Sploshing Substance Criteria

1. Slippery

Usually you'll want to be able to slip and slide--choose oil or custard or something similar. But occasionally you'll want something more solid, like strawberries.

2. Texture

Oil, custard and slime are great smooth choices. Pasta or cake are firmer. Beans in sauce occupy a nice middle ground: slippery but with little solid points to press against skin. Fruits and vegetables vary--have fun experimenting.

3. Edible (and preferably tasty!)

If you can eat it, it's likely safer than something which isn't edible. And if you can eat it, you can use your lips and tongues to start cleaning your lover's body off.

4. Temperature

Warmth is soothing, room temperature neutral. Cold, especially on a hot summer day, awakens the senses.

5. Transparent or Opaque

If it's transparent, you can see the bodily reactions underneath. Some liquids turn clothing transparent allowing underwear (or even more naughty things) to be exposed. On the other hand, opaque substances let you see what you're sploshing or being sploshed with.

6. Liquid or Solid

Liquids can be sprayed; think chocolate milk in a squirt gun. Solids can be firmly rubbed; think chocolate cake.

See also 2. Texture above.

7. Non-irritating

No one wants an uncomfortable experience, or worse, hives. And remember, many areas of the body are super-sensitive.

8. Hypo-allergenic

See 7. above. Always ask your partner if s/he has any allergies or other special sensitivities.

10.Easy to Clean

Hair, clothes, little cracks on the floor.

11. Cost

The object is to have fun, not break the bank. The UMD wiki has several low-cost ideas.
