Master Series Bound Goddess Wax Play Drip Candle – Red

Red is the classic colour for wax play, and the Master Series Bound Goddess drip candle in red looks the part twice over: the candle itself is a sculpted female torso bound in rope. Light it and the unscented wax starts to pool quickly, because the blend melts at just 118 to 122°F. That makes it one of the gentler options for people trying temperature play.

How to pour with control

Let a small pool form, blow the flame out, then tip. Pouring without the flame cuts down on splashing and gives you a steadier stream. Start around three feet above your partner's back, shoulders or thighs; wax cools as it falls, so height is your temperature dial. Repeated drops on the same spot stack the heat, while sweeping your hand over fresh drops spreads it out. Talk throughout, and agree a word that means stop.

Clean-up and aftercare

Put a towel or tarp down first. Once the wax has set, peel or scrape it away with a plastic card, a comb, nails or an ice cube, or work in some natural oil to loosen it. Ending with an oil massage is a kind way to close the scene.

Safety basics

Test on your own arm first, then a small area of your partner's skin. Keep wax off the face, eyes, hair and mucous membranes, and keep the flame away from fabric and paper. Want the same sculpture in a darker tone? See the black Bound Goddess.
