Trip 2 Tawse Paddle: Silicone

The Trip 2 Tawse by Tantus is a silicone impact play tool designed for partners seeking intense sensation through broad, heavy strokes. Crafted from premium silicone, it delivers a distinct thud and deep impact, making it suitable for experienced users looking to explore sensation play with a durable, body-safe instrument.

This paddle features two broad tongues, each measuring approximately 1.5 inches in width and 8.75 inches in length, which allows for long, sweeping strikes across larger surface areas. The design is inspired by the traditional Scottish tawse, a historical instrument of corporal punishment, but modernized for safe adult play. The silicone material is engineered to transmit energy effectively, meaning it requires less force to achieve a significant impact compared to leather alternatives. This characteristic allows for controlled, powerful strokes that can be adjusted by varying the speed and angle of the swing.

The handle of the Trip 2 Tawse is substantial, with a diameter of 1.48 inches, providing a secure grip even during vigorous use. Beyond its primary function as a paddle, the handle is designed to be versatile. It features a heavily textured surface that can serve as a blunt impact tool or, for those interested in dual-purpose play, as a potential internal toy. The smooth, non-porous nature of Tantus Silicone ensures that the handle can be thoroughly cleansed, maintaining hygiene whether used for impact play or internal stimulation.

Material safety is a cornerstone of this product. Made from 100% Ultra-Premium Silicone, the Trip 2 Tawse is hypoallergenic, phthalate-free, and safe for body contact. The material's density contributes to its performance, offering a firm yet flexible feel that absorbs shock while delivering a sharp, satisfying sensation. This construction allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, as the silicone is eco-friendly and resistant to bacteria buildup. Users can boil, bleach, or place the paddle in a dishwasher for thorough sanitation, ensuring it remains safe for repeated use.

When using the Trip 2 Tawse, it is important to start with lighter strokes to gauge the intensity, as the silicone's efficiency in transmitting energy can make impacts feel more intense than expected. The broad width of the tongues distributes impact across a wider area, reducing the risk of concentrated pain while still providing a strong sensory experience. This makes it an excellent choice for partners who prefer broad, rhythmic sensations over sharp, stinging impacts. The total length of 17 inches provides ample leverage, allowing for full-arm swings that engage larger muscle groups for a more dynamic play session.

Care and storage are straightforward with this product. After use, simply wash with mild soap and water or a dedicated toy cleaner. Due to its non-porous nature, it does not require powdering for storage, though keeping it in a separate bag or container prevents contact with other toys that might be damaged by silicone. The durability of Tantus Silicone ensures that the paddle maintains its shape and texture over time, making it a long-term addition to any wellness collection.
