Earthly Body Skinny Dip 3-in-1 Massage Candle 192g

This was my first time using a massage candle, so I have nothing to compare it too, but it certainly went down well.

The candle gives off a very pleasant and relaxing smell that filled the room fairly quickly. As my OH was in the bath when this was lit there was plenty of time for the candle to burn and leave oil for the message.

The spoon that arrives with the candle could be useful. However, we decided to pour directly from the candle. The oil is warm without being too hot and a little really does go a long way.

The texture and smell really lend themselves to a relaxing atmosphere and my OH really enjoyed her massage. I didn't find this too messy and the residue rubs into the skin much like a moisturiser, so no need to shower afterwards.

Well worth the money and we will definitely be using again. Probably won't buy another one for a while, but that's purely because the 192g you get with this candle should last well and give plenty of uses.

Once again - thank you LH for your speedy delivery and the discreet packaging.

On opening this candle the scent is absolutely divine. It is a really sexy, musky, vanillary, sweet scent.

Although this candle is quite expensive it is really worth the price. The tin is a good size (holding 192 grams) and I must have used this about a dozen times and it still has about half of the wax left.

When you light this candle - wait about 5 to 10 mins to let the wax melt out to the edges - but whilst you are waiting for the oil you can enjoy the relaxing aroma in the room which will make you feel really in the mood for a massage - or anything else that takes your fancy!

The candle comes with a small plastic spoon to scoop out the oil when it has melted, which is a great idea. But if you want to just pour the oil onto your partner’s body you can do this too.

The oil itself is really thick and a little goes a long way - it leaves your skin feeling really soft and smooth - you could also use it as a body moisturiser if you are feeling a bit flamboyant.

Overall this a really lovely candle - well worth the price and very luxurious.

This was my first massage candle and I am so glad I bought it. Whilst I knew my body and joints respond very well to heat, and it can make me feel far more relaxed and help ease pain, I was a little concerned about what was as far as I was concerned 'HOT WAX' being dripped on me. Was this a bondage candle in disguise? Would I actually get burns and scars if it was applied wrong? Were the people that said they enjoyed it actually just unaware of how much they enjoyed pain? I like pain in the right environment but not for a relaxing massage! (Silly, I know, but it crossed my mind.) This candle allayed all my fears.

I'm in a long-distance relationship so the time I get to spend with my boyfriend always seems very special to me and I like to treat him. He particularly likes to be massaged so we invested in various items - including this. Because of this I didn't wait for this candle to heat up enough to create a good pool of oil for me to begin the massage, but just lit it at the beginning and used an Earthly Body massage oil until the candle had been going a while. I didn't time this I'm afraid, but I know I was well into the massage so I imagine it took at least fifteen minutes. It's worth keeping that in mind if you want to start with the massage with oil from this candle. Light it and then find something else to do - a few rounds of a sex game, perhaps.

This candle comes with a little plastic spoon that you can use to pour the wax over your partner and keep it under control. For a greater quantity I imagine you could pick up the candle - if it'd melted a lot, though, that might be quite messy - it really is a free flowing oil. When I started using the candle my hands and partner's back were already covered in oil, so I don't know how this feels on bare skin. However, the appreciative moan of delight I heard certainly confirmed the approval of the candle I had been expecting. It really isn't hot on the skin, it's pleasantly warm - and certainly much cooler than the Amazing Hot Heart Massagers Lovehoney also sells can be.

The candle produces an oil that really softens the skin. As I worked it into my boyfriend I could feel both his skin and my hands becoming more moisturised as well as really enjoying the relaxing heat. Areas we had thought were already softened from earlier massage seemed to destress further. The oil goes slightly into the skin when first applied but then a nice amount is left on the surface for you to massage rather than just quickly disappearing. This ensures your expensive candle won't be used too quickly (unless, like us, you can't get enough of the hot oil and want multiple reapplications - even so, the actual amount we used seemed very moderate and I think this candle could last us six months at least.) As you massage the oil does go into the skin and make it more soft and supple, as well as smell heavenly!

The scent of this candle is 'Skinny Dip,' which is a soft, slightly flowery smell that is absolutely gorgeous on the nose. I don't know whether it was just from the activity or from the smell, but I found myself being really drawn to it and finding my boyfriend exceptionally, exceptionally attractive (massage oil goggles? It's a new one on me too) and made me really want to sleep with him.

I used a cloth to gently remove any excess oil from his back when I had finished his massage and my boyfriend was left with the most touchable skin. He felt fantastic! I was jealous, but luckily he gave me a massage not long after. I can report that the oil is definitely not too hot and by the end of my (interrupted by lust) massage I felt amazing!
