What is a massage outfit?

A massage outfit is a special garment that enhances the comfort of the treatment for both parties – the patient and the masseur. It is an indispensable part of the equipment of every SPA cabinet and beauty salon.

Benefits of using a massage costume

Both the client and the masseur can expect benefits. For the patient, these mainly include: 

• Hygiene. Using clean, disinfected attire minimizes the risk of transferring bacteria and ensures a high standard of hygiene during the massage.
• Optimization of effects. The costume increases the efficiency of the massage, especially when a massager (e.g., dermomassage) is used.
• Privacy and safety. The attire enhances the patient's sense of privacy and security. It's a great option for people who are shy about their bodies, and for whom direct touch by the masseur is uncomfortable.
• Comfort and ease of movement. Specialized massage attire provides comfort and allows for easy movement. This is especially important for techniques that require active participation from the patient.

 Meanwhile, the massage specialist will certainly appreciate: 

• Greater freedom of action. Since the client will not be constrained by nudity, it will be easier for the masseur to perform their service.

• Easier cleaning. The attires are easy to wash and dry quickly, making it easier to maintain impeccable cleanliness in the salon.

• Maintaining a professional image. Massage costumes are not only about comfort and hygiene but also about good looks, especially when combined with a company logo.

 The clothing is reusable, and after the treatment, it just needs to be thrown into the laundry. It does not shed, is made of high-quality material, and even protects against pinching and mechanical injuries. You can read more specifications by selecting the appropriate costume and going to the subpage with a specific product.

Types of Massage for Which the Attire is Recommended

The attire is recommended for various types of massage. But especially for those that require movement and specific body positions from the patient. For example: 

• Vacuum Massage. Also known as negative pressure therapy, it is a massage technique that uses devices to create a vacuum on the skin and subcutaneous tissues.
• Thai Massage. It is performed on a floor mat, and the client is dressed in loose, comfortable clothing that allows for freedom of movement. Massage attire for Thai massage facilitates performing stretches and assisted yoga positions.

• Shiatsu. Similarly, as in Thai massage, in shiatsu, wearing loose, comfortable clothing is recommended. Shiatsu massage focuses on pressing the meridian points in the body, which often requires moving over the body and assuming various positions.

• Reflexology. During reflexology, where the treated areas are the feet, hands, and ears, the client can remain fully clothed. Loose attire is recommended so that the therapist can easily manipulate the areas being massaged.

• Relaxation and Wellness Massage. Here too, loose, comfortable clothing is recommended. Although in some cases the client may be asked to undress for massages using oils, in forms like aromatherapy or gentle relaxation massage, clothing remains on the body.

• Sports Massage. For sports massage, the attire is more specific and depends on the area of the body that requires therapy.

 Appropriately chosen clothing works well in practically every type of massage. The exception is treatments that require direct contact with the patient's skin, e.g., using therapeutic oils.

Is a Massage Costume Necessary?

The attire is not an absolute necessity for either the patient or the masseur. Nonetheless, it's worth having. Using a dedicated costume helps maintain hygiene. The attires are easy to clean, and thanks to disinfection, they minimize the risk of transferring bacteria and other pathogens. It improves the overall massage experience and makes the client more likely to return to the beauty salon.

How to Care for Treatment Clothing?

To maintain hygiene, appearance, and durability of the costume, it should be properly cared for. Regularly wash the attires, preferably after each use, to prevent the accumulation of bacteria and unpleasant odors. Use gentle detergents and avoid bleach, which can damage the material. Usually, washing at a temperature no higher than 30-40°C is recommended, unless the label advises otherwise. It's best to dry the attire flat or on a hanger, in a well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight. Store the attires in a dry, airy place to prevent mold. Avoid folding too tightly and storing in humid rooms. Try to fold or hang the attires in a way that avoids deep creases that can affect the appearance. In case of intense use, consider using fabric-safe disinfectants.

How to Choose the Right Attire for Yourself?

A few tips on how to choose the best massage attire. For both clients and masseurs. 

1. Start by determining the type of massage to be performed. For Thai massage, shiatsu, or other techniques that require movement and flexibility, looser garments work best. Conversely, for something like sports massage, it's better to opt for costumes that fit closely to the body.
2. Next, decide which material will be best for you. Choose materials that breathe well to ensure comfort during the treatment. Also, opt for those that stretch well and conform to body movements. Antimicrobial properties and the ability to be frequently washed and dried are also significant.
3. Finally, consider the issue of appearance and aesthetics. Seamless clothes not only increase comfort but also look better. The attire should reflect the aesthetics of the place where it is used. A great move is to add the logo of the beauty salon or clinic.
