If you’ve never had a professional massage before, you may be wondering: “Do I have to get naked?” or “Should I take off my underwear during a massage?”
This is one of the most common questions new clients ask — and the answer is simple: it’s completely up to you.
At Las Vegas Integrative Medicine, your comfort, privacy, and safety always come first.
🌿 Do You Have to Be Naked for a Massage?
- No. You undress to your comfort level.
- Some clients prefer to remove all clothing for a full-body experience.
- Others keep underwear or lightweight clothing on — and that’s perfectly okay.
You will always be professionally draped with a sheet or blanket, so only the area being worked on is exposed.
🩲 What About Underwear?
- Many clients choose to leave underwear on.
- If specific techniques (like gluteal massage or lymphatic drainage) require access to areas covered by underwear, your therapist will discuss it with you beforehand.
- At no point will you ever be required to remove undergarments.
🪷 Why Draping Matters
Professional massage therapists follow strict draping protocols to ensure you feel safe and respected:
- Only the area being massaged is uncovered.
- Your body remains covered at all times.
- You are always in control — you can ask to stop or adjust draping at any point.
💎 Your Comfort = The Priority
Here’s the bottom line:
- You’re in charge of what you wear (or don’t wear).
- You’ll always be covered and respected.
- The massage will be just as effective whether you keep your underwear on or remove it.
✅ Key Takeaway
You never have to be naked during a massage unless you feel comfortable. A professional therapist will respect your boundaries, ensure you’re fully draped, and adjust the session to your comfort level.
