About Edible Body Paint

About Edible Body Paint


Edible body paint is sold and distributed through novelty stores in malls and online through direct retailers of adult theme gifts. This novelty item comes in many delectable flavors, like cherry, strawberry, banana and chocolate. Many couples use it for sensual stimulation in the bedroom. The use of edible paint applied with soft and continuous brush strokes on specific erogenous zones can arouse your partner.


Where to Get It


You can find edible body paints from an array of manufacturers at novelty adult stores, such as Spencer's, normally located in your local mall. Some major lingerie chains, such as Frederick's of Hollywood, also carry it. If you can't find edible body paint in stores, try searching online. A few websites are provided in the Resources section. There are also direct mailing providers that feature edible paints in private order catalogs, like Adam & Eve.


How Much It Costs


Edible body paints are fairly inexpensive. They usually range from $5 to $10 per 4 oz. jar, or $15 to $40 for a set that includes a variety of flavors in 4 separate 2 oz. jars.


Apply


When buying the paint in sets, there is usually a small paint brush for application included in the package. However, if you buy an individual jar and there isn't a brush provided, you can use your fingers to apply the paint or buy a small brush if you prefer. Be creative.


Other Options


Not all body paint is sold as a novelty. Some of the fruits and foods in your kitchen can qualify as edible paint. Strawberries and cherries have a tendency to leave a red tint on the skin. Just finely crush fruit in a small bowl, and smear on body parts. Or you can use ordinary chocolate syrup as a substitute for novelty chocolate-flavored edible body paints.


Heating the Paint


Heating the edible paint in the microwave for 15 to 30 seconds before application is an added bonus for both you and your partner. Be careful to test the temperature of the solution on the wrist before applying to other more sensitive areas of the body.
