Oils give the longest glide for a full massage. Lotions absorb more and leave less residue. Massage candles melt into a warm oil you pour straight onto the skin, so they double as mood lighting.
Can I use massage oil as lube?
Not unless the product says it's suitable for intimate use. Oils also aren't compatible with latex condoms. Use a proper lube once the massage moves on.
Are any massage oils edible?
Some are flavoured and labelled as edible or kissable. Brands like Kama Sutra and Earthly Body make flavoured options. Check the label before using any oil near the mouth.
Do massage oils stain sheets?
Oils can leave marks on fabric. Lay down a towel first, and pre-treat any spots with dish soap before washing.
How do I set the mood for a massage?
Warm the room, dim the lights, warm the oil in your hands first, and take your time. We put together more ideas in creating a sensual atmosphere.
