What To Do If Your Spa Robe Is Too Small

Ah, the spa robe – a symbol of relaxation, comfort, and pampering, right? But what happens when that fluffy dream turns into a snug nightmare?



Yep, we’ve all been there: the spa robe that barely wraps around you, leaving you feeling more exposed than it does embraced. Fear not, fellow spa-lover! As a regular spa-goer , here are my top tips for navigating robes that are too small:







What To Do If Your Spa Robe Is Too Small



1. Speak Up: Don’t suffer in silence! Most spas are more than happy to provide a different robe size if they have one. Politely let the staff at the front desk or locker room know about the issue as soon as you can. They’ll likely have a range of sizes available to ensure everyone feels comfortable. If it helps, you can call up in advance to find out what size robes they have, too.



2. Get Creative: If a larger robe isn’t available, get creative with the one you have. Here are some tricks:




The Wrap and Tuck:  Try turning your robe on its side and wrapping it around you, without using the arms. You can secure it with the sash, if possible.



The Double Belt:  If the sash is too short, use a hair tie or your own belt to secure the robe instead.



The Strategic Drape:  Feeling a bit chilly? Drape the robe over your shoulders like a shawl for extra coverage.




3. Channel Your Inner Creativeness: In a pinch, you can even improvise with your own clothes. A scarf, sarong, or even a large beach towel can be used to cover up at the spa.



4. Embrace the Bare Minimum: If all else fails, and you’re feeling comfortable enough, simply skip the robe altogether. Most spa treatments are done with minimal clothing anyway, so chances are are you won’t need it. If you’re worried it may be a requirement, call ahead to check.



5. Be a Changemaker: While most spas offer a limited range of robe sizes, you can be a voice for change! Politely suggest to the spa management that they consider offering a wider variety of sizes to cater to all body types.



Remember, a spa experience should be all about relaxation and feeling your best. Don’t let a too-small robe ruin your day. With a little resourcefulness and a positive attitude, you can turn this minor hiccup into a relaxing experience – and maybe even inspire some positive changes at your favourite spa!



Bonus Tip: If you’re planning a spa trip and you have enough space in your suitcase, consider bringing your own robe in a size that you know fits well. That way, you can guarantee a comfy and confident spa experience from start to finish. I’ve shared where to get some comfy plus size robes here.



I hope this helps you conquer the too-small-robe challenge and have a fantastic spa day!
