Warm Wax Candle Play: Make Me Melt Candles

Warm wax candle play is hugely popular with kinky folks who love the incredible sensations of hot drips on naked skin. In fact, we've witnessed people trembling with anticipation and excitement of warm wax drips splattering onto delicate parts of their bodies!

However, you don't need to be into BDSM to enjoy temperature play. It may sound scary or intimidating, but wax play is one of our top tips for couples who want to add some zingy experiences to their bedroom games.

Playing with warm wax candles allows you to create visually exciting experiences. 

How to use warm-drip wax candles

Make sure the skin is clean, dry and free from lotions or oils.

Light the candle and wait for the wax to start dripping. Test-drip on your arm or hand to ensure the temperature is ok.

Hold the candle a minimum of 36 inches from the naked skin to allow the hot wax to cool slightly before contact. The closer the candle (to the skin), the hotter the drip. Go slow and let the receiver decide how hot (or cool) they prefer their wax drips.

Start with small drips and splashes. Have fun playing with the warm wax candles and creating beautiful patterns. The skin is your canvas!

Tips for next-level warm wax candle play

If your partner enjoys feeling submissive and at the consensual mercy of your teasing, we recommend going all out.

Restrain their movements with the help of cuffs or satin ties. Ensure they're comfortably splayed out on a soft surface. For a sensually immersive experience, blindfold your playmate. Being restrained and blindfolded allows them to relax into the erotic sensations without distractions…

How to remove wax from naked skin

The wax delivers pops of heat before cooling down on the skin. Once the wax has cooled down, it's easy to remove. The wax won't pull hair or skin with it, nor leave burn marks (as long as you play safely).

Please note:

  • Never leave burning candles unattended.
  • Never use regular household candles, as these will cause burns.

Warm play candles are super-easy to use and suitable for anyone curious about exploring the sensations offered by dripping wax.
