Top 5 Tips for Wax Play Beginners by Savoré
Are you a curious newbie looking to explore the thrilling world of wax play? Well, you've come to the right place! Wax play can be an incredibly sensual and intimate experience, but it's crucial to approach it with the utmost care and caution. At Savoré, we specialize in epicurean self-care products infused with nature's finest essential oils, I've seen my fair share of wax play enthusiasts - both seasoned veterans and wide-eyed beginners.
Today, I'm here to share my top 5 tips to help you navigate the world of wax play like a pro, even if you're just starting out. So, grab a candle (the soy kind, of course), get cozy, and let's dive in!
Tip #1: Choose the Right Candles
When it comes to wax play, not all candles are created equal. Paraffin-based candles may be tempting with their vibrant colors and alluring scents, but they're a big no-no. Paraffin wax can actually be quite harsh on the skin and can even release toxic fumes when burned. Instead, opt for natural soy wax candles, which melt at a lower temperature and are much gentler on your delicate skin.
Another important consideration is the temperature of the wax. While the thrill of hot wax can be undeniable, it's crucial to start with a lower temperature and work your way up. Aim for candles that melt at around 120-130°F (49-54°C) - any hotter and you risk serious burns. Trust me, you'll thank me later when you're not nursing a painful red splotch on your body.
Tip #2: Safety First
Wax play is all about trust, communication, and consent. Before you even think about dripping hot wax on your partner (or yourself), make sure you've had an open and honest discussion about boundaries, safe words, and expectations. Establish a clear signal system to check in with each other throughout the experience, and never, ever proceed without enthusiastic consent.
It's also important to have a first-aid kit on hand, just in case. Keep some aloe-vera gel, cold compresses, and even a mild pain reliever nearby in case of any accidental burns. Remember, safety should always be your top priority, no matter how tempting the thrill may be.
Tip #3: Proper Technique
Now that you've got the right candles and safety protocols in place, it's time to learn the art of wax play. Start by holding the candle at least 12 inches (30 cm) away from the skin and drip the wax in a slow, controlled manner. Avoid sensitive areas like the face, genitals, and other delicate spots, and focus on larger, fleshier areas like the back, chest, or thighs.
It's also important to pay attention to the temperature of the wax as it cools. The sweet spot is when the wax is still warm and pliable, but not scalding hot. Experiment with different techniques, like creating intricate patterns or letting the wax pool and harden on the skin, and always be mindful of your partner's reactions and comfort level.
Tip #4: Preparation Matters
Wax play can get a little messy, so it's crucial to set the scene for success. Lay down some old sheets or towels to protect your surfaces, and consider wearing protective clothing like long sleeves or a robe to keep your skin safe. You might also want to have some baby oil or a gentle skin cleanser on hand to make the post-play cleanup a breeze.
Don't forget to get yourself mentally prepared as well. Take some deep breaths, put on some soothing music, and get into a relaxed, playful mindset. Wax play is all about embracing the sensations and letting go of any inhibitions, so the more you can do to create a comfortable, inviting environment, the better.
Tip #5: Clean-up and Aftercare
With Savoré's wax play candles, there is no need to clean up. Gently massage the wax on your partner's body and watch it moisturize their skin giving it a radiant glow.
Aftercare is just as important as the play itself. Check in with your partner, offer emotional support, and make sure they're feeling safe and comfortable. Encourage open communication about the experience, and don't be afraid to discuss what worked, what didn't, and what you might want to try next time.
Remember, wax play is all about exploration, discovery, and most importantly, having fun! By following these top 5 tips, you'll be well on your way to becoming a wax play pro in no time. So, light those soy candles, set the mood, and get ready to experience a whole new level of sensual bliss.
Happy (and safe) waxing!
