How much oil should you melt before a massage? You do not need to burn the whole candle. Light it and wait until a shallow pool of liquid has formed across the top. That is usually enough for shoulders and a back. Put out the flame, pour what you need and relight for more. With this Shunga mini the maker says the melted oil is lukewarm, and the full candle has a burn time of up to 7 hours, so short burns stretch it over many evenings.
Mini Massage Candle in Libido, Exotic Fruits
Libido is the Exotic Fruits scent among Shunga's mini massage candles. Like the rest of the range it is a 1 fl oz, soy based candle made with 100% natural oils. It gives off its fruity fragrance while it burns and melts into a lukewarm oil meant for intimate massage. The maker says the oil will not clog pores and leaves skin soft and silky. It is a convenient size to take along on a trip.
Best for: For those who like bright, fruity scents and want something small to bring along on a weekend away. It also works as an inexpensive way to find out if massage candles are for you. It makes an easy small gift as well.
