The short answer is ‘yes.’ But like anything else, with proper preparation, you can minimize the mess and still use this highly regarded lubricant. Wearing a massage holster with refillable pump bottles brings the product closer to both you and your client and minimizes dripping. Remember...less is more. A small amount of oil goes a long way; using a small refillable pump bottle will let you control the amount of product you dispense. Simply spread the oil in your hands rather than directly to the client’s skin to avoid overuse. Have older towels nearby in case of a spill or overpour. And lastly be prepared to provide your client with either cloths or towels to further clean up after the service. A conveniently placed hamper or trash can will ensure the proper disposal of any messy materials.
