Notes on materials and fit
Massage candles
Massage candles are formulated to melt at a low temperature into a body-safe oil. Ordinary paraffin or soy candles are not, and should never be used on skin.
Temperature play
Borosilicate glass and stainless steel products can be gently warmed or cooled in water. Test on the inner wrist first, never use extremes, and never use a microwave or freezer.
In this chapter
