A considered approach to wax play
Wax play basics
Questions before you begin
How should I test wax temperature?
Begin with a very small amount on a less sensitive area and pour from a greater distance. Wait before adding more and stop if the sensation becomes uncomfortable.
Does pouring distance affect the sensation?
Yes. Wax generally cools as it travels through the air, but formula, room temperature, burn time, and airflow also matter. Distance is not a substitute for testing first.
Where should wax not be used?
Avoid the face, eyes, mouth, genitals, broken or irritated skin, areas with reduced sensation, and places where hot wax cannot be removed quickly.
Can a burning wax play candle be left unattended?
No. Keep the candle stable, away from hair and fabrics, and within reach of a safe extinguishing method. Extinguish it fully before leaving the area.
