How to Give a Hickey Without Pain & Cover It Up

Introduction

A hickey, also known as a love bite or kiss mark, is a temporary bruise caused by suction on the skin. Often given in the heat of the moment, hickeys are a sign of passion and affection. However, they can sometimes lead to discomfort, unwanted attention, or even minor health risks.

In this guide, we’ll cover how to give a hickey without pain, how to care for it, and methods to speed up healing. We'll also address common concerns like whether hickeys are dangerous and provide tips for covering them up.

How to Give a Hickey Without Pain

If you want to give a hickey that’s pleasurable rather than painful, follow these steps:

Choose the Right Spot

The neck is the most common area, but other sensitive spots like the shoulder or collarbone work well.

• Avoid areas with thin skin or visible blood vessels.

• Consider using EjaGuard Lubricants for smoother, more pleasurable experiences.

Build Up to It

Start with gentle kisses and nibbles to build anticipation.

• Gradually apply more suction to create the hickey.

Use Gentle Pressure

Form an ‘O’ shape with your lips and suck lightly for 20 to 30 seconds.

• Adjust your pressure to avoid discomfort.

Communicate

• Check in with your partner to ensure it’s a pleasurable experience.

Maintaining open communication is essential for enjoyable and consensual experiences. You can also explore the EjaGuard Blog for relationship tips and sexual wellness advice.

Monitor the Skin

• Stop if the skin turns dark purple or the area becomes painful.

Are Hickeys Dangerous?

While hickeys are generally harmless, they involve breaking tiny blood vessels under the skin. In rare cases, they can pose risks.

• Blood Clots: Excessive suction may lead to clotting issues. There are isolated reports of blood clots traveling to the brain, although these are extremely rare. (Learn more about this from reputable sources like the Mayo Clinic for medical insights.)

• Carotid Artery Injury: Applying strong pressure on the neck can damage the carotid artery, leading to serious health complications.

• Skin Sensitivity: Those with sensitive skin may experience prolonged bruising or irritation.

To minimize risks:

• Avoid giving hickeys on or near major blood vessels.

• Use light suction instead of aggressive pressure.

• If your partner has a history of clotting disorders, skip the hickey.

How Long Do Hickeys Last?

Hickeys typically last between 5 to 12 days, but this can vary based on several factors.

• Light Hickeys: Fade within 3 to 5 days.

• Dark Purple or Severe Hickeys: May last up to 2 weeks.

How to Heal a Hickey Faster

Speed up the healing process with these remedies:

Cold Compress (First 48 Hours)

• Apply an ice pack wrapped in a cloth for 10-15 minutes.

Massage the Area

• After 48 hours, gently massage the hickey to stimulate blood flow.

• Use a circular motion with clean fingers.

Apply Heat

• Use a warm compress or heated towel on the hickey.

• Do this two to three times a day to improve circulation.

Topical Treatments

• Aloe Vera: Soothes the skin and reduces inflammation.

• Vitamin K Cream: Promotes faster blood clot breakdown.

• Arnica Gel: Effective for reducing bruises.

Consider incorporating EjaGuard's Lubricants with aloe vera for a cooling and calming effect on sensitive skin.
