Soapy Massage: What It Is and How It Compares to Nuru

A soapy massage is a body to body massage done with warm soapy water, usually on an air mattress, with the masseuse washing you and gliding over you rather than using her hands alone.

A soapy massage is a wash and a massage at the same time. You are soaped from head to foot, then she uses her whole body rather than just her hands, sliding over you on a mattress or a mat while the lather does the work. It is warm, slippery and surprisingly relaxing, and it usually ends with being rinsed off properly.

Where it comes from

The format is Thai, where soapy massage parlours have been a fixture of Bangkok for decades, usually built around a tub, an air mattress and a long wash. The Japanese version, done with gel rather than soap, is nuru. Both reached London through the massage scene rather than through spas.

What happens in one

  • A shower or a soak first. The point is that you are already clean and warm before anything starts.
  • Soaping. She lathers you, often sitting you on a stool, which takes longer than you would expect and is half the pleasure of it.
  • The mattress. You lie down, she glides over you, front and back, using her body for pressure and contact.
  • Rinsing. You finish clean, which is one of the quiet advantages over an oil massage.

Soapy, nuru or body to body?

Soapy uses water and lather, so it rinses away completely and needs a bathroom you can both use. Nuru uses a thick, odourless gel that glides better and lasts longer, but needs a waterproof sheet and a good shower afterwards. Body to body uses warm oil, needs only towels, and is the easiest of the three to do at a hotel. Our body to body guide covers that one.

Booking one in London

A true soapy massage needs a bathroom set up for it, so it is an incall arrangement rather than something she brings to your hotel. Few London escorts have the room for the full Thai version; what most offer is the nearest equivalent, a shower together and then a body to body or nuru massage, which gets you most of the way there.

Tell the concierge what you are picturing and we will be honest about who can do it properly. Start from our erotic massage in London page, or erotic massage near me to see who is closest to you. An hour is enough, ninety minutes is better, because the wash itself eats into the clock.

Soapy uses water and lather and rinses away completely. Nuru uses a thick odourless gel that glides better and lasts longer but needs a waterproof sheet and a shower afterwards.

Not properly. It needs a bathroom set up for it, so it works at her place. For a hotel, a body to body massage with oil is the practical choice.

An hour works, ninety minutes is better. The washing is a real part of it and takes time you would otherwise spend on the massage.

No. A traditional Thai massage is dry, clothed stretching and pressure. Soapy massage is the Bangkok parlour format, which is a different thing entirely.
