Lovehoney Hot Massage Rocks
My OH and I use Lovehoney regularly and we added the massage rocks to an order on a whim. We both enjoy giving and receiving massages and wanted to try something new.
I read through the reviews prior to purchasing these and another reviewer suggested boiling the kettle and bringing the rocks up to the bedroom in a bowl of hot water rather than just heating them in a pan. They do cool down fairly quickly, so I would recommend this strategy as well.
Do test the temperature of the rocks when you take them out of the water! They can get quite hot. I ended up having two out at a time (one in each hand) and rotating them with the rocks that were staying warm in the water.
We used them as massage tools (with massage oil) rather than just placing them on specific points on the receiver’s back. They cool down fairly quickly (a few minutes), but we didn’t find this was an issue with the way we were using them.
My OH commented that he didn’t realise how much tension he had in one side of his back until we started and that the rocks were really effective in relieving this. When giving the massage I found it much easier to get the pressure right for doing this than by just using my hands and I found it less tiring than a manual massage.
We switched round and I really enjoyed the smooth feel of the rocks. This was the most relaxing massage I’ve ever had! My heart rate on my Fitbit dropped down to 52 at one point! (My resting heart rate is 67.) They really do help to release tension and relax the receiver.
I would recommend these as a great purchase to treat your partner to some relaxation. They’re also a lovely way to build intimacy and spend some quality time together.
A word of caution: these are not good for foreplay. We were both far too relaxed and sleepy to even consider sex afterwards! We both had an incredible sleep though.
Overall Rating: 9 out of 10 stars
Pros: Super relaxing.
Cons: Too relaxed for sex afterwards.
Bottom Line: Brilliant purchase. I can’t wait for my next massage.
