Hi Jan123, this is an interesting post and in response to it I’ve ordered in some Japanese Drip Candles for June which you can check out here:
http://sexgear.co.nz/bondage-gear/kits/japanese-drip-candles/. The candles are specially designed for the purpose of wax play and you can drip the wax, pour it, or even paint it on with a brush!
Communication is really important when experimenting with these types of toys; otherwise one of you may be having a fabulous time while the other is in serious pain!
I’ve put together some top tips for you to help you with your experimentation:
1. Hold the candle at least 18 inches above the skin, this allows the drip some time to cool before landing on the skin.
2. Test the temperature on yourself first (start with less sensitive areas) to gauge safety in terms of temperature.
3. Start with larger less sensitive areas like the back or shoulders. Avoid the face, and be especially careful with delicate areas like the genitals, nipples or navel.
4. Remember once wax cools it's tough to remove it from hair, so avoid hairy areas unless you're aiming for a wax hair removal treatment!!
I hope that’s helpful.
Take care,
Sarah and the SG Team
