Do You Have to Get Naked for a Massage?

So, you’re about to book your first massage—or maybe you’ve been putting it off for a while—and you’re left wondering: Do I have to get naked? Well, it’s a valid question, and I’m here to help ease your nerves and clear things up. Because, trust me, I’ve been there, feeling a little awkward about what’s expected. Here’s the lowdown, and spoiler alert: there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

Let’s Start with the Basics

Massages are all about relaxation, but I get it—thinking about undressing in front of someone can make even the most seasoned wellness enthusiast feel a little uneasy. Here’s the good news: you're in control of your comfort level.

If you’re booking a traditional massage, here’s what typically happens:

• Undress to your comfort level. If you’re going for a full-body massage, many people choose to undress to their underwear, but you can always keep your undies on if that feels better.
• Privacy matters. Your therapist will step out of the room while you get settled, so you’ll have complete privacy to undress (or not).
• Sheet draping. Once you’re on the massage table, you’ll be covered with a sheet, and only the area being massaged will be exposed.

For some people, this is all part of the relaxation process. But if the idea of undressing in front of someone still feels uncomfortable, it can make the whole experience feel less zen. No worries—this is where things get interesting.

The Alternative: Aescape

If the traditional massage setup isn’t quite your vibe, or you simply prefer to stay fully clothed, there’s another option that might be just what you need: Aescape.

With Aescape, you won’t have to undress at all. Instead, you’ll change into specially designed Aescape clothing, which is comfortable and perfect for body mapping (more on that in a second!). This means you can experience a full-body massage while remaining completely clothed—no sheets, no towels, no awkwardness.

Aescape uses innovative technology to provide a highly personalized massage experience with the help of precision-crafted “Aerpoints” that simulate the hands of a skilled massage therapist. You can fully customize the intensity, pressure, and even the music, making your massage experience feel just right for your body. It’s perfect for those who want the benefits of a massage without the typical undressing routine.

Wrapping It Up

The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and relaxed. If you’re someone who prefers to stay clothed during your session, Aescape offers a great alternative that lets you enjoy all the benefits of a personalized massage without any of the stress.

So, whether you prefer the traditional massage experience or are curious about giving Aescape a try, you’re one step closer to feeling relaxed and rejuvenated—just the way you like it.
