Should You Wear Underwear During a Massage in the UK?

Do you need to remove your underwear for a massage? No. Whether you are booking a Swedish massage, a full-body relaxing treatment or a back massage, you should be able to discuss your clothing preferences with the therapist before the appointment begins.

Professional therapists should explain the treatment, use appropriate draping and respect your personal boundaries. Should You Keep Your Underwear On? For most conventional oil-based massages, clients are asked to undress only to the level they feel comfortable with. Many people keep their underwear on, particularly during their first appointment. Others prefer to remove more clothing beneath a towel or sheet. The important distinction is that being undressed does not mean being uncovered. Underwear can sometimes limit access to parts of the lower back or hips, but a therapist should adapt the treatmen...
