What to Wear in a Float Tank: Essential Tips for Your Comfort

What you wear in a float tank can significantly influence your comfort and the overall effectiveness of the experience. At Infinity Float, we understand the importance of making each floating session a tranquil and transformative journey. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned floater, this guide will help you prepare effectively for your upcoming float appointment.

Go bare or wear a bathing suit?

When it comes to floating in a sensory deprivation tank, many newcomers wonder whether they should wear a swimsuit or not. The answer largely depends on your personal preference and comfort level. If you prefer to wear some clothing in the float tanks, a swimsuit is acceptable. However, keep in mind that anything touching your skin might cause a distraction while you're floating.

Floating naked: Why we recommend it 

At Infinity Float, every sensory deprivation tank room is completely private, ensuring your security throughout the session. Thus, we suggest not wearing a bathing suit so that you have as little sensory stimulation on your body as possible. This will allow you to experience more seamless buoyancy, deeper relaxation and relief from muscle tension, and greater physical and mental health benefits.

Best swimwear choices for your float session

If you decide to wear a swimsuit for your sensory deprivation tank experience, choose one that is comfortable on your skin, without any embellishments that could distract from the deep relaxation process. Here are some bathing suit suggestions:

• Swim shorts for men: Choose simple, form-fitting swim shorts to avoid any discomfort caused by bulky material.

• One-piece swimsuit for women: A simple one-piece bathing suit is ideal as it provides coverage without complicating the relaxing floating experience.

• Two-piece swimsuits: If you prefer a two-piece, ensure it's well-fitted and free of ties or strings that could interfere with your sensory deprivation experience.

Prepping for your float experience

Preparing for your sensory deprivation tank session involves more than just deciding what to wear. Here are some tips to help you get ready:

• Use our shower before your session: We require all guests to clean off well in the private shower of their room before entering the float tank to ensure that the Epsom salt solution is not contaminated.

• Avoid stimulants: Refrain from drinking coffee or other stimulants that can hinder your ability to relax in the floats.

• Contact lenses: If you usually wear contacts, remove them before entering the float tank to attain the most relaxing experience possible.
