What do you wear for a full body massage for a woman?

One of the most common questions women have before booking a massage is: “What should I wear?” The answer depends on the type of massage, your comfort level, and the spa’s policy.

✅ Typical Options

  1. Undergarments (Bra & Panties or Just Panties)

    • Most women keep their underwear on.

    • The therapist will drape you with a sheet or towel, uncovering only the area being massaged.

  2. Completely Nude (Optional & Common in Spas)

    • Many professional massages are done nude, but you’ll always be fully draped except for the area being worked on.

    • This allows the therapist to work more effectively without straps or fabric in the way.

  3. Sports Bra & Shorts (For Comfort)

    • If you’re not comfortable undressing fully, light workout clothes or loose shorts and a tank top are fine.

    • Some massages (like Thai massage) are actually done fully clothed.

⚖️ Things to Know

  • You’re always covered: Only the part of your body being massaged is uncovered.

  • Your choice matters: Communicate with your therapist about what you’re comfortable wearing.

  • Different massages = different attire:

    • Swedish / Deep Tissue → underwear or nude under draping.

    • Thai / Shiatsu → loose clothing.

    • Hot Stone or Oil Massage → underwear or nude with draping.

🌿 Bottom Line

For a female full body massage, most women either wear their underwear or choose to go nude under proper draping. The key is your comfort and trust—a professional therapist will always prioritize that.
