The Tantus Gen Paddle is a narrow silicone paddle built for small targets. Its thin tongue is 2.5 inches wide, so it fits places a broad paddle can’t reach, and Tantus describes its bite as stingy and precise. It is made for genital and targeted impact but also works as an all-round paddle.
Turn the Gen Paddle around and it becomes two more toys. The rounded handle gives a thuddy hit, and the handle is also insertable with lube. It comes in a storage bag, in Onyx (black).
ONE GEN PADDLE, THREE WAYS TO USE IT
| End | What it does |
|---|---|
| Tongue (6.5 x 2.5 in) | Thin and stingy. Tantus: precise bite, deep muscle impact, little wrist movement needed |
| Handle, reversed | Rounded egg grip at the end gives a thuddy hit |
| Handle, inserted | Safe for insertion with lube: 6.75 in insertable per the spec list (7 in in the text), 0.53 in diameter |
From Tantus’s product description. Total length 12.5 in (31.75 cm); handle width 0.4 in.
WHY SILICONE FOR IMPACT
Tantus picks silicone for impact toys because it transmits energy well and can be cleaned properly, so the Gen Paddle can be shared once washed. 100% Tantus silicone is boilable and dishwasher safe. That matters on a toy that goes from skin to inside the body.
SAFER IMPACT WITH A SMALL PADDLE
- Agree on a stop word or signal before you start.
- Warm up with light taps; a narrow paddle concentrates force on a small spot.
- Avoid the spine, kidneys, joints and the face.
- If you switch from impact to insertion, wash the handle and use plenty of water-based lube.

GEN PADDLE QUESTIONS
How long is the Gen Paddle?
12.5 inches in total, according to Tantus. The tongue (the striking end) is 6.5 in long and 2.5 in wide.
Can the handle really be used inside the body?
Yes. Tantus says the handle is safe for insertion with a personal lubricant. Its copy gives the insertable length as 7 in in one place and 6.75 in (17.41 cm) in the spec list, with a slim 0.53 in handle diameter. Clean it between impact and insertion, and between partners.
Is the Gen Paddle stingy or thuddy?
Both, depending on which end lands. Tantus describes the thin tongue as stingy, with a precise bite and deep muscle impact. Turned around, the handle gives a thuddy hit.
Is it good for genital impact?
Tantus designed the Gen Paddle for small spaces and calls it perfect for genital and targeted impact. Start very light; genitals bruise easily.
How do I clean a silicone paddle?
Tantus silicone is boilable and dishwasher safe. Tantus also says it is safe to use with more than one partner after cleaning.
