Tantus Trip 2 Tawse Dildo Paddle Whip

The Tantus Trip 2 Tawse is a fearsome piece of impact play heritage reimagined in premium body-safe silicone. Tawses — pronounced taws — were used as corporal punishment in Scottish public schools until 1987, and the traditional leather version is already notorious for its intense sting. Tantus has taken that legacy and amplified it: because silicone transmits energy so efficiently, the Trip 2 Tawse delivers a powerful, broad impact with remarkably little strike force required. The business end features two wide, flat tongues, each 1.5 inches across and 10 inches long, designed for long, sweeping strokes that cover a generous surface area. The thick, rigid handle doubles as a blunt impact tool and, thanks to its heavily textured surface, functions as an insertable dildo for internal use. Every inch is crafted from Tantus's signature platinum-cure silicone, making the entire piece fully hygienic and easy to sterilise between uses or partners.

Trip 2 Tawse features:

• Two broad silicone tongues — each 1.5 inches wide and 10 inches long — for wide, sweeping impact strokes
• High-energy transfer silicone construction delivers intense sensation with minimal force
• Rigid, heavily textured handle suitable for blunt impact play
• Handle designed for internal use as a dildo
• Platinum-cure silicone is non-porous and fully sterilisable
• Black colourway suits a wide range of scene aesthetics

Intensity & Experience Level

Level: Intermediate to Advanced | Sensation: Stingy / Thuddy (dual-mode)

The Trip 2 Tawse is deceptively powerful — the silicone construction means even a light swing produces a sharp, stinging bite across a broad area, making it less forgiving than a beginner's crop or flogger. Those new to tawse play should start with very gentle strokes and build slowly; experienced players will find plenty of room to explore the full spectrum from warm, broad thud to an intense, concentrated sting.

Who is this product for?

• Impact play enthusiasts: Anyone who loves the broad, stinging sensation of a traditional tawse but wants the durability and hygiene benefits of silicone.
• Disciplinarian Dominants: Those running structured discipline or punishment scenes who want an implement with real authority and a storied history.
• Sensation explorers: Players curious about combining impact with penetration, using the textured handle as a dildo before, during, or after a scene.
• Experienced submissives: Bottoms who have worked up through lighter implements and are ready to explore a more demanding sting across wider body areas.
• Couples who prioritise hygiene: Partners who share toys and need something that can be fully sterilised between uses.

How to use the Trip 2 Tawse?

1. Negotiate and consent: Discuss impact limits, target areas (typically the buttocks, upper thighs, or upper back — avoid the spine, kidneys, and joints), and agree on a safeword before play begins.
2. Warm up the skin: Begin a scene with lighter impact tools or hand spanking to increase blood flow to the target area, making the body more receptive to the tawse's sting.
3. Grip the handle: Hold the rigid handle firmly. The weight of the silicone tongues will do the work — no need for excessive force.
4. Start light: Deliver slow, controlled strokes with minimal backswing. Observe and listen to the receiver's reactions carefully.
5. Comfort checkpoint: Pause after the first few strikes and check in verbally. Adjust intensity, location, or pacing based on feedback.
6. Escalate gradually: Increase stroke speed or force only with ongoing enthusiastic consent. The broad tongues are ideal for long, sweeping strokes across fleshier areas.
7. Handle play (blunt impact or dildo): If using the handle for blunt thud impact, apply with controlled, measured force. For internal use, apply a generous amount of water-based lubricant to the handle before insertion.
8. Stop/release step: If a safeword is called or the receiver signals to stop, cease all impact immediately, set the implement down, and provide aftercare — warmth, comfort, and time together to decompress.

Techniques & ways to play

• Solo sensation mapping: Use the tongues lightly on your own thighs or buttocks to gauge the intensity level and understand how the implement feels before using it with a partner.
• Partnered discipline scenes: A classic Dominant-led scenario where the tawse is used as a formal punishment implement, leaning into its historical Scottish schoolroom associations.
• Alternating sensation: Switch between the sting of the tawse tongues and the blunt thud of the handle to create contrast and keep the bottom's nervous system guessing.
• Dual-use penetration scene: Incorporate the textured handle as a dildo during or after impact play for a layered, full-body experience.
• Dom/sub control dynamic: The Dominant holds the implement and controls all pacing and intensity. Consent, safewords, and check-ins must be established before escalating beyond warm-up intensity — the tawse's efficiency means escalation happens quickly.

Pairs well with / Complete the scene

• Water-based lubricant: Required for any internal use of the handle — silicone lubricant can degrade silicone toys, so water-based is essential.
• Leather or silicone restraints: Wrist or ankle cuffs to keep the bottom in position during a discipline scene.
• Blindfold or sensory deprivation hood: Removing sight heightens anticipation and amplifies the sensation of each stroke.
• Aftercare kit: Soothing balm, a soft blanket, and water to support aftercare following intense impact sessions.
• Collections to explore: Tantus Impact Play range; The BDSM Store Paddles, Whips & Ticklers collection.

How to clean and care

Because the Trip 2 Tawse is made from non-porous platinum-cure silicone, it is one of the easiest impact toys to keep fully hygienic. Wash with warm water and mild soap after every use, paying particular attention to the textured handle if it has been used internally. For full sterilisation — especially before sharing between partners — boil for 3–5 minutes, run through the top rack of a dishwasher (without detergent), or wipe down thoroughly with a 10% bleach solution followed by a clean water rinse. Pat dry with a clean lint-free cloth and allow to air dry completely before storing. Store in the included drawstring bag away from direct sunlight and heat, and keep away from other silicone toys to prevent any surface transfer. Always use water-based lubricant if the handle is being used for penetration — silicone-based lubricants are not compatible with silicone toys.

Additional information

Tantus silicone is renowned for its long-term durability — with proper care the Trip 2 Tawse will not degrade, crack, or harbour bacteria the way leather implements can. Unlike leather tawses, it requires no conditioning or specialist cleaning products, lowering the ongoing cost of ownership. Its dual function as both an impact implement and an insertable handle makes it exceptionally versatile within a single scene or across different play styles. The implement is fully colour-fast and will not stain fabrics or skin. The included storage bag protects the surface between uses and makes discreet storage straightforward.

Special considerations / warnings

• Intensity warning: Silicone transmits energy more efficiently than leather — even gentle strokes can produce significant impact. Always start lighter than you think necessary.
• Avoid sensitive areas: Never strike the spine, tailbone, kidneys, joints, neck, or head. Target only well-muscled, fleshy areas.
• Skin integrity: Do not use on broken, bruised, irritated, or sunburned skin.
• Lube compatibility: Use only water-based lubricant for internal handle use. Silicone-based lubricants will damage the silicone surface.
• Medical flag: Individuals with circulatory disorders, bleeding conditions, blood thinners, skin sensitivities, or nerve damage should consult a medical professional before engaging in impact play.
• Safeword protocol: Always establish a clear safeword or signal — particularly important with an implement of this intensity — and honour it immediately without question.
• Supervision: Never leave a restrained person unattended.
