Flotation therapy, also known as “sensory deprivation therapy,” has surged in popularity, with many celebrities and influencers singing its praises. This unique practice helps reduce the stress of our hectic lives, offering a temporary escape from the pressures of modern society. In just one to two hours, it delivers deep relaxation and promotes both physical and mental healing, all at an affordable price.
As you prepare for your first float therapy session, you might be curious about the details, such as what to wear inside the isolation tank. Is a swimsuit necessary? Let’s dive into this common question and more.
Beyond clothing, you might wonder what else you need to bring.
You’ll need to shower before and after your float. Most spas provide soap, shampoo, towels, and bathrobes, but you might want to bring your own toiletries if you have specific preferences. After your shower, there’s usually a lounge where you can dry your hair and get ready. If you have plans afterward, bring the makeup and products you need to prepare.
If you wear contacts, consider bringing your glasses or contact case. Wearing contacts during the float isn’t recommended as saltwater can irritate your eyes.

Feeling unprepared for your first float session? Don’t worry. Floating in a tank requires minimal preparation, but these tips can help ensure a smooth and satisfying experience:
1. Avoid stimulants a few hours before your session. Caffeine and other stimulants can make you jittery and interfere with relaxation.
2. Have a light snack beforehand. Float sessions typically last between 60 and 90 minutes. Eating about an hour before can prevent hunger, which can be distracting.
3. Don’t shave on the same day as your float. The Epsom salt solution in the tank can cause itching and discomfort.
4. Consider a massage beforehand. It can relieve body aches and tension, setting the right mood for floating.
After your float, consider enhancing your relaxation with an infrared sauna session. It’s not only relaxing but also offers numerous health benefits.
Floating in sensory deprivation tanks is a deeply relaxing and highly personalized experience. Your comfort is key, so if something makes you uncomfortable, speak up. Whether you prefer wearing a swimsuit or keeping the tank door open, your comfort is crucial to achieving a relaxing experience.
