![]() In my experience, I have found that oil gets too hot when wax is dripped on it. This makes the removal of dried wax much easier. Some people like to put a layer of oil between the dripping wax and the bottom’s naked skin. You can also lay down a towel or have your partner lying on leather, hardwood, or tile flooring for something a little different. Old sheets make for a quick and easy cleanup, but there are options below for cleaning if you can’t find any. Neither are particularly good for Wax Play because you can definitely hurt yourself or your partner. If you have a fire extinguisher, that would likely be helpful as well-we are playing with fire after all.Īlways remember that drugs and alcohol can tamper with your brain's receptors, making some people much more averse to pain, and others more pain tolerant. If anything is too hot or painful, you can always use a damp towel to cool the area quickly. Keep a bowl of cold water with a washcloth next to you at all times. This ensures that you’re not pulling out hairs after playtime is over. You can even sensually work this into play by setting a bowl of water aside and lathering up the shaving cream in hand before massaging in the cream and removing the hair for them-especially in hard-to-reach areas like their back, butt cheeks, or the back of the thighs. Next, you’ll want to shave the area you want to drip on yourself or your partner. ![]() Other questions to ask your partner before Wax Play: Unless the collective goal is to leave marks, it’s best to avoid beeswax. Beeswax burns at 150ºf to 170ºf and will scar or leave painful marks for days. The difference is like walking around the Sahara desert for a while versus sticking your hand in an oven (which you shouldn’t do because it’s too hot). This is the perfect temperature for the skin to feel the heat, without being overwhelmed. Paraffin and soy wax burn between 110ºf and 130ºf, or 43.3✬ to 54.4✬. There are only two types of wax that should be used on human skin, regardless of “pain tolerance.” Pain tolerance is not temperature tolerance. We’ll talk more about the differences later in this guide. There are three candle types that I suggest: tapered, pillar, and votive. If you still want to play with a scented candle, you can light one in the room before play, and have it burning while you use unscented candles on the skin. Unless the candle is explicitly made for play (you can find these at play stores or online), these candles are made only for visual and olfactory pleasure. Please, for the sake of yourself and your sub, do not use a scented candle, or a candle with a wide mouth jar. ![]() ![]() Follow each candle’s heating instructions and, above all, communicate your kink needs with your partner(s) beforehand.įrom sleek, understated black candles to an amber jar that’ll make millennial hearts sing, we’ve found a candle for every one of your bedroom moods.Candle choice is important. (Also, avoid the anus, that’s tender meat.) Rather, opt for massage candles whose scents and ingredients, like soy and paraffin, agree with your body. That being said: Please don’t pour just any Yankee Candle on your lover’s buttocks. Worst case scenario (well, maybe not the worst - be careful with fire!), you end up with a new candle for the mantle.īut on a deeper level, wax play encapsulates so much of the coy, tender undercurrent we love within BDSM practices - candle play can be warm, atmospheric, and deliciously medieval. Next to a little light spanking and flogging, we can’t think of a better way to low-key test the waters of dom-sub dynamics. Is wax play the pique of midway kink? The gateway to a little BDSM that’s been burning under our noses all this time? If you’re new to the kinky pastime, consider our humbly distilled definition: at its most basic, wax play is the act of sensually pouring candle wax onto a lover’s bare skin during foreplay, massage, and sex.
