Dh got me a massage at this new spot called Massage Envy, this is my first massage ever and I am excited! However, I am wondering about the level of comfort any of you had with the disrobing thing, I would like to get the most out of it! It is an hour long. What have you all done? I guess this is a chain and it sounds really neat, there are five different types of massage, deep tissue, swedish,trigger point,sports,cranial sacral,reflexology, I think I am going to try the swedish massage, the deep tissue is really uncomfortable to me. Just wondering what you guys thought about the disrobing thing, do you leave your modesty at the door or what? Happy Mother's Day ladies...

In the past year I have just started going to spas. The first massage I had I left all my undergarments on, it just made me feel more modest. However, I soon realized it is much more enjoyable to have them actually rub your whole back. So I now, if the robe covers and fits well, I leave on my panties while hanging out in the waiting room. But when I get to my room, I completely disrobe.

After having several I realized the protocol is the same. You get escorted to a room, they leave for you to disrobe and then get under the covers. They keep you very covered, if they ever need you to roll over, they raise the sheet from the far side and have you turn, where they never see you.

If I am just doing an upper body massage I do leave my undies on still. I also don't like the deep tissue, it hurts me. But a nice swedish massage is very enjoyable. Also I only like it for about a 1/2 hour, an hour is a little too long for me.

I always leave my panties on because they are never in the way. I always take my bra off, though, so she can get to my entire back and shoulders with no problem.

I don't like deep tissue. I get massages to relax and I can't relax with that! They will ask you if you want a light, medium, or deeper touch, and you can change your mind if you need to!

As Kaye said, you are always completely covered. And when they have you turn over, they hold the sheet up like a tent and stand at the bottom area so you can flip over without them being able to see a thing!

Go, relax, and the next time will be even better! And enjoy that hour because it will fly by!

you will love Massage Envy! one of my good friends owns 3 here. Don't be suprised if they try to sell you a membership at the end, but they aren't really high pressure.
like everyone has said, they will totally respect your comfort level. i usually just strip down, but i have friends that keep panties on and some that wear bathing suits. it's all good.
i love massages. i don't like deep tissue cause it's not relaxing. i prefer swedish. i have had some where they do a little reflexology along with it, but i don't prefer exclusive reflexology.

I have been wanting to get one ,too, for a long time.But, I don't think I would be comfortable letting someone touch me that I don't know.I'm TERRIBLY afraid that I will get toooo comfortable and pass gas !!!! Also, with my fibromyalgia , my body is so incredibaly sore that it hurts to touch me.

I love massages!!! Spas are a wonderful thing for every girl. I am always completely naked under the sheet, but you are always completely covered. I also don't like deep tissue, but it's a personal preference. I don't feel like I can relax with deep tissue, and I'm usually in pain.

Have a wonderful time! The hour goes by so quickly. Drink lots of water the rest of the day and don't have anything else pressing to do. I always plan a trip when I don't have much else going on so I can take the rest of the day pretty easy also.

I have had one massage and I took it all off! It was at an awesome place in Costa Rica. I had an hour long hot stone and aroma therapy massage. OMG!!! I was like a limp noodle when I left that place. All I wanted to do was go to the hotel and go sound asleep afterwards. WONDERFUL!!!

I dont want any clothes getting in the way of my massage. lol Nor do I want them getting icky lotion or anything on them.

Enjoy yourself!!!!
