I had underestimated how effective plastic wrap would be as a restraint until I tried it. After all, I can tear it in my hands with little effort, how hard could this be? However, after being encased in plastic wrap I found that it has absolutely no give. Unlike rope, where there must be a bit of slack to allow for circulation, and where you're only attached at a few points, the plastic wrap basically freezes you in place. I couldn't wiggle your arms, legs, hands at all, not even a fraction of an inch. As someone who likes restraint, this was a new level of intensity. If you like restraint, it's wonderful. One thing that I did not enjoy, however, was the sweat. Not so much that it made me sweaty, but that during the session as I was "rolled" into a new position, all the sweat flooded my head area, filling my eyes and ears. It was like someone dunked my head into salt water. The fact that it got into my ears also made it impossible to hear. For some, perhaps this is a plus, but for me, I was not a fan. Also, the mumification in plastic wrap allows for maximum access during impact play - nothing is in the Mistress way like a pole or a bench, and the wrap is too thin to dull any sort of hard strike from anything. Wonderful.

I agree with job1617 is important, but for different reasons. I usually have very physically and mentally demanding sessions and after having some bad subdrop experiences I've read up on how to lessen the effects. Not to get all science on everyone, but there's alot of biochemistry at play during and after a session. For instance, I know that my adrenaline is very high during prolonged impact play, and that if I don't take steps to manage the crash afterwards, it's pretty bad. Some of this is similar to what you might simply do after a tough gym workout - drink lots of water, replenish electrolytes and energy through eating the right foods (protein rich foods like yogurt, some sugary/carb foods like potato chips or a candy bar to combat fatigue). There's also very much an emotional aspect as well as a physical aspect, though this emotional aspect is triggered neurochemically since during a session, I'm playing with adrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin and post-session, all of these levels "normalize" quite abruptly which can trigger strange emotions. Knowing is half the battle - now that I know why I might feel certain emotions, I can better place them in context, but dedicated aftercare is best to help reduce the effects. Hugging and chatting for a bit help here since it helps with oxytocin and helps to "balance things out". That's been my experience, but I also acknowledge that everyone has different sessions involving different activities. If you're into impact, watch out for sub drop.
