Of all the erotic massage styles, nuru is the one people talk about with the widest grin afterwards. It is playful, intense and a little messy in the best possible way.
If you have heard the name but are not sure what actually happens, read on. By the end you will know exactly what to expect and what to ask for.
What Is Nuru Massage?
Nuru began in Japan, where the word means something close to slippery. It grew out of bathhouse culture and spread worldwide over the past two decades.
The defining ingredient is a clear gel made largely from seaweed extract and water. It has no scent, feels silky and stays slick far longer than oil.
Instead of kneading with her hands, the companion coats you both in gel and glides her body along yours: chest, stomach, thighs and arms all become part of the massage.
The result is continuous, full-length contact that feels warm, weightless and surprisingly intimate, even for guests who have had many massages before.
What Happens During a Nuru Massage Session?
She arrives, says hello and spends a few minutes chatting so you both relax. This is a good moment to mention anything you particularly like or want to avoid.
While you take a warm shower, she lays a waterproof sheet over the bed and warms the gel in a bowl of hot water from the tap.
You begin lying face down. She pours the gel over your back and legs, spreads it with her hands and then lies on top of you, sliding slowly from shoulders to feet.
After a while you turn over. The second half tends to be closer and more teasing, with face-to-face contact and long, slow glides.
Throughout, she adjusts pace and pressure to your reactions. Some guests want it gentle and dreamy, others prefer it lively; either is fine.
The session closes with a shower, often together, where the gel rinses away in a minute or two under warm water.
Nuru Massage vs Other Erotic Massage Styles
Body-to-body massage is the closest relative. It uses oil rather than gel, so contact is still full-length but with more grip and less glide.
Sensual massage relies mainly on the hands and builds slowly. It is softer and calmer, a good choice if nuru sounds too intense for a first time.
Tantra is about breathing, patience and anticipation. Where nuru is physical and playful, tantra is meditative and deliberate.
Soapy massage happens in the shower with thick foam. It shares nuru's slippery feel but in a warmer, steamier setting.
Four-hand massage brings two women instead of one, doubling the sensation; it can be done with gel too if both companions offer nuru.
Many guests mix styles across a two-hour booking, for example starting with a sensual massage and moving on to nuru once relaxed.
The Nuru Gel: What You Should Know
Good nuru gel is water-based, made with seaweed extract and sometimes aloe, and contains no fragrance or oil.
It goes on cool in the bottle, so companions warm it before use. Once on the skin it stays slippery, and a splash of water revives it if it starts to dry.
Because it is water-based, it washes off skin and hair easily and does not stain hotel linen, especially with the protective sheet underneath.
If you have very sensitive skin or any known allergies, mention it when you book so she can bring a gel that suits you.
You do not need to buy anything yourself. The companion brings the gel, the sheet and towels as part of every nuru visit.
What to Expect From a Nuru Visit Booked With Us
We only suggest companions who offer nuru and enjoy it, so you will not be paired with someone trying it for the first time.
Each one is met in person before joining our roster, which means the woman in the photos is the woman who arrives.
Visits are outcall to your hotel, apartment or home anywhere in Amsterdam, and she usually reaches you 45 to 60 minutes after confirmation.
She arrives dressed like any guest visiting a friend, with a bag holding everything she needs, and heads straight up to your room.
A single hour of nuru is EUR 180 and a double session EUR 360, with no packages or discount codes. Every woman who gives nuru for us is at least 21.
If the chemistry is right, ask for her by name next time you are in town and we will check when she is free.
Preparing for Your Nuru Massage
Check that your shower runs hot and has room for two. Hotel rain showers are ideal; a bathtub is a bonus.
Clear the bed of extra cushions and throws, and move anything delicate, like a laptop or phone charger, away from the edges.
Turn the heating up a notch. Gel and bare skin cool quickly, and a warm room makes the whole session more comfortable.
Take off watches and rings beforehand so nothing catches on the sheet or on her skin.
Dim the lights and put on a relaxed playlist if you like. Little touches like these help both of you settle in.
Finally, have a glass of water and avoid a heavy meal just before. You will be lying on your stomach for a good part of the massage.
Is Nuru Massage Right for You?
If you love close physical contact and are curious about something new, almost certainly yes. Nuru is about sensation and fun more than technique.
If you are nervous or prefer a slower build, you might start with sensual massage and save nuru for a second visit.
Couples can enjoy it too: one companion massaging both partners costs EUR 360 per hour, and two hours gives each of you proper time.
