Jimmyjane has introduced its new line of massage candles: Afterglow. They come in small porcelain containers that  fit in your hand, with a tidy little spout to direct the flow of liquid evenly onto the skin. Like all (good) massage candles, the melting point is very low, so it just feels warm to the skin. And it’s perfect for sensual foreplay. Or post-play.

Some of us have been slow on the massage candle idea, mostly because we’ve been wary of putting anything on our skin that could be harmful, toxic, or irritating. Jimmyjane’s brought us around. The ingredients include jojoba, shea butter, vitamin E, soy and aloe, all delicious for the skin. And then there’s the scents.

They’re interesting.

Especially Bourbon. “Smokey and oaken with a caramel finish…” Imagine being massaged with “an air of decorum spiked with an undercurrent of scandal.”
