Why use candles made for wax play instead of ordinary candles? Household candles are usually paraffin or beeswax, often with dyes and fragrance, and they can melt at temperatures that scald skin. Candles made for wax play use a wax with a low, stated melt point. These are soy wax that melts at 122°F and contain no fragrance or perfume oils. That gives a warm drip you can plan around. You should still test the wax on your own skin first, because height and timing change how hot it feels.
Wicked Wax: three drip candles that glow under UV
Wicked Wax is a set of three drip candles for temperature play, in red, green and blue. Each is made of unscented soy wax, a vegetable-based wax with no paraffin, and melts at 122°F. The wax is UV reactive. In normal light it looks like colored wax, and under a blacklight the hardened drips glow neon on the skin.
Each candle measures 1.7 by 2.9 by 2.6 inches and burns for roughly 6 hours, so the set gives about 18 hours in total. Once the wax cools it peels off the skin. A blacklight is not included, so add one if you want the glow.
Best for: Couples who want to try wax play with a known, low melt temperature, and anyone who likes the visual side of a scene. The three colors let you layer patterns, and one candle is enough for many sessions.

How to use
Cover the bed or floor with an old sheet. Set the candle on a stable, non-flammable surface, light it and let a pool of wax form. Test a drip on a small patch of your own skin first. Then hold the candle well above your partner and tilt it slowly. More height gives the wax time to cool, less height feels hotter. Keep to areas such as the back, chest and thighs, and stay away from the face, eyes, hair and other sensitive areas. Agree on a safe word, tie long hair back and never leave a burning candle unattended. Peel the wax off when it has cooled.
Care
- Blow the candle out after each session and let the wax harden before moving it.
- Trim the wick short before relighting for a steadier flame.
- Peel cooled wax from skin. A little body oil helps lift small pieces.
- Store the candles upright in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight.
- Keep them out of reach of children and pets.

Frequently asked questions
How hot is the wax?
The soy wax melts at 122°F, which is low for a candle. How hot it feels depends on the drop height and how long the wax has pooled. Always test on your own skin first and start from a good distance above your partner.
Do I need a blacklight?
Only for the glow. The candles work as normal drip candles in ordinary light. Under a blacklight the hardened wax shows up neon. A blacklight is sold separately and is not part of this set.
Is the wax scented?
No. The candles are unscented soy wax with no fragrance or perfume oils added. That is useful if scented products bother you or if you want to pair the candles with a massage oil of your own.
How long do the candles last?
Each candle burns for approximately 6 hours, so the set of three gives about 18 hours. A wax play session uses only a small part of that, which means one set covers many evenings.
How do I get the wax off afterward?
Let it cool and harden, then peel it away from the skin. Body hair can hold onto wax, so a light layer of oil on the skin beforehand makes removal easier. Protect sheets and carpets, since colored wax can stain fabric.
