Soapy massage in Amsterdam, and the bathroom you come back to
Soapy massage starts in the bathroom, with hot water and a thick foam, and moves to the bed afterwards. It is the one format on this site that depends on the bathroom you come back to, so it rewards a guest who knows his room and has returned in good time. After a dinner, when the evening ended early and nobody is in a hurry, it is a lively and playful booking. After a long night in a club, when the bathroom floor is the last place a tired guest should be, it is better saved for another evening.
Origins
Soapy massage grew out of Japanese bathhouse culture, where washing was a social ritual as much as a practical one. The foam-based version kept the idea of washing as the opening of the session and added the massage that follows. It has travelled a long way from its origins but kept the bathroom at its centre.
The technique
Soap is worked into a stiff lather first, because thin suds do nothing useful. She uses the foam as the medium of the massage, with long, broad movements over the whole body. Water temperature is kept high, and the move from bathroom to bed is made while the body is still warm. What the session includes is hers to decide.
What to expect
She asks in the thread whether the room has a bath or a shower with space to stand, because that decides how the session opens. When she arrives, the water is run hot and the soap is worked into a dense foam. She states her limits before anything starts. The first part happens under the water or in the bath, slowly and warmly; the second part moves to the bed with towels laid out. A final rinse and dry close the session.
Who it suits
Guests with a good bathroom who came back from dinner in good time. Guests who want the evening to end on a playful note. It suits less well a guest who has had a lot to drink or who is staying in a room with a cramped shower.
Benefits
Hot water relaxes the body before any massage begins, and the foam makes every movement smooth. It is a more playful format than the oil-based ones, and suits a guest who wants the end of the evening to feel lively rather than hushed.
Length
Ninety minutes at 270 euros is the right length, because the bathroom part takes time and the session should not hurry through it. Two hours at 360 gives the bathroom part all the time it wants. Sixty minutes is possible but feels short.

Questions
Asked before the booking goes out
How do I know if my bathroom will do?
A bath, or a shower with enough room for two people to stand, is enough. Describe it in a line in your message and she will tell you whether the format fits the room.
Is it a good idea after a club night?
Usually not. A wet floor and a tired guest are a poor combination. An oil format suits the end of a club night far better, and soapy is well worth saving for an earlier evening.
Does she bring the soap and towels?
Yes. She brings everything the session needs, so nothing from the hotel bathroom is used beyond the water.
How long should I book?
Ninety minutes at 270 euros. The bathroom part takes time, and the session is better for not being rushed.
