Coco de Mer Brown Leather Paddle

This is a treat for your senses! The paddle is made of multiple layers of thick brown leather and you will instantly feel the quality as you remove it from its cotton storage bag.

One side of the paddle is smooth brown leather, great for making a satisfying cracking noise on use. The other side is soft suede for a much more sensual (and quiet) experience. Because of the multiple layers, the paddle is stiff and easy to use with great results!

If you are looking to introduce some luxury to your spanking play, this is the choice for you. You will not regret it!

The Coco de Mer Brown Leather Paddle is part of a luxurious set, which looks and feels amazing.

The build quality looks to be of high quality of leather and suede. Has a good weight to it and can be easily held.

The price is a little high, but compared to others I feel it is much better then the others.

I have been slowly building my collection of Coco de Mer bondage equipment. I really do love a matching set. Having already purchased the wrist cuffs, the ancle cuffs the blindfold and the mini flogger, the paddle was next on list of desired items.

The Coco de Mer leather paddle is the same rich dark brown leather and luxurious. It's presented in its own natural cotton storage bag - perfect for keeping the paddle safe and separate from other bondage toys during storage.

The paddle is 13.75 inches in total length, 3.25 inches in width and an impressive almost half an inch deep. The depth is achieved through four bonded layers of leather. The paddle has a smooth leather side and a softer sued side. The handle is shaped to make it comfortable to grip, but there is no wrist loop.

In use, the suede side of the paddle is much softer and gives a gentle thud rather than a crack, while the leather side will give a slightly firmer more audible strike. I was very surprised at how flexible the paddle is. I had expected the paddle to be firmer, particularly given there are four layers of leather in the paddle.

The suede side is a good warm up, but to be honest I struggle to make the paddle cause any real pain. No matter how hard my OH swings the paddle, it only really stings. My bottom and thighs do redden but there are no welt or lasting marks. For this reason I think it would be too mild for an advanced user, and too expensive for a beginner, putting it in the realms of intermediate user (one with deep pockets).

So is the Coco de Mer paddle perfect? Not quite. I would have preferred a wrist loop. I know this is personal preference, but I have inadvertently thrown it across the room while delivering a firm blow. In honesty I'm not sure it warrants the price tag. It is very stylish, well made and part of a luxurious matching set. Most people would struggle to justify the price. Had I not really wanted a matching set, I would not have paid the price for this paddle. It is sturdy, stylish and will last a long time, but a little over priced.
