There is no way, to my knowledge, of preventing bruises. Other than the obvious, which would be to avoid activities that result in bruises. If you are a person who easily bruises, there may be some medical reasons that are underlying that you could ask your doctor about. To help with bruising after the fact, take Arnica Montana tablets and apply Arnica Montana cream (found in health food stores). It works wonders.


So many people are mentioning arnica I will try it out.

It's probably the heavy brush which causes the bruising, a hand isn't as likely to. She could give you hand spanking only, and you could see how that works.

cherry ... be careful about taking ASA to increase your bruising.  I went skiing last year & was taking ASA to prevent thrombus formation in my legs on the plane flight and daily for the cardiovascular health.  On my 1st day I fell & planted my butt on a chunk of ice & by that evening I was shocky w/ a loss of 1 unit of blood (about 350cc) into a hematoma that took 6 weeks to clear up.  You ARE right, it'll increase your bruising, but be careful what you ask for!

i'm with the "want marks" group...have even considered taking aspirin before we go out to play so that i would mark (but Daddy has gotten heavier handed so i am buising some, though he did tell me the other day that i am just not a marker...and there i was all happy with my marks *Hmmph* i guess in comparison they weren't much)



WOW thank you for letting me know....it just stinks cause it takes sooo much for soooo little in marks :( But i will be advised.

Potasium... specifically, eating some banannas will help cause the bruises to fade. Also, vitamin D and E.

You can load up beforehand, but I don't think it will help prevent them. One thing you might avoid, stay away from asperin for several days before playing, if you can. It's an anticoagulant, and will cause the bruising to become worse. (You weren't taking asperin before this scene you had the bruising with, were you?) That's part of the reason asperin is reccommended for preventing heart attacks...





To disspell a little myth... yes, bananas contain potassium, but there are many other foods that contain more potassium per serving than bananas.  I have never heard of potassium helping with bruising.  Would you please share with us where you found that information?

I met a very nice mistress, and she really enjoyed giving me OTK spankings. We both want to do it again.

The problem is that her spanking left me some bad bruises. She felt sort of bad about it, and so did I because I don't want to have big ugly bruises on my butt.

She used both her hand and a heavy hairbrush.

Can any of you give us some advice on how to enjoy spanking without severe bruising? Perhaps things she can do different, and perhaps things I can do before and after to improve the situation?





I am sure there are many subs out there who , like my lil1, are shaking there heads in wonder... thinking  what is the issue......for she, like many, after a session run to the mirror to check and see if there are any wonderful bruises.....

The issue, if you read the OP's profile, is that he is married and has to be 'discreete' ...

I do agree with the poster who mentioned Tiger Balm.  It works well. 
Avoid taking aspirin if you can help it.  Not sure about all the medical "hows and whys" but in my experience, it makes the bruises much more intense.

Good luck!

Status: offline 		Some clarifications: Aspirin is definitely to be avoided, it is an anticoagulant ie it slows down blood clotting (often described as "thinning the blood"), so therefore more blood can leak into the tissues = bruise! Arnica tablets are not recommended for many people, there are risks ... but arnica creams and ointments appear to be safe and very effective at minimising and treating bruises. If you want to go more medical and less natural, try Lasonil or Hirudoid creams on the bruises. Tiger Balm can also be good but is less discreet as it has a strong smell!

In terms of prevention rather than cure, Mistress should firstly inspect the area carefully for blemishes, pimples, prominent veins etc ... they should be avoided if at all possible. Then She should warm you up very slowly with gentle taps gradually increasing in intensity, then spank carefully, distributing the strokes evenly over the skin surface of both buttocks so that no one area cops too much of a hiding or too many strokes in succession. If She soothes over the area after every few strokes it not only makes the whole thing more erotic (and sends some subs much deeper and faster into space) it also seems to help the skin deal with the impacts. Spank to a nice even warmth and redness. If any weals or welts (swollen or discoloured areas) appear, avoid them or cease the spanking and move on to some other activity. Of course, whether or not She CHOOSES to follow this advice is entirely up to Her ... but I have found it pretty reliable in terms of producing satisfied Domme and subs whose redness fades by the end of the session and who go home with barely a mark! I always advise doing impact play early on in the session so the skin reaction can be observed while other play is continuing ... and to err on the side of caution with skin You don't know yet.

Good luck to you OP and your Mistress!

Status: offline 		How to stop bruising? stop doing what causes the bruises? seriously though....there are a somethings you can do to speed up the healing, but if you like what's bieng done to cause the bruising, you're just going to have to deal with it....actions have reactions, whether they be positive (rewards) or negative (consequesences)...they happen....you can't stop them by ordering them to stop...if you want the reactions to stop, stop the actions...anyway...speeding up healing....

a warm, not hot bath the same night with a cup or two of apple cider vinegar in it will help stop the bruising from blooming so much and speed up healing from what does bloom....

fancy shmancy old sports injury aid - epsom salts...not sure if they help the appearance of bruises, but they sure do help with the pain...

and finally, i have heard people talk about arnica over and over, and i have personally used it for relaxing muscles (which goes along with the epsom salts), but never for reducing bruising, and yes i can see theoretically how it would work on the same principle, but has anyone ever had first hand experience with it reducing bruising?

Actually I was taking rather large doses of aspirin for a knee injury. That may have been the reason. Now that I'm off the aspirin perhaps we wouldn't have the bruising problem.



Bingo! Aspirin is a blood thinner, that's why people at high risk for stroke and heart attacks are prescribed half an aspirin daily, to thin the blood and prevent it from clotting. And bruising is subdermal bleeding into the area.
