XtoysEarthly Body Edible Massage Oil 2oz Grape Review
Editor's opinion
This is a naturally blended, grape-flavoured massage oil designed for slow, sensual massage between partners. It suits couples who want proper skincare with a playful finishing touch, but the almond and apricot content makes it a no-go for anyone with nut allergies, and oil should never be near latex condoms.
Flavoured massage oils sit in an interesting spot: part skincare, part foreplay prop. Earthly Body's grape offering leans on a natural oil blend to deliver the professional glide a proper massage needs, then adds a grape flavour and a claim that it is pure enough to eat.
The question for a buyer is whether the flavour gimmick gets in the way of the practical job, and whether the ingredient list suits your body and your bedside habits. On both counts there is some genuine thinking to do before you reach for the checkout.
The good and the bad
What works
- Natural oil blend gives a proper, long-lasting glide for massage
- Almond, grapeseed and apricot oils moisturise as you work
- Vitamin E is a well-regarded skin-conditioning ingredient
- Handy 2oz bedside size that is easy to keep to hand
- Flavoured for playful, sensual couples use
What to be aware of
- Contains almond and apricot oils, so unsuitable for nut allergies
- Oil-based, so it will degrade latex condoms
- 2oz is a small bottle that generous use will get through quickly
- Flavour is a matter of personal taste and can be divisive
Buy it if
Couples who want a natural, skin-conditioning oil for slow massage and enjoy a flavoured, sensual finishing touch. It also suits anyone who prefers a plant-oil blend over synthetic lotions.
Skip it if
Anyone with a nut allergy should avoid it entirely given the almond and apricot content, and anyone relying on latex condoms should choose a water-based product instead, as oil breaks latex down.
Design and materials
The formula is described as a 100 percent natural blend built around hemp, almond, grapeseed and apricot oils with added vitamin E. That combination is chosen for slip: plant oils give a smooth, unhurried glide that lasts, which is exactly what a long massage needs rather than something that soaks away in seconds.
The flip side of a natural nut-and-seed oil base is allergen awareness. Almond and apricot kernel oils are the sort of ingredients anyone with a nut allergy needs to steer well clear of, and it is worth a patch test even for those without known sensitivities.
How it is meant to be used
The idea is to warm a small amount between your hands and work slowly over shoulders, back and limbs. Because the blend is designed to absorb and condition rather than sit greasy on the surface, you can be generous and keep going without stopping to wipe down.
The grape flavour and the maker's claim that it is pure enough to eat point it towards playful, sensual couples use as well as a plain relaxing rub. Treat the flavour as a finishing touch rather than the main event; the skincare and glide are doing the real work.
Care, cleaning and the condom question
As an oil, this needs the same common-sense handling as any massage oil. It can mark sheets and towels, so a spare towel underneath is sensible, and oil residue is best kept away from fabrics you care about.
The most important practical point is barrier protection. Oil-based products degrade latex, so this must not be used with latex condoms or latex toys. If protection is part of your evening, keep the oil to the massage and switch to a compatible water-based lubricant for anything else.
How it compares
Against a plain unscented massage oil, this trades a little neutrality for a flavoured, edible-grade appeal that fits sensual couples use. Against a water-based massage gel, it offers a richer, longer glide but loses condom compatibility and easy clean-up.
Compared with rival flavoured oils, the selling point here is the natural plant-oil blend and vitamin E rather than a synthetic feel. Whether the grape flavour lands is entirely personal, and the 2oz size is best seen as a try-it-and-see bottle rather than a bulk buy.
The bottom line
As a natural, skin-conditioning massage oil with a playful flavoured twist, this is an easy recommendation for couples who want an unhurried, sensual massage and have no nut allergies in the room. Just remember it is oil, so keep it away from latex and expect the small bottle to disappear faster than you might think.
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to use with condoms?
No. This is an oil-based product, and oil degrades latex. Do not use it with latex condoms or latex toys. If you need protection, keep the oil to the massage and use a water-based lubricant for anything else.
Is it genuinely safe to taste?
The maker describes it as pure enough to eat and flavours it with grape for sensual use. As with any edible product, check the full ingredient list on the bottle and avoid it entirely if anyone present has a nut allergy, since it contains almond and apricot oils.
Will it leave a greasy mess?
The blend is designed to absorb and moisturise rather than sit on the surface, so it should feel less greasy than a heavy oil. That said, it is still an oil and can mark fabrics, so a towel underneath is wise.
How long will a 2oz bottle last?
That depends on how generously you use it. Two ounces is a modest bedside size, and because you can apply plenty for a full-body massage, frequent use will get through it fairly quickly.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
It is a natural plant-oil blend with vitamin E, which many people find gentle, but the nut and seed oils mean a patch test is sensible for sensitive or allergy-prone skin, and it should be avoided completely by anyone with a nut allergy.
