I ordered the Cucumber Melon Afterglow Massage Candle along with the Contour M Massager and the Contour I + Beyond Euphoric Sensory Set (we also got the BSwish BWarm Massage Candle ) and I promptly put them all on the shelf. Turns out, finding time to give your lover a massage is not easy around the holidays. Fortunately the world decided to stand still for us on a Friday evening. We took advantage and spent a few quality hours in front of our fireplace rediscovering each other’s touch.

Using the Afterglow massage is quite easy. Simply light the candle and let it burn for at least five minutes. What you want is for a melt pool to form that contains a sufficient amount of massage oil. Once you have melted enough oil, blow out the candle and drip it on your lovers’ skin. Because the waxes used in the Afterglow have a very low melting point, the oil will be perfectly warmed to relax and soothe your lover without burning them. (Caveat: don’t order in the dog days of summer unless you are home to receive your order….also be sure to store away from sources of heat.) The scent of the Cucumber Melon is light and refreshing and wafted into the air. On Mrs. Peg’s skin it lingered deliciously for hours. As a massage oil it performs wonderfully. The slip is just wonderful, it absorbs slowly, and it leaves your lover’s skin soft, supple, and hydrated.

Ingredients include: soybean oil, shea butter, palmarosa oil, jojoba oil, aloe vera, and vitamin E. The candle itself is 4.5 ounces and should burn for 32 hours, except for the fact that you are pouring the fuel all over your lover.

The Afterglow Massage Candle comes in a holder that is about 2.5 inches in all dimensions. Like much of the rest of the JimmyJane line, it is made from a simple white porcelain that is glazed. One corner of the cube-like holder is pulled in to create a little spout. This is perfect for pouring the warmed oil onto your lover’s skin. One thing about the glaze that should be noted is that it is slippery when trying to hold it with oiled hands. I highly recommend keeping your pinky finger under it and holding the corners adjacent to the spout while pouring. This ensures that the Afterglow will not slip out of your hands.

The Afterglow Massage Candle and the Contour M Massager are also available from Eden Fantasys as the Knead Me Massage Set for $5 less than you pay for them individually. Unfortunately, at the time of order, the set was out of stock.

We would definitely recommend this to others without qualification. It is a great product that performs perfectly for its intended purpose.

This is a great product. Note the period at the end of that statement. There really isn't much more to say about it other than it makes a great gift.
