The Tantus Trip 2 Tawse is a piece of BDSM history reimagined in body-safe silicone. Tawses — pronounced taws — were traditionally used as corporal punishment in Scottish schools until 1987, and the classic leather version was already known for its intense, wide-area impact. Tantus has taken that design and made it even more effective by crafting it from their premium silicone, which transmits energy with remarkable efficiency. You genuinely do not need a heavy strike force to feel this one.
Two broad tongues, each 1.5 inches wide and 10 inches long, allow for long, sweeping strokes that cover plenty of surface area — making this ideal for building sensation gradually or delivering a more decisive impact, depending on the mood. The silicone construction also means that every session can be followed by a thorough, hygienic clean, so this paddle is as practical as it is exciting.
What sets the Trip 2 apart from a standard paddle is its handle. Heavily textured and solidly built, it serves double duty as a blunt impact toy and as an insertable dildo — giving you a genuinely versatile piece of kit in a single item. Whether you're drawn to impact play, sensation exploration, or both, this tawse earns its place in any toy bag.

🔥 Pleasure Scale™ Rating
A high-impact, high-versatility tool for intermediate to experienced sensation players. The silicone construction makes it deceptively powerful, and the dual-use handle means you're getting two toys in one elegant package. Not for the faint-hearted — and that's exactly the point.
Who is this paddle for?
- Impact play enthusiasts: Anyone who loves the broad, stinging sensation of a tawse and wants a silicone upgrade from leather.
- BDSM couples and partnerships: A fantastic addition to a dominant/submissive dynamic, offering versatile sensation from gentle to intense.
- Curious beginners with guidance: The wide striking surface is more forgiving to aim than a narrow flogger — a good entry point into tawse play with a partner who communicates well.
- Those who love multifunctional toys: If you want a single item that covers impact play, blunt sensation, and internal stimulation, the Trip 2 delivers all three.
- Hygiene-conscious players: The non-porous silicone is easy to fully sanitise, making it ideal for those who prioritise cleanliness in their toy collection.
How to use the Tantus Trip 2 Tawse?
- Before first use, wash the tawse thoroughly with warm water and mild soap, or use a toy cleaner.
- Agree on boundaries, a safeword, and desired intensity with your partner before beginning any impact play.
- Start with lighter, slower strokes across fleshy areas such as the buttocks or thighs to warm up the skin and build sensation gradually.
- Increase intensity slowly, checking in with your partner regularly throughout the session.
- For blunt impact play, use the handle end against the body as desired, communicating throughout.
- For internal use of the handle, apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant to the handle before insertion. Silicone toys are not compatible with silicone-based lubricants.
- After use, clean thoroughly before storage (see care section below).
Great positions to try:
- Over the knee: A classic position for paddling play that gives the giver excellent control over stroke intensity.
- All fours: Kneeling on hands and knees presents the buttocks and thighs naturally for broad tawse strokes.
- Bent over a surface: Leaning over a bed or chair arm allows for easy access and a range of stroke angles.
- Lying face down: A relaxed position ideal for longer, slower sensation-building sessions.
How to clean and care for the Tantus Trip 2 Tawse?
- Cleaning: Wash with warm water and mild soap or a dedicated toy cleaner after every use.
- Deep cleaning: As a non-porous silicone toy, it can be boiled for up to three minutes, run through the dishwasher (top rack, no detergent), or wiped down with a 10% bleach solution for thorough sanitisation.
- Drying: Pat dry with a clean lint-free cloth or allow to air dry completely before storing.
- Lube compatibility: Use water-based lubricant only with silicone toys. Silicone-based lubricants can degrade the material surface over time.
- Storage: Store in the included bag, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat, and separate from other toys to prevent material interaction.
Additional information:
- Versatility: Functions as a tawse paddle, a blunt impact tool, and an insertable dildo — three uses in one toy.
- Gender-inclusive: Suitable for all bodies and all genders; the handle can be used for vaginal or anal insertion.
- No power source required: No charging, no batteries — always ready to use.
- Body-safe: Made from non-porous, phthalate-free, latex-free silicone; suitable for those with latex sensitivities.
Special considerations when using the Tantus Trip 2 Tawse:
- Impact intensity: Silicone transmits energy very efficiently — begin with lighter strokes than you think you need and build up gradually, especially if new to tawse play.
- Aim and control: Always direct strikes toward fleshy, padded areas of the body. Avoid bony areas, the lower back, kidneys, spine, and joints.
- Anal use of handle: If using the handle anally, ensure you maintain a firm grip on the tawse end at all times to prevent full insertion. The tawse tongues act as a natural flared base.
- One-handed use: The paddle is lightweight and straightforward to grip, making it accessible for a range of dexterity levels; however, precise aim during impact play may require practice.
- Communication: Always establish a clear safeword or signal system before any impact or sensation play session.
