Preparing for a Spanking Session: Clothing, Shaving & Cleanliness
Welcome back to Wednesdays with Gin. Every Wednesday I share a new post on Smiles and Spanks. By request, this week I'm talking about preparing for a spanking session with me: what you wear, what I wear, whether you should shave, and cleanliness.
What You Wear
This is actually quite simple: just wear regular vanilla clothing. I have no strong preference for what you wear, as long as both you and your clothes are clean and comfortable.
I know quite a few spankees who enjoy crossdressing, while others prefer to be spanked in a particular outfit. Spankees will either bring the clothing with them and change once they have arrived for the session or, if they visit regularly, leave it with me until their next visit.
I myself very much love the look of classic white cotton spanking panties on a spankee, so I keep a variety of styles and sizes available for my spanking sessions. For hygienic reasons, each pair is assigned to one specific spankee and is never shared. If they are kept at my place, they are washed after each session and stored in a labeled plastic bag until the spankee's next visit.
Spankees are welcome to change in complete privacy, but some prefer being supervised while they change into their spanking clothes or spanking panties, and that is perfectly acceptable as well. It is important to note that crossdressing or wearing spanking panties is never a requirement within my spanking sessions. It is a preference expressed by the spankee and something that I enjoy, so it is therefore a welcome addition to the session.
Also, if you happen to arrive wearing a leather belt, don't be too surprised if it ends up being put to very good use on your behind. I also have a particular fondness for giving a good paddling over a pair of jeans before moving on to whatever comes next, so that is something to keep in mind!
Cleanliness
I take cleanliness very seriously and make every effort to ensure that both I and my session space are clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Freshly laundered bedding is used for every session, and all of my implements are cleaned after every session. I also always wear clean clothing.
I kindly ask that you also arrive freshly showered and wearing clean clothing. If you've travelled a long distance or are coming directly from work, you're very welcome to freshen up before we begin. A shower, soap, and fresh towels are available for your use.
The only time I had an issue with hygiene was with someone who had smoked a cigar immediately before arriving, and the lingering smell wasn't particularly pleasant, especially because I am very sensitive to smell. A quick shower solved the problem, and we carried on without any issues. So, not smoking cigars or cigarettes before a session is strongly preferred.
A word of warning: showering here has occasionally been known to result in a wet bottom spanking with a wooden bath brush…
What I Wear
It is only on occasion that I will take clothing requests, but I do not, and never will, wear any sort of BDSM leather or latex outfit. It simply does not match my style or aesthetic, and I do not find those types of clothing comfortable, so please do not ask.
Most of the time I'll be wearing either a black dress with tights or black trousers with a black top. Some spankees prefer a more casual look because it makes the spanking feel more spontaneous, as though it could happen in everyday life. In those cases, I might wear something like yoga pants or jeans instead.
If I wear heels, they are always very short because I don't like being especially tall and I prefer to stay around my natural five-foot (152 cm) height. I do think heels look nice, and I will occasionally wear them when I have someone over my knee, but wearing heels regularly interferes with my daily yoga practice, so I choose not to wear them very often.
If your clothing preferences for the spanker are more important to you than having a spanker that is comfortable, then I suggest you go look elsewhere to have your visual needs fulfilled.
To Shave or Not to Shave
Some people seem to assume they'll make a better impression by shaving their bottom and upper thighs before a session, and while I appreciate the thoughtfulness behind that, I'd actually prefer that you didn't shave for my benefit.
The reason is simple: I have extremely sensitive skin.
Fresh stubble causes a surprisingly strong reaction on my hands and wrists during a session. After prolonged contact, my skin becomes incredibly red and irritated. It's very uncomfortable and can linger for hours after the session has ended.
A freshly shaved bottom, particularly if it hasn't been shaved carefully, can also cause problems during a spanking. Shaving can leave the skin more sensitive, irritated, or covered in tiny nicks that aren't always visible. As a result, the skin may be more prone to breaking during the session.
So if you were considering shaving because you thought it was something I preferred, please don't. In fact, leaving your natural body hair is much kinder to my skin, and yours too!
On a personal note, I also happen to really like body hair. I just love the way it looks. Whether you normally shave or not is entirely your choice, of course, and you're welcome to present yourself however you're most comfortable. I simply don't want anyone changing their grooming routine by shaving their lovely bottom because they think it's expected or something I prefer.
So, bottom line: if you're wondering how to prepare for a session, my advice is simple: have a shower (or shower at my place after you arrive), be clean, wear clean clothes, don't worry about shaving for my benefit, and come as yourself. There is no need to overthink what you wear or how you look. What matters to me is that you're clean, comfortable, and ready to enjoy the spanking experience.
