When it comes to spa days, there's no reason why you should miss out just because you're on your period. With the right healthcare solutions and clothing, you can still enjoy all the spa facilities and treatments. When receiving a massage, you'll be asked to remove your underwear and you'll usually be given a plastic thong. To make sure you're comfortable, it's best to use a tampon or menstrual cup while in the spa.
They will also cover you with a sheet or towel. Many women enjoy the relaxation of hot water in a bath. It can relieve cramps and make your back feel less sore. You can add some aromatherapy oils to your bath water to help you relax and ease some of the jitters in your emotional state.
Fluctuating hormones during your period can make you feel irritable or sad, and a good warm bath during your period can do wonders for your mood. The day is easy; you'll spend most of your day in a dressing gown and swimsuit or in a bikini. Add gym clothes and shoes for exercise sessions, plus a warm fleece lining and a pair of loose-fitting pants for outdoor walking. If you've ever tried swimming during your period without using any feminine care products, you've probably noticed that your period stops temporarily when you're in the water.
At some dedicated spa retreats, it's OK to wear baggy pants and a t-shirt, but if you're staying at a hotel with a spa, the hotel's restaurants will have their own dress code. Perhaps most importantly, when it comes to your spa treatments, don't hesitate to ask a therapist for advice or if they can adapt your treatment. Most spas offer the use of changing rooms and lockers so you can leave your things there while taking a last bath. Given the relevant healthcare solutions, there's no reason you shouldn't use all of the spa facilities during your period.
You should not wear outdoor shoes near damp and thermal facilities, as guests will walk barefoot in these areas. Spas want their guests to be as comfortable as possible, so wearing non-restrictive clothing such as yoga pants, lounge pants, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies is recommended at most resorts.If you choose to use a tampon or cup in the shower, you may not be able to clean yourself as thoroughly as you would like. If you swim during your period without using any feminine care products, water pressure may temporarily lower your flow, but it won't stop it completely. Some women prefer not to use a tampon while in the shower to clear the vagina, while others feel uncomfortable with blood that may come out.Beauty salons may not provide robes or towels for guests on their period, but that's because they don't have wet facilities or relaxation space outside the treatment room.
If you're a woman on the big side, rest assured that spa robes are usually cut very generously, and there must be plenty of tunics for you.The whole spa experience is about pampering and time for me, and that is shortened if you have to get dressed and go out immediately after a treatment.
