Impact

Impact toys are a great way to add variety to the sensations of playtime. Canes and crops work well for some consensual sting-y thwacks, while paddles and floggers deliver a deeper, more thuddy blow. These delicious hitty things—which can start out light, and work up—are great for beginners and advanced folks alike. Communication is the key here: talk to your play partner in advance about what does and does not work, and be aware of body language cues for a safer, consensual time.
