Candles Buying Guide
Massage candles are the core of this range, and the big names here are Earthly Body and Kama Sutra, with Shunga and Sensuva adding more scented options. A massage candle is made to melt into a warm pool you pour over skin, so look for one described as a massage candle rather than a decorative pillar candle. Scent is the main difference between most options, so pick one you will enjoy smelling for the whole session.
The novelty side is about the joke as much as the use. Wanna Bone, Ride a Broom and I Wanna Suck all come in pumpkin spice massage candle versions, while I Hate Parties Candle and the Shibari Get Lucky Blow Me Penis Candle lean more playful. Gift sets such as the Sex Magnet set and the Candle Trio Dreamsicle Skinny Dip Polynesia suit someone who wants several scents at once. The Master Series Glow Pour Drip Candle Set is blacklight reactive, so it suits a dim room.
If you are buying for yourself or a partner for the first time, start with one massage candle in a scent you already like instead of a large set. Keep a towel nearby, since the wax pools and drips, and set up the room before you light the candle so you are not rushing afterward. Gift sets make sense once you know which scents and styles you both enjoy.
Candles FAQ
- What is a massage candle used for?
- A massage candle is designed to melt into a warm pool of wax that can be poured over the skin during a massage. The wax is usually scented and is meant for playful, sensual massage between partners. Look for the massage candle label rather than a decorative candle, since the two are made for different uses.
- Which brands make the massage candles on this page?
- Earthly Body and Kama Sutra supply many of the massage candles here, and Shunga, Sensuva, XR Brands, HOTT Products, Little Genie and Icon Brands add more options. Brands differ mostly in scent range, wax style and whether a candle is sold alone or in a set, so compare the scent and type before choosing.
- How should I choose a pumpkin spice candle?
- Pumpkin spice candles are scented, so the deciding factor is whether you like the smell enough to enjoy it in a warm, slow session. Check that the candle is labeled as a massage candle if you want to use it on skin, and go for a standard candle if you only want the scent in the room.
