DRIPLESS CANDLE: Our taper candles are made from paraffin with a cotton wick. They're 100% dripless and smokeless. ***Note: Candles are dripless as long as you keep them away from breezes! GREAT FOR GIFT: And the set of candles is packaged in an attractive box which makes it an awesome gift. SIZE OF CANDLES: 10''/25cm in length, the glossy candles is 7/8 '' in diameter of bottom. They're long burning too, lasting up to 7-8 hours. Because of its extended burn-time, our unscented candles can be re-used multiple times. SUITABLE FOR ALL SITUATIONS: Our tall indoor/outdoor candles are excellent for weddings, romantic dinners, church, meditation, power outages, baptism, ritual ceremonies, home Christmas décor and more. DRIPLESS: It's not magic, a "dripless" candle, is an ideal blend of hard wax and a perfectly sized wick. But for a dripless candle to remain dripless, burning conditions must be ideal. The candle has to stand up vertically, not even at a slight angle. Keep the dripless candle away from drafts (air conditioning, fans, outdoors, window draft) as well, as a slight breeze could cause the flame to flare up larger than usual or to touch areas of wax that it normally wouldn't reach, causing drips.
