Massage Oils

Oil, lotion or cream?

Massage oils give the longest, smoothest glide and are ideal for full-body massages. Lotions absorb a little faster and feel lighter, while creams are thick and nourishing, perfect for shorter massages, feet and hands. If you're planning to kiss your way across your partner's body, choose an edible oil.

Warming the oil

Cold oil can be a shock, so warm it first. Rub a little between your palms, stand the bottle in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes, or use a massage candle alongside. Edible oils often warm further when you blow on the skin.

Scent and flavour

Scented oils help set the tone: florals feel romantic, citrus feels uplifting and woody scents feel grounding. Flavoured edible oils turn massage into a playful, tasty experience. Unscented options suit partners who are sensitive to fragrance.

Massage oil is not lube

Massage oils are made for skin, not for internal use. They can upset the vaginal pH and weaken latex condoms. When things move towards sex, switch to one of our personal lubricants instead.

Protecting your sheets

Lay a dark towel or a dedicated massage sheet under your partner, and wash bedding promptly if oil spills. A quick warm shower together afterwards is a lovely way to finish.

A ten-minute massage for busy evenings

No time for a full session? Focus on the shoulders, neck and hands. Sit behind your partner, warm a little oil in your palms and use slow kneading movements across the tops of the shoulders, then glide your thumbs up the back of the neck. Finish by massaging each hand, pressing gently into the palm and along every finger. It's a small gesture that melts stress and often leads to more.

Edible oils for kissing and oral play

Edible massage oils are designed to be tasted, so you can follow your hands with your lips. Blowing gently on the oil releases its warming effect and flavour. Keep edible oils on the outside of the body, and switch to a flavoured water-based lube for oral sex on intimate areas.
