XtoysEarthly Body Edible Massage Oil in Watermelon Review
Editor's opinion
This is a flavoured, edible massage oil aimed at couples who want to turn a massage into something more playful. The 236ml bottle and light, non-greasy formula make it good value for repeat use, though the almond oil content means anyone with a nut allergy should steer clear, and it is not designed to work alongside condoms.
Massage oils occupy a gentle corner of the romance shelf: less about gadgetry and more about slowing down. Earthly Body's watermelon offering leans into that, adding an edible, flavoured twist so a massage can drift naturally into closer play.
What a buyer is really weighing here is the formula and the format. It is an oil, it is flavoured, and it is meant to be licked off, so ingredients, skin suitability and how it plays with other products matter more than any single feature. Here is what the specification actually tells you.
The good and the bad
What works
- Generous 236ml bottle that lasts across many sessions
- Non-greasy blend of natural oils that absorbs rather than sitting heavy
- Edible and watermelon-flavoured, made for playful couples' use
- Paraben-free, petroleum-free and vegan friendly for cleaner ingredients
- No batteries or charging, ready whenever you are
What to be aware of
- Contains almond oil, so unsuitable for anyone with a nut allergy
- As an oil, it is not compatible with latex condoms
- Flavoured products suit couples more than solo use
- Oil can stain fabrics and sheets if you are not careful
Buy it if
Couples who enjoy massage as part of intimacy and want an edible, flavoured oil with a cleaner ingredient list. The large bottle suits anyone who expects to reach for it regularly.
Skip it if
Anyone with a nut allergy, given the almond oil, and anyone relying on condoms for protection, since oils degrade latex. If you need condom compatibility, look for a water-based body glide instead.
Design and materials
The formula is built around natural oils including hemp seed, almond, grapeseed and vitamin E, which is a nourishing, skin-friendly mix on paper. Earthly Body has kept it paraben-free, petroleum-free and vegan, which will appeal to buyers who read labels and prefer to avoid synthetic fillers.
The one ingredient that demands attention is almond oil. It is a common massage base, but it is a tree nut, so this is not a product for anyone with a nut allergy. Check the full label before first use, as the brand itself advises.
How it is meant to be used
This is a shared product first and foremost. You warm a little in your hands, work it over the skin in slow strokes, and because it is edible and watermelon-flavoured, it is made to be licked and nibbled off as the massage becomes more intimate. A small amount spreads a long way, so start modestly.
One practical point: as an oil, it is not compatible with latex condoms, which it can weaken. If barrier protection is part of your evening, this is not the product to reach for, and a water-based alternative would be the safer choice.
Care and cleaning
There is nothing to charge and nothing to maintain, which is part of the appeal. Keep the bottle closed between uses and store it somewhere cool, as with any flavoured or oil-based product, to keep the scent and texture as intended.
Be mindful of fabrics. Oils can stain sheets and clothing, so a towel underneath is a sensible precaution. The 236ml size means one bottle should stretch across a good many sessions before you need to think about replacing it.
How it compares
Against water-based intimate glides, this oil trades condom compatibility for a richer, more nourishing feel and an edible flavour, which is the trade every massage oil makes. Against unflavoured massage oils, the watermelon taste is the draw for couples who want the licking-off element rather than just a rub-down.
Within Earthly Body's own range the main variable is flavour, so the choice between watermelon and its siblings comes down to preference. The formula and format are broadly the same across them.
The bottom line
For couples who want a flavoured, edible massage oil with a cleaner ingredient list and a light feel, this is a sensible, good-value pick thanks to the large bottle. Just remember the two non-negotiables: the almond oil rules it out for nut allergies, and being an oil, it should never be used with latex condoms.
Frequently asked questions
Is this massage oil safe to eat?
It is designed to be edible and licked off the skin as part of intimate play. That said, it is a massage oil rather than a food, so it is meant for use on the body during massage, not to be consumed in quantity.
Can I use it with condoms?
No. This is an oil-based product, and oils can weaken and degrade latex condoms, reducing their reliability. If you need condom compatibility, choose a water-based body glide instead.
Is it suitable if I have a nut allergy?
No. The blend contains almond oil, which is a tree nut, so it is not suitable for anyone with a nut allergy. Always check the full ingredient label before use.
Will it leave my skin greasy?
The formula is described as non-greasy and designed to absorb comfortably rather than sit heavy on the skin. Using a small amount and adding more as needed helps keep the feel light.
How long will the bottle last?
At 236ml and with a little going a long way, one bottle should comfortably cover many sessions before it needs replacing.
