OK - I'll post a Q about massages

this is stolen from ML - but when you get a massage (or other body/spa treatments) do you get naked or keep your undies or other clothes on?

Re: OK - I'll post a Q about massages

  • The first time, I kept bra and undies on. Since then, just kept the undies on. I don't like getting massages though. They aren't relaxing for me and I always end up sore.

    Ditto

  • Depends on what I'm getting, but for a massage, I get naked. 
  • Just underwear.  However, like SK I don't like massages. I keep trying, but I just can't relax and they always want to give me a sports massage and I end up sore. 
  • I keep my undies on but not my bra. They usually keep my top covered even when they turn me over. Though, in St. Lucia, they had me turn over and there I was, boobs exposed as they massaged. Not the most comfortable moment but I just went with it.

  • I can't believe you all wear your undies; I did that once and it seemed like it took so much more awkward for the therapist to work around it. Also - I used to not like massages and then I discovered Hot Stone Massages! And body wraps!

  • Always with undies but no bra. I once got one done without undies and I could not relax. lol. I LOVE massages. This post reminded me I should schedule one.

    Kathryn, I've always meant to try the Hot stone massage and body wraps. But I'm guessing they don't do them for pregnant women.

  • I'm with Kathryn...nekid all the way.  I think the first time I went with undies and bra but it was so terribly awkward on my part that ever since, I've got in the flesh.  I love massages of all kinds.  The best massage I ever got was in Vegas at the Canyon Ranch Spa.  Ahhhhh.  I think I'm in need of scheduling a massage soon.  I'm getting blissful just thinking about it!

  • First couple of times I kept my undies on but I've gotten over it and have taken everything off the last few times. The best one I've had so far was a hot stone massage. I definitely recommend trying it if you haven't!

  • I keep my undies on. I'm not "free" enough to be completely naked.  

    I love massages though. Deep tissue, hot stone, aromatherapy .. They are all amazing!

    I got the worst (and most expensive) massage ever in St. Lucia. The woman scratched me to death with her finger nails. Then she was all impatient with me trying to hand me the cup of water to drink at the end because I was trying to keep the sheet around me. I ended up flashing her accidentally because I tried to grab the cup and the sheet fell.

    Where did you guys honeymoon at? Or vacation at? I'm thinking I made the right decision not to get a massage there.

  • I hate massages - they hurt. I've tried a time or two and I'm pretty sure I took my underwear off both times.

    When my Mom and sisters and I have done spa days at Turf Valley, I get a facial and a body scrub. I leave my underwear on and take my bra off for facials - bra off because they tend to ruby my shoulders and chest. For the scrub I take off everything, of course - and that's my favorite treatment in the whole wide world. It's amazing.

  • Bra off, underwear on. I recall the masseuse using the elastic in my underwear to tuck in the sheet to massage my leg, so I thought it was necessary. I feel better with it on anyway.
