The massage product matters

Sometimes the terms lubricant and massage cream get confused, even though they are two different products. This is not surprising, because we are talking about a massage wand, for example, and massage itself can be more than just relaxing tight muscles.

So what kind of products are we talking about when we talk about lubricants and various massage products?

Lubricate for more glide and variety in sex

Lubricants are divided into water-based, silicone-based, oil-based, and hybrid lubricants, which contain both water and silicone. Each of these lubricants has its own advantages and disadvantages. The intended use and individual preferences will determine which product or products would be best for your specific use.

However, the basic idea of ​​lubricants is to bring variety, comfort, and glide to sex, whether it's oral sex, intercourse, using sex toys, or solo sex. Lubricants can also contain various stimulating properties or even flavor.

Water sliding for sex

Water-based lubricants have a natural glide, but as the water evaporates, the glide fades faster than with other lubricant options. Water-based lubricants are best used for sex, as the lubricant usually doesn't last long enough for a full-body massage.

For more intimate massages, water-based lubricants can provide a nice change and are suitable as an enrichment for oral sex.  😉 There are sure to be flavors to suit everyone's taste from many different manufacturers. What would it sound like, for example? delicious chocolate or tasty vanilla ?

Multipurpose silicone

Silicone-based lubricant is designed as a lubricant for sex, but thanks to its strong and long-lasting glide, it is also suitable for many other uses. Have you tried, for example, a high-quality Eros silicone lubricant usage possibilities?

These products have enough glide for even a full-body massage, as the feel is almost oily, even though the lubricant does not contain oil. This means that silicone-based lubricants can also be used with condoms without any worries. One product is enough, even if a back massage turns into an intimate massage and things lead to another. 😉

Silicone-based lubricants are mostly unscented and tasteless. This is good news for those looking for a fragrance-free product. However, another multi-purpose product may be more suitable for your own use if you wish, for example, to lick the massage product off your skin during a massage.

Delicious massage creams

Massage creams are the best choice when you are looking for a multi-purpose product that has both taste and scent. These products are suitable for external massage, intimate massage and as a lubricant. For full-body massage, massage creams warm up slightly as you massage.

Compared to silicone or oil-based products, the composition is slightly different, as the base of the lubricant is often glycerin. However, despite the product name, the composition is not exactly creamy, but closer to oil. However, the products do not contain oil, which makes them suitable for use as a lubricant with condoms and sex toys.

Other multi-function products

There are also some on the market water-based multi-purpose products intended for external massage and use as a lubricant.

Typically, these products only have fragrance and, in some cases, also have stimulating properties, such as a warming effect . Unlike massage creams, the composition of the products is more creamy or even gel-like. The products usually do not have a real taste, even though their composition makes them safe to lick off the skin.

These products are a great choice when you want a water-based product, but in addition to lubricating sex, a full-body massage could also be in order.

Massage oils

Massage oils are a good choice when all you need is external a product suitable for massage.

Massage oils, as their name suggests, are oil-based products, meaning they are not suitable for use with most sex toys or condoms. The products are also generally not intended for anything other than external massage.

The oil-based formula of the massage oils provides a strong and long-lasting glide, making them perfect for a full-body massage or for massaging your partner's shoulders after a long day.

The different scent options that are often found in oils add variety to your massage. Bring luxury to your everyday life, for example with exotic fruits or with a rose scent! There is no flavor in these products, as they are not intended to be licked off the skin.

Atmosphere and warmth from massage candles

Oil-based products are also available in forms other than traditional massage oil! Massage candles are products that wonderfully combine the ambiance, warmth and touch of candlelight. As the name suggests, they are candles whose candle wax is intended for external massage.

Let the candle burn for a while and wait for a sufficient amount of the candle wax to melt. After this, you can pour the melted oil onto your skin and enjoy a warming massage.

The melting point of the candle wax used in massage candles is lower than, for example, traditional stearin candles, so the melted oil is not burning hot. However, it is worth letting the wax cool for a while before pouring it on the skin to ensure the appropriate temperature.

There are many different scent options for massage candles. The scents of Shunga scented candles are mostly similar to the scents of the massage creams in the series. Try this favorite product, for example strawberry sparkling wine or vanilla fragrant!

Oil as oil?

Many people prefer to use oils they find at home, such as coconut oil or baby oil, for massage. For a full-body massage, it's not necessarily a bad idea when nothing else is available.

However, even with these oils, it is important to remember that that they are not compatible with most sex toys or condoms.

Naturally, the oils also do not have any scent or flavor to add to the massage.

We have wonderful products with scents and flavors for you to choose from when you want to add to the atmosphere! In our store, you can always feel the composition of the products and test the scents and flavors.

Welcome to explore our selection! <3
