Those are all pretty stingy impact toys. If you're wanting bruises, use something thuddy. Think slapping vs punching. Thud impact toys are usually heavy, stiff, not much surface area, and don't have flat edges. Now thud isn't for everyone, and that's totally fine. Everyone has preferences, one isn't better or worse

You can find a lot of thud impact toys at the hardware store, they're just intimidating and much more dangerous to use. Hitting someone with a ruler isn't as dangerous as hitting with a mallet. But that's the kind of impact you're gonna want to look for. Paddles can sometimes do it as well, but paddles have a lot surface area, so they don't feel thuddy to everyone. Hitting with the edge of a paddle would usually work though

Then it's hitting the same spot over and over again
