In support of my theory, I will state the fact that the slipper (used mostly by women, even when men also use it) is a favorite all over the world, in all cultures. Anyway, there are very few references to specialized instruments until a couple of centuries back. The paddle itself is like the ones used in several sports, a wooden instrument with a handle and a flat head, its size varying between 1 1/2 feet in the ones used for over-the-knee spanking to the more than 3 feet of the ones used for slave punishment. Several shapes were used for the head, round, oval, oblong, and rectangular being the most common. Some specialized heads are the ones with two oval sections, supposedly to hit both buttocks simultaneously, and, nowadays, some with a hand shape or even looking like a heart, made as novelties for erotic spankings.
