I have a massage appointment tonight, and every single time, I have the same hesitation: Should or shouldn't I keep on my panties.

  • I do bra off, undies on!
    I wonder if some people keep their bras? I can't see how it wouldn't get in the way and be all oily
  • I do bra off, undies on!

    This! And as someone who used to give massages (in a clinical setting), I would suggest this way.

  • I went totally nakie my first time and the massage therapist walked in was like "Whoaaaa." Awkward....So yeah now I keep my undies on.. You can always ask though.

  • I always wear thongs and I find it kind of awkward to be on the table with a thong.

    Do you think it makes a difference if the therapist comes to your home and uses fresh, clean sheets on the table each time? I'd be interested since you have experience!

    Whether it's in a clinic or in a home they should always be using fresh sheets. They don't expose you or anything, but I liked having the elastic of the underwear to hold the sheet in place when I was working on the glutes, for example. Then there's no worries of the sheet slipping and exposing more than what should be! I've also had massage therapists "tuck in" to my underwear for the same reason, so it's not an abnormal practice, IMO.

  • Braf off, undies and yoga pants stay on if back only.

    Trying to have baby #1 since April 2013

    DH SA March,May 2014 - Low motility and shape issues. On vitamins per RE to help

    Me testing April 3, 2014 - FSH and LH good, HSG showed blocked right tube

    April 29, 2014 - First RE appt., right tube needs to be removed and possibly left also if

    it's bad too. RE suggests going straight to IVF

    June 4, 2014 - LAP/HSC and unexpected endo. removed but tubes got to stay!

    June 13, 2014 - Post-Op appointment. We decide where to go next since main issue

    is MFI influenced. Trying naturally until decision... Repeat SA  in September. Aiming for IUI #1 November 2014.

    Same here.

    And when I went to get my moles checked, I felt really awkward when she had to move my thong. I wasn't expecting a full body check.

    This. I wear thongs and find that it helps keep the sheet in place because the massage therapist tucks it in.

  • I hate massages and can't stand the feeling of someone other than DH rubbing me like that.
    I used to be like that too. The more I went* the less awkward and good it felt.

    *I'm lucky that my health insurance covers it

    Huh.....My guy has been coming to the house and working on me for years and never had a tucking issue without underwear but I can see how it would be a good place to hold the sheet. Interesting!

    FWIW, at my first appointment, he told me basically I could wear as much or as little as I felt comfortable wearing and he would work around it.

    We can work around anything!

    Same here.  I figure the thong is practically like I'm not wearing any, so why bother taking it off.  It's not like they need to get down there to work on me...unless that's the type of massage you're going for...
  • I always just leave my panties on, and I always wear a thong.  I have had massages where they massaged by butt as well, but the thong didn't get in the way.  I just feel less naked in my thong, it's probably a mental thing.

    Same. Not a professional one anyway.
    OMG. Go, ASAP.

    I take it alll off. I am actually kind of surprised that people wear underwears while getting massages.

    This post just got me really excited because on Sunday I'm getting a massage and a facial and I couldn't be more excited!

    I'm with you! Except I don't even want my husband to massage me.
    Fucking bump!!!!
  • I've only had one, but I did bra off, undies on since I had my period at the time.  I think I would leave undies on regardless though.
  • I keep my underwear on.  I've had some tuck the blankets in the waistband to keep them out of the way, but not everyone does that. 

    I'm glad I kept them on, because I had one massage where the girl flipped the sheets up too far when she was doing my thigh.  Personally, I would have felt really weird if she saw my vag and was thankful for my underwear, but that's just me.

    I hate getting my thighs massaged. It always weirds me out to have someone rubs my cellulite

  • I take everything but my undies off. They don't massage any area that's covered by the undies anyway so it's more comfortable for me.
  • Massage in a studio- underpants

    Massage in my home- naked

    Undies off, they just get in the way of that lower back/upper butt  and hip/thigh area.  I'd be more embarassed if the masseuse had to pull and reposition my underwear.
    I always kept my undies on at first and took them off last time for this exact reason.

  • Totally nekkid every time. I don't want anything obstructing the flow of their hands.
  • I take it all off as well. Also, butt massages are the shit.
  • I take off my bra and leave my underwear on.

  • Bra off, undies on. Every massage I've been to I've been told everything off but the undies. They usually tuck the blanket in to hold it there. This thread is making me really want to go for one... it's been too long.

                              

  • Another massage virgin here. I don't even know where I'd get such a thing here. Small town problems, yo.

  • I keep my underwear on, and the place I go keeps your lower half under a really soft, warm blanket until it's time to do the legs, and then she just folds the blanket over for each leg individually.

    Same.

    We had a couples massage from these masseuses from Bali on our honeymoon to St Lucia in May- oh my gawd. It was wonderful. It was H first massage so I'm glad he had such a great first experience. My first was for my bachelorette- and the woman left bruises on my shoulder blades :/ I think she was trying to like, break them off my body... Wasn't a fan of that place. My birthday is Sunday, maybe ill treat myself ;)
  • SS: I pretty much am totally naked unless I'm on my period, then I wear undies. 

    Gluteal massages are amazing.
