Smells yummy :P
Great candle for use as massage oil. I like to bring it along with me when we go to hotels! It makes an excellent gift for couples.Published: August 13, 2008
Pros:
Smells good, works effectively, not greasy.
Cons:
none
I got this candle for free because I had purchased erotic toys and got an extra free one for having spent a certain amount of money on toys.
My candle is watermelon scented rather than a mixture of fruit smells. I chose this one over the lavander because I like fruity smells rather than floury smells. I found that lavander (for the record) smelled true to its name but wasn't over empowering. All the same I decided to go with watermelon.
I love this candle for three reasons. I am a candle addict, it can be used safely as massage oil and it smells soooooo gooood. I keep my candle on my bedside table. It is contained in a tin container with a cover but I always keep the cover off. The smell of the candle, even when it isn't lit propagates through our flat!
As a massage oil it works nicely but not as much as an actual oil. But for the sake of the argument I think it may be the greatest wax to oil candle on the market. The candle comes with a small plastic spoon with which one can scoop up some melted oil in order to use on as massage oil. If the candle is tipped so that the oil dribbles directly onto someones back it is very warm but it doesn't burn. So for those into playing with warm wax, this candle is less hardcore.
It takes a lot of melted wax (which takes about 20 minutes to melt so be prepared in advance if you want to use it)to do a full body massage. Even only on my partners back it took me 5 spoonful's of oil. It spread well across the skin and didn't get absorbed too quickly. It has a smooth texture without being waxy or greasy. The excess oil I always wipe off with a dry towel I keep at hand.
For those who like to taste everything I haven't tasted this oil candle since it is not edible. But quite frankly I dont feel comfortable rubbing up on someone that has been rubbed down with massage oil so I never accidentally ate massage oil.
It smells great, feels great on the skin (after being massaged with this you smell good for the whole day!) and it makes the perfect gift for a couple whatever the sexual orientation! If you get this massage candle I hope you enjoy it as much as my lover and I do!

Follow-up commentary
26 months after original review
I don't use it so much for massages anymore. I really love the smell and use it mostly to make my room smell nice. But it doesn't make it any less better for massages though. I think I prefer to use massage oil rather than wait for the candle to burn before using the oil/wax.

What is your favorite flavour?

I am not sure what flavour to purchase for the Shunga massage candle, fruit just seems so non-descriptive, so I figured who better to ask then everyone here.

Why is there a spoon with a candle. Is it to scoop up hot wax?
-
Seriously? It states it's purpose in the overview. Yes, you can spoon it. Can ya be a lil more descriptive in your titles please.

Quote: Why is there a spoon with a candle. Is it to scoop up hot wax?The wax melts into a massage oil. The spoon is to scoop out the warm oil for use. I love massage candles, they are SO awesome.

Thank you for viewing Shunga massage candle review page!
I think these are the best massage candles I've tried as well, and I've tried at least half a dozen different types.
They are so romantic and inovative!
I've never tried a candle that melted into massage oil but I'm thinking I should now.
Neat!
I want to try this so bad!
Honestly, it is very worth it Lauren you should definitely try it out
Have you tried other candles? This one sounds quite promising!
Actually, no I haven't but I have read some reviews of Dame Demi on other massage candles and they helped me compare this candle to other products she's tried. She is so descriptive and informative in her reviews I often rely on her jusdgement when I make purchases.
Wow, I am impressed how long this candle has lasted you!
cool
Thank you for the review!
Great Review. I want to try the candle.
nice review-i love candles
