Is it true that you are naked during the body scrub & massage at a Korean Spa?

I have a gift certificate to a Korean spa in Los Angeles but after seeing some of the reviews I’m a little nervous about going. I made an appointment for a body scrub and massage. Apparently, from what I’ve read, you lie completely naked on a wet table where they use scrub mittens and scrub you everywhere including your breasts, butt crack, and your genital area. A massage on the same table follows with the same person. Has anyone ever tried this? Is it as invasive as it sounds?

That sounds pretty accurate. It’s not as bad as it sounds though.

In the bathhouse of a Korean spa, everybody’s completely naked. There are different bathhouses for men and women. Everybody is clothed in the areas of the spa where men and women are together.

If you’ve never been naked in front of a bunch of other women before, it may be a little bit of a shock, but you’ll get over it soon enough. If you think people are staring at you, try and ignore it, but odds are, nobody’s going to stare at you unless you try and cover yourself up with the tiny towel they give you.

The body scrub is an interesting and refreshing experience. Sure, it’s kind of odd at first, and it might hurt a little bit, depending on how hard the lady is scrubbing, but it’s really not that bad. If you can explain to them that it’s your first time, I’m sure they’ll be a little easier on you. They do scrub your breasts, butt crack and genital area, but they don’t really “get in there” with their scrubbing.

After the scrub and massage, your body actually feels very good. Don’t be shy and give it a try!

Ah…before you get your scrub, be sure to soak in the tubs with the hot water for a while…that might help make the dead skin come off easier.

Good luck!
