How did I select and test these massage candles?
Researching the best sex candles is a little different than looking for the best vibrators or clit suckers. Instead of looking at battery life or vibration quality, I was researching which candles use body-safe, skin-nourishing ingredients and which ones have the most delicious scents.
I also looked out for candles with added extras, such as easy pour spouts or cute designs that would make a lovely gift.
I then gathered the very best in each category and gave each sex candle an overall Bedbible review, as well as rating it on our usual metrics of design, ease of use and quality.
What is Wax Play?
Wax play is a form of temperature play that involves dripping melted wax or oil onto your or your partner’s skin. It can be part of sensual foreplay or more intense BDSM play. Many find the exhilaration of waiting for the wax to hit their skin and knowing they are doing something a little dangerous very exciting! The physical sensation also puts your senses into high alert.
Massage Candles vs. Wax Play Candles
- Massage candles are usually made from a combination of soy wax and skin nourishing oils. They have a lower melting point, making them great for beginners. Once melted, they turn into an oil that you can massage into the skin.
- Wax play/drip candles are usually made from paraffin which has a higher melt point than soy wax, meaning the wax will be hotter. Unlike massage candles, the paraffin doesn’t absorb into the skin but hardens into a layer you can enjoy peeling off. You can also use wax play candles to paint patterns on your partner’s body. These candles are used more in BDSM play.
Why You Shouldn’t Use Regular Candles for Wax Play
You might be tempted to use any candle you can find, but I really don’t recommend it! Massage candles and wax play candles are designed to have a melting point and materials that are safe to use on your skin, meaning there is a much lower risk of burns or reactions. Regular candles can have a much higher melting point which can quickly lead to burns.

Infused with six skin-softening essential oils, this sweet cherry massage candles will excite your sense and leave you moisturised and relaxed!
The perfect to warm up for a fiery night in, the candle melts into oil that you can enjoy massaging into each other’s bodies.
And when you are finished playing, simply put the lid on the tin and your candle will harden, ready for next time!
Pros
- ✅ Cheap way to try massage candles
- ✅ Uses moisturising oils
- ✅ Edible
Cons
- ❌ Smell too strong for some
- ❌ Cherry scent smells artificial
My verdict
Cheap, cheerful, cherry! While this isn’t the most luxurious candle in the review, it’s still a good quality candle with skin nourishing ingredients that certainly gets the job done!
The scent is quite strong and some dislike the artificial cherry fragrance, so you’ll need to consider if that’s something that will hinder your experience. Although this candle is technically edible, as with most candles, I wouldn’t expect it to taste particularly delicious!
This is a great option if you are on a budget or just want to try massage candles before spending a little more on some better quality options.

While the jury is still out on whether pheromones can influence our arousal levels, just the candle in itself is bound to get you and your partner hot and bothered.
This is another candle for those that love a sweet scent. I also really like the packaging and think this would make a really lovely gift for a partner or close friend.

If you love the idea of a slight sting as the hot wax hits your skin, then these Japanese Hot Wax Drip Candles from Doc Johnson are the ones for you!
These wax play candles are made from paraffin, which has a higher melt point than the soy wax used in massage candles while still being body safe candles.
Enjoy dripping the colorful wax onto your partners body and letting it solidify on their skin!
Pros
- ✅ Hotter wax than a massage candle
- ✅ Great for BDSM play
- ✅ Set of three colors
Cons
- ❌ Easier to burn the skin than massage candle
- ❌ Can get messy
My verdict
These wax play candles are definitely for the more experienced users out there. The higher melt point on the paraffin wax means you are playing with hotter temperatures than a massage candle, meaning you will get a slight sting as the wax drips on you.
This also means you will have to be much more careful when using them by checking the temperature and always dripping a good distance from the body.
But if you are ready for a little more intense sensations and love the idea of decorating your partner’s body, these erotic candles are great value for money.

How to practice wax play safely
Of course playing with hot or warm wax comes with some element of risk, so it’s important to educate yourself on the potential risks and how to minimise them before getting started. Here some essential safety rules to follow when engaging in any kind of wax play.
For even more detailed instructions check out my post with everything you need to know about wax play.
Establish consent, set boundaries, and choose a safety word
Before you even light the candle, you need to make sure you have enthusiastic consent from your partner. You should also discuss your boundaries, such as where you do and don’t want wax to be dripped. On top of that, you should agree on a safeword that will stop play immediately if either partner becomes injured, uncomfortable, or overwhelmed.
Prepare your space
Whether you are using a massage candle or drip candles, it can get messy, so you’ll want to protect whichever surface you are using. You could use from old towels or a sex blanket, like the Liberator Fascinator Throw. It’s also a good idea to have a towel or two handy and remove any loose flammable materials from the area.
Have some first aid essentials on stand-by
Prepare a simple first aid kit, some cool (but not cold) water to use in case of burns, and something to put out any accidental fires.
Let your candle melt
Enjoy some foreplay while you let your candle melt and build up a pool of wax. If your candle is in a container, like a massage candle, you should let it melt all the way across to prevent your candle from tunneling.
Blow out your flame
Before dripping wax on your partner, blow out the flame to minimise the risk of burning your hand or accidentally starting a fire.
Test the temperature first
Test the temperature of the wax on your own skin before dripping it onto your partner.
Avoid the face, head, and genitals
You should never drip wax onto the face, head, or directly onto or into the genitals as there is a high risk of injury. It’s best to start with a larger, less sensitive area such as the back or thighs.
Drip from a height
This is especially important with paraffin drip candles that have a hotter melt point than massage candles as dripping from a higher height gives the wax time to cool slightly before it hits the skin.
Enjoy some aftercare
Whether you have enjoyed a sensual massage or some more intense BDSM wax play, aftercare is the perfect way to ease out of it. Rub the oils into your skin or remove the hardened wax and apply some moisturising lotion. You can also get cosy in a blanket and have something to eat or drink.
How to use sex candles
How you use your sex candle will depend on which type of candle you have. Massage candles made with soy wax and other skin-nourishing oils will melt a lower temperature into an oil and are best suited to a sensual massage and will soak into the skin. Paraffin candles have a higher melt point and harden on your skin, making them great for BDSM play.
Here’s how to enjoy each type.
Massage candle
Allow a pool of melted wax to collect in the candle, and blow out the flame before dripping and drizzling the oil onto your partner’s body. You can start with their back, shoulders, and back of the legs before having them roll over to give the front of their body some loving. Remember, that oil can degrade condoms, so you might need to clean up if you plan on having sex with a condom after your massage. You shower after using a massage candle or simply let the nourishing oils sink into your skin.
Get more in depth instructions in our post all about how to give a sexy massage.
Drip candle
Again, let your candle melt so you have some wax pooled at the top and then you can explore dripping the wax onto your partner’s body. You should drip the wax from around 10- 15 inches away from your partner’s body.
- You can drip it slowly or let it drizzle.
- For extra tingly sensations, blow on the wax to make it harden faster.
- You can also explore peeling the wax off.
How to clean massage candles
To keep your jar looking nice and stop it from getting slippery, you should wipe it down with a damp cloth after every use. You should also be careful not to get wax or oil onto anything valuable while using your sex candle as it can stain. It's a good idea to put an old sheet, towel, or sex blanket down before playing.
materials
Soft plastic, hard plastic, jelly, rubber, Cyberskin are all porous materials, meaning that small particles and bacteria can penetrate the surface. This makes it impossible to completely clean these types of materials.
Therefore, it is recommended that you use a condom with these types of toys, especially if you are sharing them. Clean these toys with mild soapy water and dry gently with a towel. These materials are more easily damaged, so be sure to be gentle and make sure your toys are completely dry before storing.
materials
Silicone, glass, stainless steel and some hard plastics can all be washed using a mild soap (like you would use on your body) and warm water. Just be careful if your toy contains electrical parts.
Silicone and stainless steel toys without any electrical parts can also be boiled for sterilisation.
components
If your toys contain electrical components, be extra careful when cleaning them and always check the instructions provided with the toy. You can use a gentle cloth and soap to wipe or sex toy cleaner or cleaning wipe to down your toy, making sure that no water comes into contact with the electrical parts.
FAQ
What is a sex candle?
Sex candles are a great tool for exploring temperature play. There are two main types: massage candles that melt into warm oil and drip candles. Both create a sensual warmth that's sure to turn the heat up in the bedroom! You should only ever use purpose-made sex candles as regular candles have a high melt point and, therefore, a greater risk of burns.
