Comfortable, loose clothing is usually the simplest choice. The important detail is the confirmed changing and draping protocol at your chosen branch.

The Short Answer

Wear something loose and easy to change out of. You should be told what to remove, what stays on, and how you will be draped before the oil is applied.

There is no single outfit that every spa requires. Your comfort and privacy matter more than a dress code. If the booking information is unclear, ask the branch directly and note the answer before arriving.

Clothing, Changing, Draping, and Comfort

  • Choose ease: Loose trousers, shorts, a soft dress or a roomy top are practical choices. Avoid complicated fastenings and anything you would not want exposed to oil.
  • Pack a spare: A light change of clothes can make the journey home simpler, especially if you prefer not to leave with any oil on your outfit.
  • Ask before changing: The therapist or front desk should explain where to change, where to place your belongings and which areas remain covered.
  • Speak up: You can request more draping, a different position, less oil, a towel or a pause at any time.

What to expect at the branch: Changing rooms, towels, showers and disposable garments differ by branch and may change. Treat this article as general preparation guidance, then confirm the details with the team handling your appointment.

What to Ask the Branch

  • What should I bring or wear for this oil massage?
  • What exactly is the changing and draping arrangement?
  • Is a shower or towel available after the session?
  • Which oil is currently stocked, and is an unscented option available?

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to undress completely?

Not necessarily. The confirmed draping protocol should keep you covered except for the area being worked on. Ask the branch what to expect before your visit.

What should I wear to and from the appointment?

Choose loose, easy-to-wash clothing. Natural fibres and a relaxed waistband can feel more comfortable if a little oil remains on the skin.

Can I keep my underwear on?

Many venues allow this, but the exact arrangement is a branch protocol. Tell the therapist what you are comfortable with and ask for clarification before changing.

What if I am worried about oil on my clothes?

Bring a change of clothing or ask whether the branch provides a disposable layer. Do not rely on an unconfirmed laundry or shower facility.

Should I mention allergies or scent sensitivity?

Yes. Share known sensitivities during booking and again at check-in. Ask which product is currently stocked and request an unscented option if available.
