As a dom/ina: You'll want at least two people to accomplish the mummification, just so that one can steady the sub, and especially if it's a large sub and small dom/ina. 1. start wrapping from the neck & shoulders down—that way the sub can keep hir own balance until you are wrapping thighs or knees. 2. be aware that you will be raising the sub's core temperature, and very quickly; having too many wraps/covers/comforters/quilts for aftercare is a whole lot better than putting the sub into an artificial state of shock (major symptom of shock is significant drop in body temp.). 3. the sub will need a secure place to repose (recliner, laid out flat, sling, other) and must NEVER be left alone (sensory deprivation can make it seem they are, but that's a mind game). 4. plastic wrap is only the first layer of mummification; once wrapped, the sub is taped (only atop the wrap, because tape adhesives are chemically less than great skin treatments!). 5. the wrapped sub is now completely dependent on the dom/ina…for everything from having their nose scratched to basics like a sip of water. Variations include cut-outs for more than just the dangly bits, where varied sensations can be applied. I use food-grade plastic wrap (under the wrap it's like a steam bath/sauna to the sub, perfect for osmosing chems into the skin while pores are wide open; I'm not going to use commercial shrinkwrap or the like) and have not yet done more than a neck-to-ankles mummification. Now, all that said, if anyone knows of a good, flexible, waterproof, and variably colored wide (2 inches/5 cm) tape that doesn't cost the earth AND doesn't gum up pool & spa filters, I know a mermaid-maker (waist-to-toe mummification, with costume aspect) who really wants something now that duct tape has proven itself nasty to those filters. He once had half a dozen mermaids in a pool at a kinky event; the board he uses for the base of tail gives them truly excellent swim-ability (think dolphin kick, but with fins). At the request of one sub, I did a mummification using clear tape over clear plastic wrap. Oddly like a human chrysalis. Lady Delilah Deb
