Things to look out for
- Most massage oils are not suitable for use on intimate areas because they contain ingredients that are harmful to the delicate skin and disrupt the natural pH of the vagina. Are you planning to have sex after the massage? Make sure no leftover oil gets into the vagina or anus and use a lubricant instead.
- If you’re allergic to certain ingredients, such as perfume, always check the ingredients list first. If you’ve bought a new massage oil, test a patch on your hand first. That way, you can be sure that the oil is safe for your body.
- Massage oil can stain, so protect your clothes and bedding with a bath towel or sheet. Either way, it’s useful to have a clean towel at hand to wipe away excess oil if necessary.
How do you use massage oil?
Put a small amount of massage oil on your palm and rub your hands together to warm up the oil. Run your hands over your partner’s body with slow movements. Don’t press too hard, and always check with your partner if what you’re doing feels right. You can keep massaging until the oil is fully absorbed into the skin. Of course, you can always add more massage oil if you’ve applied too little or if you want to extend the massage session.
What types of massage oil are there?
🌿Relaxing massage oil
Relaxing massage oils often have a lovely relaxing scent and/or are enriched with essential oils. They also leave your skin feeling very soft and generally have a nourishing effect. The oil stays smooth for a long time, and you don’t need much for a nice massage session. But of course, if you like long sessions, you can always use more oil.

🌿Kissable massage oil
Kissable massage oil is edible oil. Erm, edible? Yep! It’s completely safe to consume, so you can lick it off your partner’s body after (or during) the massage. It doesn’t get more sensual than that! Of course, these oils always come in delicious flavours. There’s a wide range of kissable massage oils so that everyone can find a favourite flavour.
🌿Body-to-body massage oil
Do you like massages but think an ordinary massage is too boring? Could things get a bit more active and intimate for you? Then a body-to-body massage is definitely the perfect thing to try. For this massage, you lubricate yourself and your partner with body-to-body massage oil and massage your partner by sliding your body over theirs. It’s advisable to use a sheet, preferably one with inflatable edges, like this one. This will prevent the oil from spilling everywhere, so you can focus on what really matters: you and your partner!

🌿Warming massage oil
You can warm up massage oil before use by rubbing it between your hands, so that it takes on your body temperature and doesn’t feel cold when you spread it over your partner’s body. But did you know that there are also massage oils that have an integrated warming quality? These warm up after being applied to the body for even more stimulation. All you have to do is apply the oil to the skin and then gently blow on the oil to activate the heat. This helps your partner relax even more while being massaged and further stimulates the nerve endings in the skin for an intense experience.

🌿Vegan massage oil
If you’re looking for a good massage oil but you want to be sure that the oil is kind to nature as well, then a vegan massage oil is the perfect option. This is because vegan/organic massage oils contain only natural ingredients. It’s also a great choice if you suffer from allergies! Some massage oils even come in eco packaging, such as the products from HOT Bio.

🌿Massage candles
Do you like to take your time with your massage and create a sensual atmosphere? Go for a massage candle. Light the candle and enjoy the delicious scent while you wait for the wax to melt. The candle gives off a lovely scent that will put you and your partner in a relaxed mood. Meanwhile, the wax turns into a soft massage oil that you can use to massage your partner. Carefully pour the oil into your palm and then spread it on your partner’s body. Unlike ordinary candles, the melted wax is not piping hot, and you can pour it into your hand without any problems. Just be aware that the oil is, in fact, still very warm! Be careful and never pour it directly onto your partner’s skin.

🌿Body paint
Body paint has something in common with kissable massage oil because it’s also edible. You can lick it off your partner’s body for a more sensual experience! However, the main difference is that body paint is not suitable for massages – at least, not in the traditional way. What you can do is use it to paint your partner’s body with the most beautiful works of art. Let your creativity run wild! Afterwards, you can follow the patterns with your tongue and lick it off your partner’s skin. So hot! Body paint is available in many different flavours.
🌿Massage oil gift sets
