I recently left a review for a fly swatter on Amazon. This is a heavy duty flyswatter described by the sellers as having a “high quality thick and flexible leather slapper and durable beech wood handle”. It is, they tell us, “much more effective than the cheap flimsy plastic swatters – fly swat is heavy and delivers good slaps”
I was gratified (and a bit surprised) to see that the review is still there. Because, you won’t be surprised to learn, I wasn’t reviewing the item for its fly-swatting abilities. When I see an item that looks like this:

swatting flies is not the first thing that comes to mind.
Happily, not only have the Amazon Smut Police not seen fit to remove my spanktastic product review, five people have also found my comments helpful.
I’d tell you to go and read it here, but you don’t actually need to because I am going to reprint the whole thing below.
So here you go, folks. It’ll be no surprise to any of you to learn how we use flyswatters at Tea & Spanking Towers.

Customer Review
Reviewed in the United Kingdom Verified Purchase
There are plenty of reviews here which cover this product’s efficacy at swatting insects. I’m sure I can’t be the only person who bought this with an entirely different use in mind.
Flies don’t get swatted in my house, I’m far too much of a hippy for that.
I, however, do get swatted. A lot. In a consensual risk-aware kinky way. So this review is for any spankers or spankees out there who are considering purchasing this item for non-insect-swatting purposes.
This is a nicely made bit of kit. It already looks like something you might buy from Uberkinky so it looks right at home in our toy bag.
It delivers a satisfying slap which leaves a pleasing amount of pinkness but no marks or bruises. As such, it is a good purchase for those whose spanking requirements are more at the ‘slap and tickle’ end of the spanking gradient. It also makes a nice warm-up implement for those of us who prefer a more thorough job. We’ll certainly be using it again.
And, hey, you could also use it for swatting flies if you want to. Although, you probably should buy a second one for that. Of course, if getting smooshed-up fly guts on your backside is something you’re into then have at it, I guess.

I just read your review on Amazon…it is still there! Six people found it helpful ๐
love your review! Interesting use of the product — wonder what the vendor thinks of your review! LOL
We don’t swat flies either! And while my husband enjoys using my pink paddle hairbrush, this may be better than the wooden spoon my son caught him using last year.
So many not-intended-for-spanking things make great spanking implements! I like a wooden spoon too. My boyfriend broke my wooden paddle hairbrush (on my bottom) and replaced it with another big sturdy wooden paddle brush. He finds it a bit weird when I brush my hair with it. “That’s not what it’s for!”
Lol. Your review is great
I went and read your review on Amazon.co.uk because I was curious to see if it was still there and it was, cool I would guess that the seller does not mind if their customers are creative about the use of the item.
I bet spankos are quite a significant chunk of that product’s customers. Everyone else is just being more discreet about it.
My grandmother used to swat our legs and butts with a fly swatter. This one would have been perfect. ๐
