02Why Shunga?

Shunga is a name that sounds familiar in this corner of the world, and this candle is the calm side of the brand. No toy, no buttons. A flame, a scent and two pairs of hands.

The description is clear about the method: let it burn twenty minutes before use, then put it out and pour the melted wax into your palm before spreading it. The oil gets warm but does not burn, writes Shunga itself.

The aroma is vanilla with a little extra, called a subtle aphrodisiac by the brand. That is a brand claim, so read it as mood. The scent is soft and hangs pleasantly in a room.

At 170 ml it is a generous candle. The bol page lists 40 burning hours, but product data does not always say the same. Do not count on it to the hour.

03Massage candle or massage oil?

Two ways to start a massage. A candle sets the mood straight away, an oil is ready the moment you open the cap.

A general guide. Always read the pack of your own product.

This is for you if

  • You love vanilla and want the mood to build.
  • You want a candle that also makes a good gift.
  • You find waiting part of the fun.

Skip it if

  • You want to start right away. Twenty minutes of waiting come with it.
  • You find vanilla too sweet.
  • You do not want a candle with an open flame.

04How to use it

  1. Light it and wait

    Let the wax melt for a while first. Put the candle on a sturdy, dry surface, away from curtains and paper.

  2. Blow it out

    Put the flame out before you use the wax. An open flame never belongs near your body.

  3. Test on your wrist

    Pour a little on your inner wrist. Too hot? Wait a little longer.

  4. Pour into your palm and spread

    Shunga advises pouring the melted wax into your palm before spreading it. Start gently and feel the temperature.

05Good to know

  • Saying the oil does not burn does not replace testing. Always do it on your wrist.
  • Oils can stain fabric. Put a towel down.
  • Burn time differs by source. Do not count on it to the hour.
