It's OK (and recommended) to float in your "Birthday Suit"!
A common question asked by first time floaters is should I bring a swimsuit or bathing suit? The answer is no…unless you really want to. But, we recommend floating in the NUDE and here’s why:
Float Therapy is a sensory reduced experience that creates an environment for deep relaxation by reducing overstimulation and inhibiting the body's stress response. While floating, you’re reducing the sense of touch by floating nude in the skin-neutral water (93.5 - 94 degrees) and weightlessness environment created by the 1,000 lbs. of Epsom salt in the solution. Your body becomes so buoyant that you float effortlessly and feel like the line between your body and the water has been erased.
To aid in this sensory reduced experience, we recommend floating in nothing but your birthday suit! Don't worry - your privacy is maintained at all times. Each float pod is in a private room with an individual shower and all the amenities you’ll need during your session. You have full control over the door lock, room lighting, and pod doors so you can relax and unwind in a safe & peaceful environment.
But, your comfort is of utmost importance. You are in total control of your float experience so if you feel like it may be hard for you to relax in the nude you are welcome to wear a swimsuit during the session. We recommend a swimsuit that is not too tight, uncomfortable or has any metal clasps, buckles, or zippers (since salt can be corrosive). Be aware that a swimsuit will collect salt during the float session so make sure, if you choose to wear one, you bring a bag and rinse out the suit after your session. You should also let the swimsuit soak in water for 30 minutes to an hour once your get home, just to ensure all residual salts have been removed from the fabric. You can then wash it like normal.
Either way, rest assured that you’ll be given complete privacy during the session and you’re in full control of the experience. Ready to relax, unwind and float away?! Book your session with us today!
