Over the knee (OTK) is a common
spanking position where the culprit is placed over the disciplinarian's lap. This position works better when the spankee is physically smaller than the spanker, for instance in case of punishment of a small child. The discipline may be delivered using the spanker's hand or smaller instruments like a paddle or birch; whips and floggers are somewhat awkward when using the over the knee position.
