The 10 best spanking tools & implements

Looking for some handy spanking tools for your naughty sub? Tired of the same old whips and paddles?

If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place. For each of these, we’ll show you some pros and cons, and give you tips on how to use each to its fullest potential.

Here are the 12 best spanking tools, implements, and accessories for a kinky time!

1 Hand

Pain level: 4

Pain type: Varies from sharp and intense to sensual.

Fun Factor: 5

No matter the situation or dynamic, a good spanking by hand is always fun and sexy! Not only does it require almost no special training or skills, but it’s also very effective and can be quite painful.

The easiest way to get started is in the OTK (over the knee) position. It’s also easy to switch from spanking to caressing, touching, or pinching so you will have plenty to do. 😉

Just know that it may also hurt the giver after a while, and not just the receiver.

2 Whip

Pain level: 7

Pain type: Sharp and intense, usually lasts a bit.

Fun Factor: 7

Whips are pretty much synonymous with sadomasochism and impact play and should not be missing from any spanking toolbox. They come in all sizes, shapes, and materials, with or without extras, and there are far too many to cover here.

Start small, gain experience, and then work your way up to more sophisticated types of whips.

Be careful not to overdo it on the first try and always test them out on yourself, as well as less sensitive body parts first. Oh, and did we mention they can be VERY expensive if you go for some of the really good ones? They are worth it, though.

3 Paddle

Pain level: 5

Pain type: Flatt and dull pain, followed by a tickling sensation and a warm flow.

Fun Factor: 8

When you first hear that thump-ing sound of a paddle on a sub’s butt, you will instantly fall in love with it.

They are generally easy to handle and can be used in all spanking positions. They are most often used for punishment spankings without prior warm-up or as continuation right after.

Be careful not to hit any bones or intimate parts, as they are much to hard and inflexible for that.

4 Riding Crop/Rod

Pain level: 2

Pain type: Superficial and short but also versatile.

Fun Factor: 4

Crops and rods are usually not super intense and can be a great for beginners experimenting with impact play for the first time. They come in different shapes and sizes but can be a bit pricey at times.

They are super loud but very versatile, depending on whether you want a short, sharper pain or a lighter, more stretched out one.

5 Cane

Pain level: 9

Pain type: Sharp and burning, superficial at first but followed by a deep after pain.

Fun Factor: 10

No list of the best spanking tools is complete without the infamous cane. Arguably the most iconic of all implements, apart from the whip, the cane is used when you want your Bottom to REALLY feel it.

Be careful, however, as these can leave deep welts, and break the skin easily. They are definitely not for beginners and training and experience are required to use them safely.

Your sub or bottom will love and hate every second of it simultaneously and will not forget the touch of the cane any time soon.

6 Flogger

Pain level: 3

Pain type: Superficial, almost tickling. Often described more as a scare than pain.

Fun Factor: 3

Floggers are usually lighter versions of whips and as such not as intense. This makes them suitable to be used by intermediate Doms/Tops without big safety risks.

They are relatively easy to master and are usually short enough so that the loose end(s) don’t achieve the same velocities as those of bigger whips.

They can be relatively silent which makes them great if you must keep the noise down.

6 Wooden Spoon

Pain level: 5

Pain type: Dull and burning.

Fun Factor: 7

Wooden spoons are fun, versatile, and readily available in most households. They aren’t the most intense tools in the arsenal, however, can leave a few good bruises and painful shrieks from your sub/bottom.

We love them for their ease of used and the fact that they can be stored in plain sight. Which of course means they can easily be grabbed to punish a naughty sub on the fly.

Just be careful not to break them too quickly over their butt.

7 Hairbrush

Pain level: 3

Pain type: Dull and superficial but usually light.

Fun Factor: 8

Everything we said about wooden spoons can also be said about hairbrushes. While they’re even less intense, they offer two sides with different sensations.

They are also suitable for spanking a person’s more intimate parts (lightly!) and rubbing the brushes over their red butt. Great fun!

8 Belt

Pain level: 8

Pain type: Deep, pulling pain. Burning sensation that lasts a bit.

Fun Factor: 9

Belts are great for intense impact play, albeit not easy to handle. They require experience from the handler and even then be extra careful not to hit too sensitive body parts.

Belts can double as bondage instruments, as well, which makes them even more versatile.

Unfortunately, they are really loud and you should be careful not to trigger childhood traumas for some people.

9 Cable

Pain level: 9

Pain type: Intense and sharp that is followed by a burning sensation.

Fun Factor: 6

Cables are essentially the same as rubber whips. Very painful and great for intense S&M impact play.

They can leave deep welts and easily break the skin, so handle with care!

In the hands of an experienced Dom/Top you can be sure to leave a lasting impression on your sub/bottom.

10 Slippers & Sandals

Pain level: 2

Pain type: Usually more of a noise reaction than actual pain.

Fun Factor: 7

Slippers and sandals are essentially representatives for a variety of spanking tools that are “situational” in nature.

Sometimes you just want to teach your naughty, misbehaving sub a quick lesson but the belt is a bit too much…in that case, a pair. of sandals or flip flops can really com ein i handy.
