SM candle

Low-temperature candles, also known as BDSM candles, are candles specially designed for wax play.

Unlike traditional candles, low-temperature candles are made from materials with a lower melting point, resulting in a cooler wax when melted.

They can therefore be used on the body without causing discomfort or excessive burning.

Low-temperature candle wax can be dripped or poured onto the skin, creating a sensation of warmth and a unique sensory experience.

However, caution should always be exercised when playing with wax, to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants.

The ancient art of SM candles: Questions & Answers

?️ History and origins of waxworks

Where do wax games in BDSM come from?
Wax play has its roots in Eastern purification rituals and ancient tantric practices. In Japan, the art of "Rousoku Zeme" used special candles as far back as the 17th century. The West rediscovered this practice in the 1960s, gradually integrating it into modern BDSM culture.

Why is wax so fascinating?
Hot wax creates a unique sensory contrast: the anticipation of heat, the brief, intense contact, then the sensation of cooling. This hot/cold, pain/pleasure duality perfectly reflects the BDSM philosophy of sensation control.

?️ Temperature and safety: what you need to know

What's the difference between classic candles and SM candles?
SM candles melt at 46-54°C, compared with 80-90°C for traditional candles. Made from kerosene or special soy wax, they guarantee intense sensations without burning. Our candles are dermatologically tested for safe body use.

How do I test the temperature before use?
Always pour a few drops onto your wrist first. The sensation should be warm but bearable. Start at a height of 30-40 cm above the skin, then gradually move closer, depending on your partner's tolerance.

Which areas of the body should I absolutely avoid?
Never on the face, genitals, wounds or recent scars. avoid hairy areas (difficult to clean) and sensitive joints. Start with the back, buttocks, chest and thighs.

? Rituals and advanced techniques

How to create the perfect atmosphere for a session?
Subdued lighting with several SM candles creates a mystical atmosphere. Prepare hot towels to cleanse, massage oil to soothe, and establish your words of safety. The ritual begins even before the first drop of wax.

What are the pouring techniques?
Fine rain: high height for gentle sensation
Continuous drip: regular movement for increasing intensity
Targeted drops: precision on sensitive areas
Wax mask: advanced technique for covering an area

? Philosophy and psychological dimension

What is the psychological aspect of wax play?
Beyond the physical sensation, SM candles create a state of active meditation. The dominant controls rhythm and intensity, while the submissive learns to welcome the sensation. This psychological dance strengthens connection and mutual trust.

How do wax games strengthen the relationship?
The required vulnerability and constant communication create deep intimacy. Each session becomes a non-verbal dialogue where partners learn to read each other's subtle reactions, developing empathy and complicity.

?️ Post-session care and recovery

How do I remove the wax correctly?
Allow to cool completely, then gently remove the plates. For residue, use warm oil (never hot water, which will set the wax). Massage gently to nourish stressed skin.

How should I care for my skin after a session?
Moisturize generously with our soothing massage oils. Monitor skin condition for 24-48 hours. In the event of persistent redness, consult a health professional.
