Massage and Breastfeeding/leaking

Mae0926

My husband bought me an hour and a half long massage for my birthday. I'm going tomorrow, but I Ebf, and am worried about leaking everywhere. Anyone recently gotten a massage and how did you handle the leakage? I could wear a bra I suppose and just unclasp it when they get to my back...just looking for suggestions! Thanks

I'm a massage therapist, my clients just brought in a towel to lay on, worked for them and me. You could always call the establishment and see if they have any other ideas.

I had one.  I chose to get this head/neck/shoulders one.  She said to take off the bra, but gave me an extra towel for my boobs. I didn't leak during the massage.  Enjoy yourself!

I would just have an extra towel down and let the masseuse know that it may happen.

Great thought, didn't even occur to me! I'm going Monday for my birthday

Thanks ladies! Perfect idea, I'll bring a small towel with!

I pumped ahead of time and informed the therapist. She gave me some extra towels to put down. I didn't wear a bra.

I wish I had thought of that. I've been leaking since my third trimester and I just ended up leaking on her sheets and apologizing profusely... oops.

I pumped before mine. The therapist gave me towels to put under my armpits (so there would be no additional pressure) and an extra towel on the table. It worked out fine, no leaking

I have one scheduled for tomorrow , I was just going to bring an extra towel. I have a friend who wore a strapless bra for head and neck and just unclasped it when it came time for the back portion. I heard pumping was a good idea before

Yup, I was planning on pumping before as well, for DD to eat while I'm gone and just to kind of make sure I get out as much as possible beforehand!
