Massage sets

What is inside a massage kit?

One set is all about scent, another about flavour or a slippery gel, so the right one depends on what you want to do together.

• Trying different oils the S8 Massage Oil Box contains three 50 ml bottles. The Oil of Love The Collection Set from Kama Sutra is made for the same purpose.
• From massage to foreplay the Body-2-Body Oriental Gel Set from Shunga uses gels instead of oil. The Fruity Kisses Collection comes in flavours, so you can kiss as well.
• A complete gift set think of the Kama Sutra Getaway Kit or the Geisha’s Secrets Set from Shunga, and ToyJoy has a gift set too. If you would like to add something other than oil to the present, browse our sexy gifts.

The product description tells you exactly what is in each set. Once the first bottle runs out, top up with a separate massage oil or a massage candle.

A set is especially smart when you do not yet know which scent or texture you both enjoy. If you already know, one large bottle of your favourite will last longer. A set of small bottles is also handy to pack for a weekend away or a holiday.

Who would love a massage set as a gift?

The best present matches how far the person receiving it has already explored massage and foreplay. For someone who has never had an erotic massage, a box of small bottles is a gentle start. You discover together which scent feels nice, without a big bottle sitting on the shelf straight away.

For a couple who like to plan an evening for themselves, a complete kit with oil and other treats in a beautiful box is a good fit. If they are after something more exciting, a set with body-to-body gel or kissable flavours works well, because the massage naturally flows into foreplay. Giving the set to your own partner? Then add a handwritten voucher for an evening when you give the massage.

How do you use a massage kit in one evening?

1. Start with the oil massage the back, shoulders and legs with a scented oil and take your time over it.
2. Switch products halfway through, move on to a kissable oil or gel, so you can use your lips too.
3. Keep a towel nearby that way you can wipe your hands before you pick up another bottle.
4. Close everything properly screw the bottles shut after use and store the box somewhere cool and out of the sun.

What about sensitive skin and condoms?

If you have a nut allergy or sensitive skin, test a new oil on a small patch first. Oil and latex condoms do not mix, so switch to a water-based lubricant if you carry on with a condom. An old towel under your partner also prevents stains. You will find tips for the massage itself under erotic massage. For a slower, more mindful approach, read what a tantric massage is.
