Wax play and massage candles 101: a beginnerโ€™s guide to LBDO Melt

Wax play and massage candles 101: a beginnerโ€™s guide to LBDO Melt

If youโ€™ve ever been curious about trying wax play or adding a massage candle to your intimate moments, youโ€™re not alone. Itโ€™s an experience that heightens the senses and brings something fresh to touch, all while encouraging relaxation and connection. Whether youโ€™re new to this or just want to understand the basics, weโ€™re here to break down wax play and why massage candles, like LBDO Melt, make a perfect introduction.

What is wax play?

Wax play is the art of dripping warm, melted wax onto the skin as a form of sensation play. Itโ€™s often associated with BDSM but can be enjoyed by anyone looking to explore new sensations. The key is temperature controlโ€”massage candles are designed to melt at a lower temperature than standard candles, ensuring a safe and pleasurable experience.

Why massage candles are different

A massage candle isnโ€™t your everyday candle. Itโ€™s crafted from body-safe, skin-nourishing ingredients that melt into a luxurious, warm massage oil. Regular candles, by contrast, burn at higher temperatures and often contain chemicals that arenโ€™t skin-friendly. LBDO Melt, made with all-natural shea butter and macadamia oil, is designed with your body in mindโ€”it melts at a safe temperature, leaving a moisturising, silky finish that makes your skin feel incredibly soft.

The benefits of wax play and massage candles

  1. Heightened sensation: Wax play engages the senses like nothing else. The warmth of the wax creates a delightful contrast on cooler areas of the skin, resulting in a sensory experience thatโ€™s both soothing and arousing.
  2. Deep relaxation: Massage candles donโ€™t just feel goodโ€”they help release tension. As the wax melts into oil, it can be used to glide over the body, promoting relaxation and a sense of calm.
  3. Mindful connection: Wax play is all about trust and communication. When shared with a partner, it can deepen both physical and emotional connection.
  4. Skin nourishment: LBDO Meltโ€™s blend of shea butter and macadamia oil helps moisturise and nourish the skin. As the candle melts, it becomes a rich, skin-friendly oil that enhances your skinโ€™s softness and glow.

How to use LBDO Melt for wax play

  1. Prep your space: Create a cosy environment. Use towels or sheets to protect your surfaces, and have a safe, steady spot for the candle.
  2. Light the candle: Let LBDO Melt burn for about 10-15 minutes to allow enough wax to melt and pool. During this time, enjoy its fragrance and soft glow.
  3. Test the temperature: Before applying, blow out the candle and check the temperature by dripping a small amount on the inside of your wrist. It should feel warm but not hot. If itโ€™s too warm, let the candle cool for a moment.
  4. Apply the wax: Slowly drizzle the melted wax from a few inches above your partnerโ€™s skin, focusing on areas like the back, shoulders, or thighs. Be mindful of sensitive areas and avoid the face, eyes, and any broken skin.
  5. Massage: Once the wax is on the skin, use your hands to massage it in, creating a soothing and sensual experience. Take your time and keep communicating with your partner to ensure comfort.

Why LBDO Melt Is perfect for wax play

LBDO Melt was created to elevate sensory experiences safely and beautifully. Its all-natural ingredients, like shea butter and macadamia oil, melt into a warm, nourishing oil designed specifically for body use. Unlike traditional candles, which can reach temperatures that arenโ€™t skin-safe, LBDO Melt burns at a temperature ideal for sensation play. The blend of ingredients is chosen for its skin-loving properties, ensuring that each use leaves your skin soft, moisturised, and lightly scented. Plus, its minimalist design and subtle fragrance make it a luxurious addition to any intimate setting.

Safety tips

  • Communicate openly with your partner before, during, and after wax play to ensure youโ€™re both comfortable.
  • Test the wax temperature on a less sensitive area to avoid burns.
  • Use only massage candles like LBDO Melt for wax play.
  • Avoid applying wax to sensitive areas, including cuts, open skin, or extra-sensitive parts of the body.

Wax play is a versatile way to add something new to intimate moments, creating a unique sensory experience thatโ€™s both exciting and relaxing.
