Why use a special candle for wax play? Ordinary household candles can melt at high temperatures, and the wax may be too hot for skin. Candles made for wax play use a blend with a lower melting point. These are a mix of soy and paraffin wax that melts at 118 F. Each candle sits in a small glass pitcher with a handle and a pouring lip, so you can hold it steadily and control where the wax lands. The wax is also UV reactive, so it glows in neon colors under a blacklight.
Blacklight Wax Play Pitchers: neon wax that glows under UV
Blacklight Wax Play Pitchers are a set of three wax play candles in red, yellow and green. The wax is a blend of soy and paraffin with a melting temperature of 118 F, and it reacts to UV light, so the drips glow when you switch on a blacklight. Each candle is poured into a soda-lime glass pitcher with a handle and a lip for a controlled pour.
The candles are unscented, which suits people who are sensitive to fragrance. Each one measures 2.9 in by 3.2 in by 2.4 in and burns for approximately 12 hours, so the set of three lasts through many sessions of wax play.
Best for: Couples exploring temperature play who want a visual element as well as the sensation. The pitcher shape makes pouring easier for people new to wax play, and the unscented wax suits anyone who avoids fragranced products.

How to use
Lay a blanket, towel or drop cloth under you to catch spills. Light a candle and let a pool of wax form. Blow out the flame, then hold the pitcher about 3 feet above your partner's body and pour slowly. The height gives the wax time to cool as it falls. Test a drop on your own arm first. Spread the wax with your hand to cool it faster if it feels too hot. Go slowly and check in often. Keep wax away from the face. Never leave a lit candle unattended, and keep it clear of anything flammable. Switch on a blacklight to see the glow.
Care
- Peel or wipe cooled wax off the skin, then wash with body wash and moisturize.
- Peel hardened wax off surfaces once it has cooled.
- Let the wax set in the pitcher before you move or store a candle.
- Keep candles away from flammable items and follow standard fire safety.
- Store upright in a cool place so the wax does not soften.

Frequently asked questions
How hot is the wax?
The wax blend melts at 118 F. The maker's directions say to blow out the flame and pour from about 3 feet above the body, which lets the wax cool further on the way down. Always test on yourself first.
Do I need a blacklight?
Only for the glow. The candles work as normal wax play candles in ordinary light and show their red, yellow and green colors. A blacklight is not included, so you need your own to see the UV effect.
How long do the candles last?
Each candle burns for approximately 12 hours. With three in the set, and since you blow the flame out before each pour, they should cover many sessions before the wax runs out.
How do I get the wax off afterward?
Let it cool, then peel or wipe it off the skin and any surfaces. Wash the skin with body wash and apply moisturizer. Putting a towel or drop cloth down beforehand makes cleanup much easier.
Are they scented?
No. The candles are unscented. That makes them a practical choice for anyone who is sensitive to fragrance or finds scented candles overpowering during a long scene. The wax itself is a soy and paraffin blend.
