Any type of candles are fine, but test them on your bottom (partner) before using them during play. I've had the case where I used a candle that should have been fine during a scene and it was too painful for my girl to handle. It happens. Just get candles that you like the color of. I personally like pillar candles because they can be poured. Taper candles just drip immediately, which can be more painful because the wax is just from the flame.

Generally, paraffin has a lower burning temperature, and soy or beeswax candles have a higher temperature. It is better to choose what you think you will enjoy using and trying it on your partner to get a feel for what temperatures they can handle. Everyone is different.

I've always been advised to stay away from scented, glitter and beeswax candles. The more things that are added to the candle, the higher the burning temp. Get the most boring and cheap candles you can find at vanilla places. The dollar store has white pillar ones in glass that are very cool compared to the red and white taper ones I got from the craft store.

I've always wondered about that, thanks!

My Mistress will occasionally use candles during playtime... She likes to use massage candles - they are meant to be lit temporarily in order to warm up the wax before pooling up and being applied to the body after cooling down. When she uses them in the bedroom, however, she tends to keep the candle lit throughout in order to keep it nice and warm. I'm not a huge fan personally, but she definitely gets a kick out of it and so I guess I don't really have a choice lol.

I also recommend the Jesus candles their easy to draw on the body with, soy base and cheap
