Do you wear clothes in a couple’s massage?
Wearing comfortable clothing is essential. I prefer loose-fitting attire that’s easy to change in and out of. Most spas provide robes and slippers, but having personal items can improve comfort. Wear as much or as little clothing as you’d like during the massage. When it’s time for your appointment, feel free to take off some, all, or none of your clothing. Most people dress down to their underwear for the first time, while others are completely fine being naked under the massage blanket.Most spas want you to be comfortable and relaxed, so arrive wearing loose, comfortable clothing like gym clothes, yoga pants and t-shirts. Once you are changed, you’ll be spending most of your time in a robe anyway!During a couple’s massage, you and your partner will typically be guided to a private room where you can undress to your comfort level. Most spas provide robes and slippers for you to wear before and after the massage.For massages and body treatments, ideally you disrobe completely (that means underwear, too). Most spas offer paper panties to wear during body treatments (like scrubs, wraps, or self-tanning)—they don’t cover much, but enough to provide a modicum of modesty.

No worries, your therapist can easily work over the sheet to get to these pesky problem areas. Groin & pelvic pain can stick around for quite some time, so I would always suggest at least three or more sessions of massage to make a difference. Third, some of the areas they work on are just simply more intimate than your regular Western massage. Your butt, inner thighs, outer thighs, and your groin area are all fair game. And not only that, they get pretty close to you – physically.Professional massage follows strict draping protocols. Even if groin muscles are being treated, only that specific muscle region is exposed, never the genitals or private areas. Practices like Massage Abingdon adhere strictly to these standards to ensure comfort and trust.

It’s up to you. Women usually remove their bras to allow the massage therapist to work on the back and shoulder area without getting massage oil or lotion on the bra.
