Go to a hair dresser and get your hair washed! Usually not super expensive and it feels sooo good and you walk out feeling refreshed without stress
You could always treat yourself to an Egyptian cotton robe and slippers and stuff to give yourself a pamper. Alternatively what I did was download a decision making app and put different treatments I could give myself like manicure, pedicure, eyebrows and aim to do that at least every other day
Facial, hair, nails, eyebrows, are things you can done without undressing. But I also wanna say- masseuses have seen it ALL. Men, women, hairy, bumpy, cellulite, big, small, toned, flabby. They would’ve massaged a thousand people in their career and you’d be surprised how many of them are bigger than you are, mama. It’s all in our heads, the self criticism and insecurity. They don’t care 💁🏻♀️ they’re purely doing their job and giving you a massage. So in saying that if you need a massage just go get one. You don’t have to take off your bra or knickers, and the towel stays covered on your butt and legs at all times until it’s time for the legs then they’ll move the towel up. I get one monthly. A remedial deep tissue massage for my knots. After strangers have seen my vagina in the labour room I think all dignity has gone out the window once we become mums 😂
I totally get wanting some self-care without the pressure of undressing for massages or swimming. ClassPass has a ton of options for nail salons and facials that could be perfect for some pampering while maintaining your comfort. If you’re interested, I can refer you so you get credit for your first month to try out some great spots!
