Massage Candles

Difference between regular and massage candles

If you're wondering why to buy a massage candle in an erotic store when you have plenty at home, let us warn you that not every candle is suitable for contact with the skin, as some contain additional dyes, scents, and other chemicals.

Massage candles contain wax that is safe for the skin, so they are more suitable for use, as they will not cause burns to the skin. Typically, they are made from soy or beeswax (which melt around 38.8 °C, just slightly above average body temperature), mixed with cocoa or shea butter, jojoba oil, and essential oils. Since the melting point of these candles is low, they are suitable for massage as the body temperature will keep the wax melted. Unlike regular paraffin wax candles, the massage candle will melt into an oil, which is excellent for use in erotic massage.

Why massage candles?

You might be wondering why even use massage candles. Candles are very useful in foreplay, as you can give your partner an erotic massage and thus warm them up for intercourse. You can read more about why it's worth taking the time for foreplay here.

With massage and sensual touches, we can increase relaxation, intimacy, and arousal. And using massage candles in this activity adds a special touch. Our skin is an important sensory organ, so touches and massages enhance pleasure, and it's also a great way to connect with your partner and boost sexual energy.

It's good to be well-informed about how to perform erotic massage before doing it. Check out various massage techniques and how to prepare the space (and thus a good atmosphere). This will increase the chances that your partner will enjoy the touches. If you are interested in more details on how to start with the massage, you can read the article Sensual Massage for Couples: How to Start? on our blog. If you wish, you can also use a blindfold during the massage, as it will enhance other senses and take the massage to another level.

Why is it worth considering incorporating erotic massage into your sexuality? Because it has a bunch of positive effects. The first is the effect of relaxation, which causes stress levels to decrease. It also increases libido, which is beneficial for those facing challenges in this area. With touches, arousal is also increased, which is associated with better sexual relations. Of course, we can't forget about the mutual connection of partners in this activity. In the person being massaged, both blood circulation and lymphatic system function will improve.

However, there are also candles that are not meant for massage, but rather for causing a burning pain when a drop of wax falls on the skin. You can recognize them by their upright shape.

How to use massage candles?

Let the candle burn evenly for 30 minutes

When starting to use a massage candle, it's important to let it burn so that the wax becomes liquid across the entire top surface. If only part of the candle is melted, pouring the wax on your partner will be difficult, as there will be too much wax on one side of the candle and too little on the other. To avoid this, we recommend that you wait 30 minutes after lighting the candle and let the wax melt evenly to the edges of the candle container. During this, make sure that the candle is on a flat surface and away from flammable objects.

Extinguish the candle before using the wax

To make pouring the wax easier, extinguish the candle flame. The wax melts into a massage oil, which remains liquid for about 30 minutes, so there is enough time to use it.

Massage and communication

After you've dripped the wax onto your partner's skin, evenly apply the oil with your hands to other parts of the body. Gently rub the oil in, so it absorbs into the skin. Meanwhile, communicate with your partner and ask if they like these movements. With consent, you can massage various body parts: neck, arms, legs, etc. To make the massage even more pleasant, pay attention to your partner's erogenous zones: thighs, neck, chest, etc.

Do not introduce wax into the body

In no case should you introduce wax into the body. This means not dripping wax into the vagina, as it can cause itching and/or infection. Massage oil is not a lubricant and should not be introduced into the body in this way.

Caution with condoms

When using massage candles and consequently the oil that is formed when the candle is lit, care must be taken with the use of latex condoms. Oil can destroy latex, causing the condom to burst or tear. This reduces the reliability of the condom during intercourse, thus preventing sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy.

Removing wax

Massage oil contains vitamins, beneficial for the skin. After the massage or play, you can let the oil absorb into the skin, thereby moisturizing and nourishing it. If the oil feels too greasy, however, jump in the shower and remove it with soap.

Different scents

There are many types of massage candles available, with different scents. In our selection, you can find candles with the scent of roses, vanilla, caramel, coconut, pineapple, etc. Some candles are designed in a way that makes applying wax really simple.
