- Do not drip wax on someone without testing the temperature yourself, try running wax on your wrist to determine if it’s safe and comfortable.
- Never hold the candle too close to the skin, use a height of roughly 18 inches from the skin, this will help lower the temperature slightly and helps the wax cool to safer levels. Also this height allows to gauge which heights are comfortable with your partner and you can adjust depending on how they feel.
- Do not gag your partner, always be constantly checking on your partner to determine if they are doing ok or rather listen to the safe word. In all BDSM play the safe word is your best friend so it is very important to be alert to it when things get a little “too hot.”
- Always shave body hair to avoid pulling when removing the wax, this can be very uncomfortable.
- Never drip wax into the eyes, ears or face.
