This candle is great for massages and to use as a centerpiece or decor for your home. This also makes a wonderful gift for birthdays/weddings and anniversaries. The oil doesn't leave you greasy and its light and a little goes a long way.
Booty Parlor's Don't Stop Massage Candle is a great way to spice up a massage! This candle melts at a low temperature and has a pour spout for easy pouring. The low temperature ensures that the wax will not be overly hot for skin contact and makes for a very soothing, heated massage.
To use, simply trim the wick to specified instructions. Light the candle. Let the candle burn for about 5-10 minutes or until a good size puddle of oil has melted. When the oil is ready, blow out the wick and wait for a second. Then, take the candle, with pour spout pointed at targeted area, and pour the warm oil onto your lovers (or your own) body. Because the oil is extremely runny and warm, you will want to make sure that there is something underneath the body so that the oil can drip without staining or causing a mess. It will run fast, so make sure to cover the area with your hand, OR you can simply pour the oil into your hand before beginning.
Once you are finished pouring the candle oil into your hand, cover the candle with the ceramic lid (provided) to keep the remaining oil warm in case you need more. Or you can relight the candle for more oil.
Massage the oil into our partners (or your own) skin and work from the inside out. I found this method worked best and I was able to make it last longer this way. Kneading deep into the muscle and making sure to evenly distribute the oil.
This oil is extremely smooth to the touch. Even before the candle has been lit and the oil has been melted, you can swirl your finger around the top and feel the smooth oil rub off onto your finger. It has a very smooth, silky feel to it. The oil is pretty thick, but when on the skin, it does not feel heavy. Which is a huge plus. You will not feel as though you need to shower right away or rub it off during the massage. It spreads nicely and your hands or massage tools will glide with ease when using this oil.
While this oil is a thick and creamy oil, I will say that it also feels a tad oily. It will look oily too. However, after wiping the excess off afterwards, I found that I did not feel greasy. If you feel greasy or oily and do not like the feeling of the after affects, I would suggest just wiping down with a warm, soapy rag or taking a shower. This will wash it right off and no scrubbing or forceful washing is needed.
I have the Vanilla/Sandalwood scent. I found that it was much like the "Fig Leaf-BWarm" candle scent. If you do not know what that smells like, it has a very tiny hint of vanilla, but the sandalwood (a very woody/musky scent) is much more overpowering. The vanilla scent is almost non existent. For me, this was a scent that was something that had to grow on me. I am not one to really like the musk type smells. Anything that smells like a guy or "musky", or woody isn't really my style. Im all about the fruits and flowers. However, I will say that after I gave it a chance, lit the candle and started to use it, I have come to like it more and more. I could smell this outside the box! It is a very potent, strong smell. This may be a problem for those with sensitivity to smells/migraines from smells.
The scent during massage is pretty decent. It definitely can be smelled throughout the room. As far as just having the candle lit in a room, the smell does not travel much at all. You would have to be sitting fairly close to this candle or pick it up and run it past your nose, before you smelled anything of it. So, I would have to say that if you're buying this to be a decor item and only for the scent/to burn it...You may be disappointed.
It also comes in a Chocolate/Cinnamon scent as well.
The oil from this candle absorbs nicely into skin. The oil does last quite a while and only a tiny bit needs to be used to get the desired effect. Other massage tools and your hands work great with this oil and glide nicely across the skin.
The feel of the oil is very natural and doesn't feel heavy or weigh your skin down. I love that you don't have to reapply this oil very often at all.
The Don't stop massage candle comes in an all black box with light pink writing/design. It does not really "scream" sex/adult or anything of that nature unless someone is purposely up close and reading the labels/writing. It says "Booty parlor" on the front, top of the box but that is probably the only thing that people may question.
The Words "Don't Stop", "Massage candle" and "Exotic Sandalwood/vanilla" are on the front. Instructions/information is on the back in fine print. I really don't see anything embarrassing about this packaging and I would feel totally comfortable giving this to anyone as a gift.
This candle is adorable. It is very elegant. With the packaging/design of the candle, it would make a great gift to anyone. There is also a small lace band (stretchy) that comes wrapped around the middle of this candle. On that band is a small black and baby pink bow. I compare this to a garter belt because of how stretchy and the look to it. It would be a super cute "bracelet" to put around your wrist during foreplay. Maybe you have an outfit that you want to "dress up " a bit during foreplay? It would also make a cute ribbon to keep to use on other gifts/packaging. Or, you can leave it around your candle and add to the decor in your home. Up to you!
If you live in a warmer climate, or during the warmer months, you will notice that your candle will "sweat". These tiny beads ontop of your candle are because of the soy wax that is used. Soy wax melts at a very low temperature (this is to help from causing any burns during use). Because of that low burn feature, this candle will easily melt in hotter months. I would suggest keeping this candle in a cooler area of the house during this time. I don't see a problem with it melting/sweating, so if this doesn't concern you, then it should be fine where ever you choose to leave the candle.
My experience with this candle was wonderful. The first time that I used it, I wanted to make sure it was going to be something that wouldn't leave me feeling "icky". I don't like overly thick or sticky products all over my body, or feeling of unclean. So I had taken a small amount and placed it on the back of my hand. The oil ran a bit, but I caught it with the jar to prevent a mess. Not a big deal. I have carpel tunnel and my wrist/hands are in pain quite a bit. I have fibromyalgia too. So this was something that was important to me to really work and feel nice.
It worked wonderfully! I sat here for about 10 minutes, rubbing and really digging in deeply into my fingers, between my joints and up half of my arm. I found that it felt great and I feel confident that this oil will feel great as an all over body massage oil!
Follow-up commentaryI still like it3 days after original review
Since receiving this candle, I purchased the other scent (the chocolate/Cinnamon). I have to say HORRIBLE with the chocolate and cinnamon. I can't even put my finger on how it smells, but its very musky and I can barely smell any chocolate. Mostly cinnamon. Its very strong. However, my vanilla and sandalwood has been very good to me these last few days. I have used these on my hands/joints after a long day on the laptop and I have to say that its so very soothing. Between this and the JimmyJane Afterglow candles, I would have to say that this one is going to win, hands down. I just like the feel of this one better. Really impressed with the overall feel and I will continue to purchase these candles. Besides, I can't get over how cute these holders are! Although, because of the price, I have to admit that I won't be buying them unless they are on sale. Its just still too rich for my blood, no matter how much I love the product.
