Full Class Description

Mumification is about more than being wrapped up tight — it’s about trust, surrender, sensation, and stillness. In Wrapped, Trapped, & Wagging: Mumification 101, Ruff Pup guides you through the foundations of safe, intentional mumification play with a focus on connection, control, and care.

This beginner-friendly class is designed for curious pups, handlers, and kinksters who want to explore immobilization in a way that is grounded, informed, and deeply satisfying — whether your goal is sensory deprivation, headspace, helplessness, or calm containment.

What We’ll Cover

Foundations & Safety First

  • Consent, negotiation, and expectation setting
  • Physical and psychological considerations
  • Breathing, circulation, heat, and panic awareness
  • When not to mummify someone

Materials & Methods

We’ll break down common mumification materials, including:

  • Vet Wrap: breathable, flexible, pup-friendly, and great for beginners.
  • Plastic Wrap (Saran Wrap): smooth, tight, and excellent for compression and sensory isolation.
  • Tape (including duct tape): firm restraint, structural containment, and advanced control.

You’ll learn the benefits, limitations, risks, and ideal use cases for each — and how combining materials can change the experience.

Emergency Extraction & Safety Supplies

  • Safety shears vs. knives (and why it matters)
  • Where to cut and where never to cut
  • Planning exits before you ever wrap
  • Monitoring your sub while immobilized

Aftercare & Re-entry

  • Supporting circulation, temperature, and grounding after release
  • Emotional aftercare for deep surrender scenes
  • Check-ins, cuddles, water, and decompression
  • Helping your pup or sub feel safe, seen, and celebrated

Ruff Pup’s Approach

This class is taught through a Ruff Pup lens: playful, embodied, consent-forward, and rooted in care. Mumification isn’t about pushing limits for shock value — it’s about intentional containment, shared trust, and letting someone fully let go.
