These are our MEANEST toys. That's why we call them Evil Sticks and Diabolical Sticks. 😈

Marks are never guaranteed but these can leave them on folks who mark easily.

The rod is 3mm carbon fiber rod. The tips and black handles are made with resin.

Check out this up close look at the Rough Rider

The Kinkery @thekinkery.bsky.social · 4d

Rough Riders are "rough" for a few reasons.

First, there's the scratchy hemp rope.

Then there are those knots on one side of the paddle.

The lines of rope don't always have to hurt, unless a Top with a mean streak rubs them over sensitive skin 😈

thekinkery.com/products/rou...

Three Rough Riders side by side. Each made of different wood, left to right: Maple (beige, cream color), Black Walnut (dark brown), and Cherry (red-orange-brown). The Maple and Cherry paddles show the side with nine horizontal lines of rope that have been woven through holes drilled down each vertical side of the paddle. The Black Walnut in the middle shows the side with two knots (top left, bottom right) and 8 short vertical lines of rope where it's been woven through the holes drilled down the vertical side of each paddle. Each paddle is 12 inches long (6 inch paddle length, 6 inch handle length). The paddle area is 3 inches wide with rounded corners, and the handle is 1.5 inches wide. The paddle without the rope is about .33 inches thick. With the rope, it's closer to .75 inches thick. The knots stick out about .75 inches from the wood.

You can expect plenty of smack and sting with these paddles made of Black Walnut. And if you aim just right, this paddle will hit both 🍑 cheeks at once!

Is anyone else getting Halloween vibes from these paddles?

These are all large Resin Inlay paddles. Two in the moon phase design (dark green and purple) and one in the crescent moon design (glow in the dark).

buff.ly/POgxKNg

Three large Resin Inlay paddles made of Black Walnut, a dark brown wood in full, bright light. Each paddle is 18 inches long in total (12 inch paddle length, 6 inch paddle length). The paddle area is 2.5 inches wide with rounded corners. The handle is 1.5 inches wide, and the entire paddle is about half an inch thick. Each paddle has a design cut all the way through the wood and refilled with resin, as well as paracord wrapped around the handle. The first two paddles (from the left) have a moon phase design (crescent, half, full, half, crescent) and the paddle on the right has two crescent moons set equidistant across the length of the paddle. The paddle on the left is in a dark green resin with black paracord. The paddle in the center is purple resin with a purple and black multicolor paracord. The paddle on the right is glow in the dark resin, which looks milky and translucent in full light with a neon pink paracord.

Mini Delrin canes are back in stock!

They're just as whippy and stingy as ever.

It doesn't take a lot of strength or energy to get a good hit with one. And if you (or your partner) are the type to mark, these make narrow stripes.

Eight mini Delrin canes in a row. Each one has a wooden handle and 1/8th-inch black Delrin rod.

Close up of one of the wooden handles. It's about three inches long. It's half an inch in diameter where it connects to the Delrin and widens to about .75 inches in diameter at the bottom

Who said you have to pick between pink and purple for your favorite color? Not us!

This 1/4-inch Delrin cane is made with both colors AND with glitter! (The glitter looks like white specks in the pictures, lol).

buff.ly/H34vGgc

Close up of a resin handle attached to 1/4-inch Delrin. The handle is made by combining pink and purple resins. White specks in the handle are glitter. The handle is about 5 inches long.

We'll send an email to our newsletter subscribers and announce it here when we re-open.

Butt plug keychains are NOT meant to be inserted or used. This is a novelty item ONLY. (Yes, we have to say that, lol.)

Five small butt plug keychains made light brown woods on a dark background. Each one is made with a wooden mini butt plug and a stainless steel keyring and chain. The butt plugs range in length from about 1.5 inches up to 2 inches. Each one has a tapered tip, and wide base, a narrow stem, and flat bottom - just like a butt plug should.

Even though they're relatively small (7.25 inches long, 2.5 inches wide, and 2+ ounces), these pack a real punch.
