Low-Temp BDSM Candles, Black and Burgundy, Set of 2 - Drip Candles

Wax play, heat under control

Wax play is the art of letting hot wax drip onto your partner's skin. A drop falls, a sharp heat spreads, then the wax sets and tugs slightly as it cools: simple, very visual, and brutally effective at building tension. This Taboom set brings together two ridged pillar candles, one black and one burgundy, poured in an unscented low-temperature soy wax.

Unlike a decorative candle, their wax is made to melt at a lower temperature: it warms the skin without burning it, as long as you pour from high enough. You stay in charge of the intensity, drop after drop.

Its strong points

A wax made for skin. Low-temperature soy wax lands on the body hot, not scalding, as long as you respect the distance. That's what separates a sensual game from a bad memory.

Two colours, two moods. Black stands out on pale skin, burgundy looks like drops of blood on a chest or a back: enough to sign the session, take a photo, then wipe it all away.

Unscented. No headache-inducing smell, nothing to mask the scent of skin. The focus stays on sensations, breathing and moans.

A practical shape. The pillar candle sits well in the hand and tilts easily: you pour in a thin stream or drop by drop with one hand, while the other stays free to stroke, hold or spank.

What wax does for pleasure

Anticipation first. Blindfolded, he doesn't know where the next drop will land. Every second of waiting builds the excitement, and his body jolts at every impact.

A contrast that wakes you up. The heat stings for a split second, then softens as it sets. Alternate with an ice cube or just a breath, and every sensitive spot starts to buzz.

The pleasure of peeling it off. Once the wax has set, lifting it with a fingernail, gently scraping it, or knocking it off with a light flogger becomes a game of its own.

Between guys: solo, together, beginner or regular

The classic scenario: your partner lying down, tied up or simply submitting to your voice, and you drawing on his chest, belly, ass or inner thighs. Beginners, start from high up on the back and ass, the least sensitive areas. Regulars, bring the candle closer gradually, aim at the pecs and nipples, combine it with restraints or a gag. Solo, your belly and thighs can handle the experience, but the game only takes on its full dimension when someone else holds the candle.

Hairy chest? Wax clings to hair and removal turns into a surprise waxing. Shave the area or apply a thin layer of massage oil before you start.

Tips for use

• Protect the bed with an old towel or a sheet you don't mind staining.
• Light the candle and let it burn for a few minutes to form a small pool of melted wax.
• Always test on the inside of your wrist before pouring onto your partner.
• Start high, around sixty centimetres up, then move closer gradually: the closer the candle, the hotter the wax.
• Aim for fleshy areas (back, ass, thighs, chest) and avoid the face, eyes, hair, mucous membranes and damaged skin.
• Remove the wax once it has cooled, with your fingers or a plastic card.

Safety and precautions

A flame is still a flame: never leave a lit candle unattended, keep it away from curtains and sheets, and keep a glass of water within reach. Poppers are highly flammable: keep the bottle closed and far from the candle for the whole game. Agree on a safe word, put the candle out before moving on to something else, and never pour wax inside the body. Coloured wax can stain some fabrics.

FAQ — Your questions, our answers

Q: Does it burn?

A: Low-temperature wax is designed to warm without burning, but the sensation depends on the pouring height and on each person's sensitivity. Test on your wrist, start high and move closer little by little.

Q: Can I use them as massage candles?

A: No: this is a wax play candle. Its wax sets on the skin, it doesn't turn into oil. For massage, choose a massage candle.

Q: How do I remove the wax?

A: Let it cool, then peel it off by hand or with a plastic card. A thin layer of oil applied before play makes removal much easier, especially on hairy areas.

Q: Do both colours heat the same?

A: Both are presented as low temperature. To be safe, test each candle separately on your wrist before pouring.
