How to Choose A Perfect Body Wrap Bandage?(2)
Bandage Type 2 : Plastic Wraps
Another type of wrap that can be used for body wrapping is the Plastic Wrap. Yes, the very same plastic wrap you have in your pantry! Some people prefer this wrap because:
-
They are easy to apply. They stick together effortlessly which means less trouble especially when wrapping around the back.
-
There is no need to clean them and prepare them for the next use; just easily toss them into your garbage bin, and you’re done!
However, there are also reasons why you’d think twice about using plastic wraps:
-
They cannot be soaked in hot water, so they don’t give that extra warmth needed to enhance detoxification and inch loss.
-
Plastic wraps don’t allow for proper skin ventilation unlike cloth wraps that have tiny spaces in between woven material.
-
Since you’re throwing them away after every wrap, you’ll have to keep purchasing them every time you want to do a body wrap at home.
-
You can only use plastic wraps when you’re applying clay/mud/gel/cream directly over your skin. You can’t use them if you want to use liquid body wrap solutions.
More Tips on Using Body Wrap Bandages
-
When wrapping, ensure total coverage of the area involved leaving no patch of skin exposed. Bandages should have a clean overlap - no bulges or tight areas that might be detrimental to the results of the Body Wrap.
-
Wrap snugly but not very tightly. By trying to save on the bandages, you might be tempted to try to cover as much skin as you can with a single bandage. You’ll be saving on bandages, maybe, but you’ll be sacrificing your results because of poor blood circulation.
-
Always wrap the area farthest from the heart going on towards the hear. It is ideal to start wrapping your ankle first going in an upward direction. Wrap from the outside of the body towards the front so as not to interrupt the blood circulation and wrap as high up your legs and as close to your groin as possible, then your abdomen, and up to your chest. Never leave any skin exposed!
Have you decided which type of body wrap bandage is best for you? Body Wrap Bandages can make or break your entire experience with the treatment, so don’t skip on your task of establishing your goals for the body wrap and finding out what kind of bandages can support these goals. Choose wisely!
