Female body candles have become popular when it comes to home decor - and we approve. They are the perfect addition to your room to make it feel homely but also classy. Now, on the market, you can find everything from male body candles to maternity and curvy. We'd recommend buying sets of everything to make your home scream body positivity.
There are different types available and there is definitely something for everyone. From nice and simple, to gold foiled and vibrant colours - there is a candle to fit every aesthetic and interior.
You don't have to have just the classic skin-coloured candles because you can now get these candles in all shapes, sizes and colours. Don't look now dog lovers, because there's even a dog-shaped candle you can buy. Yep. A candle that looks like a dog.
We've seen these trending all over our Insta and Tik Tok, so if you haven't got one already, you need to grab one.
