UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2022: The Amazing Hot Heart Massager doesn’t appear to be longer in production. This sex toy review remains as a reference for those who are interested. While you’re here, check out our XXX Truth or Dare, Online Submissive Activities, and Beginner Pegging Positions.
The Amazing Hot Heart Massager set by Lover’s Choice is a set including a reusable heat-up heart, massage oil, and a mini booklet on how to perform the perfect massage. The kit is designed to be bought by couples, and has everything you need to experience a relaxing and romantic evening with your partner.
The massager arrives in a rather large box with instructions printed on the front and back. The packaging states in various places that the product is reusable, and has instructions on how to do this. Unlike some heating toys, the massager heats from a chemical reaction, rather than batteries. To use the product you simply bend a metal disc, which is floating around inside the product, and the liquid starts to heat-up and crystallise. Once the toy has cooled, you will need to boil it, and let it cool to room temperature before you can use it again. Simply boil the product in water for 10 minutes, dry, and put it away ready for your next massaging session.
Personally I’m not too keen on the box this set arrives in. It’s just a little too big considering the size of the items within, and also it has a clear plastic window revealing the product, meaning that if you aim to buy this as a surprise gift, you will need to gift wrap it.
Inside the box you will find a massage heart. Printed on it are instructions on how to use the toy, and reuse it. On the front of the massager there is ‘XOXO’ printed in white. The liquid inside the heart is a pink colour, and will turn a candy pink once crystallised. Provided in the pack is a sample size massage oil sachet, which unfortunately isn’t resealable. The massage oil is made from all natural ingredients: almond oil, safflower oil, grapeseed oil, avocado oil, and citrus essential oils. Inside the box is a mini massage guide, with tips on how to set the mood, breathing techniques, and how to massage with your hands and the massage heart. Again, you will find instructions on how to use and reuse the heart inside this booklet. The booklet really is general knowledge on how to perform a massage, and unless you have never performed or seen a massage take place, I doubt you’ll find it particularly enlightening. I would’ve liked some images showing hand techniques, etc.
Using the heart is easy; simply flex the metal disc and it instantly starts heating. The liquid will start to form crystals, going from a mushy snow-like texture, which as it cools it will start to feel similar to compacted snow. The outer plastic cause’s very little drag, even when oils aren’t used. It can feel very hot during the first five minutes, and may feel too hot to rest in a single place for long. It stayed hot for around 15 minutes, and then keeps reasonably warm for the next hour. I found that as the crystals became firmer, it felt too uncomfortable to massage really achy areas.
The massage oil is a handy addition to the kit. It is very runny compared to some oils, but works nicely with the warmed-up heart. It hasn’t caused my skin any irritation, which normally is a problem for me, as I have very sensitive skin. I did however find the smell a little too citrusy. It took awhile for my skin to absorb the oil, leaving a slightly greasy sheen.
Reusing the heart is easy. Simply put it into a pan of boiling water for 10 minutes, remove and dry and then let it cool. It should be ready for you to use the next time, where you repeat the triggering steps by flexing the metal disc inside. Even though the heart is reusable I do wonder how long it’ll last. Sometimes the metal disc can seem quite sharp, and as the plastic outer material isn’t overly thick, I am worried it will rip.
Overall, The Amazing Hot Heart Massager is ok, I wouldn’t really say it’s amazing as far as romantic kits go, but it’s nice and convenient. The heart is a nice addition to the standard massaging tools I’ve used, especially as I prefer warmer massages, rather than having icy cold hands and lotion rubbed on my back. It does help ease away some aches and pains. However I wish it didn’t crystallize as firmly and quickly. I feel that unless you are a complete novice when it comes to massages, I would avoid buying this kit. The guide is very basic, and the oil isn’t the greatest. You are still able to purchase this massage heart without the addition of the oil and booklet; it’s also a fraction of the price.
