How do you start with wax play safely? Start with candles made for the purpose, such as drip candles sold as skin-safe, and never with scented or household ones. Test the wax on your own arm before it touches your partner. Drip from high up, because the farther wax falls, the cooler it lands. Begin on the back, buttocks or thighs and stay away from the face, hair and genitals. Talk throughout, agree on a safe word, and keep a bowl of water or a damp towel within reach.
Japanese Drip Candles in purple: three candles for sensation play
Japanese Drip Candles from Doc Johnson are candles meant for more than atmosphere. They are made for sensation play, where melted wax is dripped onto the skin to tease with brief warmth. This pack holds three purple candles. The maker lists them as skin-safe and non-toxic. Purple wax gives a softer, more colorful look on the skin than black.
Best for: For partners who enjoy sensory games and want an inexpensive way into temperature play. The candles fit well with blindfolds and restraints, where the receiver cannot see the next drop coming. Pick purple if you want color rather than a dark look.

How to use
Protect the surface under you with a towel or old sheet. Light one candle and wait until melted wax gathers near the wick. Let a single drop fall on your own forearm to judge the heat. Then hold the candle well above your partner and tip it so one drop falls at a time. Move the candle lower only if they ask for more heat. Avoid the face, hair and genitals. Put the flame out when you finish.
Care
- Extinguish the flame fully after use and let the candle cool.
- Wait for the wax to set, then lift it off the skin with your fingers.
- Wash any wax residue from skin with warm water and soap.
- Keep the candles somewhere cool so they hold their shape.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended or near fabric.

Frequently asked questions
Will the wax burn the skin?
The maker describes these candles as skin-safe with a warm drip, but no temperature is given in the product information. Test every candle on your own arm first and drip from a good height. Stop if your partner reports pain rather than warmth.
How do I get the wax off afterwards?
Let it cool and harden, then peel it away or flake it off with a fingernail. Wax comes off hairless skin most easily. Rubbing a little body oil on beforehand helps on areas with hair.
Do the purple candles differ from the black ones?
The product information is identical for both packs apart from the color named in the title. Each is a three-pack of skin-safe, non-toxic drip candles. Choose the color you prefer to see on skin.
