The short answer
Foot massage: stay dressed and roll up your trousers. Full-body acupressure: change into loose clothes the shop gives you, keeping your underwear on. Oil massage: undress to your comfort level, usually keeping underwear on, and stay covered by a towel except for the part being worked on. You can always keep more on.
| Treatment | What you wear | Shower |
|---|---|---|
| Foot massage | Your own clothes, trousers rolled above the knee, or shorts the shop offers | No |
| Acupressure | Loose top and shorts from the shop, over underwear | No |
| Oil massage | Undress to your comfort, under a towel; disposable underwear at some places | Some places; ask |
| Thai massage | Loose clothes, usually provided | No |
Draping, explained
In an oil massage you lie under a large towel or sheet. The therapist uncovers one area at a time, such as your back or one leg, and covers it again before moving on. Private areas stay covered throughout. This is the standard in professional massage.

Is there somewhere to change?
If anything about undressing or draping does not feel right, you can stop, dress and leave. Safety and consent
Bring or leave
Valuables: keep them small; most places have a locker or a basket in the room. Contact lenses can stay in, though face-down time can be uncomfortable. Long hair: a hair tie helps for oil massage.
