The Tantus Tawse It Overboard is a silicone tawse: four tongues, each 3/8 inch thick and 8.5 inches long, on a textured handle. Silicone is dense and carries energy well, so Tantus says it takes very little strike force to land hard. This is a toy for experienced impact play.
The 1.5 x 6 inch handle also works for blunt, thuddy impact, and Tantus suggests it as a textured dildo. Because the Tawse It Overboard is solid silicone, you can boil it or put it in the dishwasher.

IMPACT PLAY BASICS
- Agree on a safe word and a scale (for example 1 to 10) before you start.
- Warm up with your hand, then the lightest touch of the tawse.
- Aim for fleshy areas: buttocks and upper thighs. Avoid the spine, kidneys, joints, face and neck.
- Check in often and stop at any sign of real pain.

TAWSE IT OVERBOARD QUESTIONS
What is a tawse?
A strap with split tongues, historically used for corporal punishment in Scottish schools until 1987, as Tantus notes. In kink it’s an impact toy that gives a sharp, stingy feel.
How intense is the Tawse It Overboard?
Intense. It has four dense silicone tongues, and Tantus says silicone transmits energy so well that it needs very little strike force. Start very light.
Can the handle be used as a dildo?
Tantus suggests the textured handle as a potential dildo. Only use it inside if you clean it thoroughly first, use plenty of lube, and never move it between anal and vaginal use without washing.
How do I clean it?
It’s 100% silicone: boil it, put it in the dishwasher, or wash with soap and water.
Is it for beginners?
Not really. A single-tongue silicone paddle is an easier first impact toy.
