This product is one we were very disappointed with. It worked well until the temperature of the oil dropped and that's where it lost its appeal. As it cooled the oil reverted back to its wax state and from there became a hassle. I do not believe there are other ways to use this unless you just wanted to use it as a regular candle.

I can completely see why it is recommended to heat oil before using it for a massage. The heat felt amazing, and it was very soothing.

I would have to say the scent was the best quality of this candle. The scent is very pleasant. It's very light and not at all overpowering. My partner becomes a big pile of mush underneath my hands.

While the massage was very relaxing and sensual, it more put her to sleep than aroused anybody. The clean up is rather messy and unwanted. I had to scrape the wax off her back once it cooled. (And let me tell ya, that was a very unpleasant experience.-k)

We were also very disappointed in the amount we received. For $4.99, we expected something a bit bigger, but instead got a container that is about the size of a half dollar coin in diameter, and a little over half an inch thick. The package says it's .5 oz.

All in all, this is one product we wouldn't recommend to many people, unless they're into the wax play. It's easy to pour, but hard to get off, especially once it's cooled. The amount we got was disappointing compared to the price. The only really positive thing that came out of this experience was we realized warmed oil is much better than room temp oil. (Or says the pile of mush on the bed).
