DIY Bastinado Tool

It’s always nice to have a variety of implements. An assortment of crops, canes, belts, and rulers/sticks are always welcome. But I wanted something with a spikey feel.

I already happened to have this set of an “Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set” I initially bought it as a variation of some barefoot torture, and making a slave stand or kneel on it. (You could also use it for its intended purpose, to promote blood circulation). It’s full o plastic spikes that are sharp, but not so sharp as to be dangerous.

I wasn’t really using the pillow, though. And I was able to remove the fabric on it, with the spiked circles glued to the fabric. I cut some out, and then glued that to a wooden ladle for a fun new, self-made basintado device.

I do realize you can purchase spiked paddles, but many of the ones I see are either way too sharp and pointed, or not sharp enough. This strikes me (no pun intended, lol) as a good compromise.

Recently, my husband tried this out on me, and it can pack a pretty decent sensation. It doesn’t take much before it’s quite intense, but I wasn’t really complaining. It’ll be great the next time I get a slave in my Foot Stocks.
