Bathtub or walk-in shower: what the bathroom of an airport room decides for a Schiphol hotel massage
For most bookings the bathroom hardly matters: you shower before she arrives and that is that. For three formats it matters a great deal. Nuru ends with a rinse, soapy massage starts with one, and body to body is often chosen precisely because it needs no rinse at all. Knowing which bathroom you have is the quickest way to choose between them.
The bath with a shower over it
The most common arrangement in older airport hotels is a tub with a shower head above it and a curtain or half screen. For soapy massage that is a good bathroom: there is water to sit in, room to work with foam, and a rim to lean against. For nuru it is workable but awkward, because stepping in and out of a tub when slippery calls for care. Lay a towel on the floor beside the bath before the session begins.
The walk-in shower
Newer rooms near the terminal often have a level shower behind a single glass panel, sometimes with a wide rain head. This is the bathroom that suits nuru most easily, since the rinse at the end needs space to stand and turn and a floor that is flush with the rest of the room. Soapy massage works here too, standing rather than sitting. The nuru page explains why the rinse is part of that format rather than an afterthought.
The narrow cubicle
Compact rooms often have a glass box a little wider than your shoulders. One person can wash in it comfortably; two cannot do much more than bump elbows. In a room like this, choose a format that leaves the shower to you alone. Body to body uses oil instead of gel and needs nothing rinsed away, which makes it the natural choice when the bathroom is tight.
How to describe it in the thread
One line does it. Say whether there is a bath, a walk-in shower or a cubicle, and roughly how wide the shower is. If you are not sure, look before you write rather than guessing from the hotel's photographs, which tend to show the largest room in the building. With that line, the reply can say plainly whether nuru or soapy massage makes sense, or suggest another format.
Hot water on the upper floors
In big hotels, hot water can take a while to reach the top floors late in the evening. For a format that depends on the bathroom, run the tap for a short while before she arrives so the first rinse is warm. Leave a dry towel within reach of the door of the shower.
What stays the same
The bathroom changes the choice of format, never the figure: each length costs what her profile states, and a room near the airport is confirmed with half of it ahead. The body to body page describes the format that suits any bathroom.
