What's in a Name?
The Don't Stop massage candle is nice; pretty container which can be reused, a lid to snuff the candle, a pour spout to make application easy, a light, snickerdoodley sort of scent and a long burn time. Made from natural oils and soy wax, it's a quality candle that just doesn't perform well for massage, turning too waxy and drying too quickly.Published: June 11, 2010
Pros:
Light, pleasant scent, beautiful container, very feminine
Cons:
Performs poorly as a massage aid

This candle, while it really, really, really, really, realllyyy doesn't work as a massage candle, is just awesome to burn for its scent.
I am absolutely in love with the subtle aroma and combination of scents and would gladly buy another one if they were available for sale.
While it will definitely be a disappointment to anyone wanting to use it as a massage tool, it'll be a nice indulgence for the candle lover. And the jar is too cute for words!
I wonder if I prayed to the EF gods really hard if they'd stock it?

Massage Candles-Yes?No?Worth the price?
-
Im not really one for the whole "hot wax" foreplay, but I really love the massage benefits because of my muscle/joint pains and fibromyalgia issues. $35 seems like a lot to spend on this candle, but I LOVE the look and it seems to be a decent size. What do you think? Are there better ones out there? Which is your favorite? What would you suggest?

While I don't have that specific candle, we have tried others and we really enjoy using them. My partner absolutely loves the heat of the oil. I know he would say it's worth it. I personally think $35 is a bit much, but since my partner loves it so much, I let him buy it lol!
There are other candles that are decent for lower prices if you wanted to try one out. Try searching the Tantric Candle. We tried that one and it was pretty fantastic. -
The JimmyJane candles are about the best as far as what you get and the massage that you can get from the oil. There are a lot of candles that would be good for short massages where you're basically just rubbing the oil in as a moisturizer, but for most longer massages where the oil starts out as a candle JimmyJane Afterglows are probably going to be recommended the most. The Tantric candle that sktb0007 recommends is a good one too, and cheaper than the Afterglows.

Thank you for viewing Don't stop massage candle – massage candles review page!
I've been going back and forth on this one for a while, and honestly I still am. Mostly because I just can't seem to justify spending that much on just a candle. But your review was fantastic
I have a hard time with the price too - maybe if it worked better for massages
I'll pray to the gods too. I always wanted to try this.
Maybe if we sacrifice a toy in their honor??
Aww too bad it's not good for a massage! Thanks for the review.
Great review!
