What is the customary draping for a massage treatment in Europe?
splatterchew asked:
A couple of clients of mine told me that draping is not generally used in European spas and massage was done in the buff, but a friend of mine recently told me that was not here experience when she traveled there. She hasn’t been there in over 20 years though.

It depends on what type of massage therapy you go for. Some can be completely clothed (sports wear) and these are more physcial forms of massage
For the more traditional “lying on a bed” massage then again it depends to be honest. Some are with a sheet covering you and ideed others are naked, but you can request to wear a towel/sheet, should you wish
The best thing is to check in advance and with what you are comfortable with. It is not in the interests of a decent massuse to have you stressed out because of not being comfortable with/without clothes (defeats the point) and wanting to be more modest will not be a problem.
In Europe do not massage the trolls
It depends on you. If you are in a spa the general ettiquete is **** but if you walk in the room with a towel covering you then the massuse will think you are shy and will respect that hence the drapping, but if you walk in **** or take of your towel and not be shy the massuse will most probably not drape you.
I was in Germany and I was trying to be modest by going in the massage room with a towel and the massuse draped me but the next day I went in **** I was not draped.
When I was there it was completely **** without draping of any sort.
