Guests who have read a little about adult massage usually arrive at the same crossroads. Oil, gel or soap? The three names sound like variations on one idea, and in a sense they are, since all three use broad full-length contact rather than hands alone. In the room, though, they feel very different, need different things from the space and suit different evenings. Comparing body to body vs nuru vs soapy properly means looking at the medium, where the session takes place, the sensation, the setup, the ideal length and, on a roster like ours, which women give which. This guide does all six, then finishes with advice on combining them and choosing by situation.
Body to body vs nuru vs soapy at a glance
- Body to body. Medium: warm massage oil. Place: the bed. Feel: warm, gliding, gently weighted, with a little natural drag. Setup: a few minutes. Best length: sixty to ninety minutes, or longer. Given by all fifteen women.
- Nuru. Medium: a clear, water-soluble gel made from seaweed extract. Place: a protected bed, then the shower. Feel: frictionless, enveloping, unlike anything else. Setup: longer, with a waterproof sheet and warmed gel. Best length: ninety minutes or more. Given by eleven women.
- Soapy. Medium: thick lather and hot water. Place: the bathroom, with an optional second act on the bed. Feel: bright, playful, cleansing, alternating warm foam and clear rinse. Setup: checking water and footing. Best length: an hour, or longer as a double bill. Given by eleven women.
The oil session: body to body
Body to body is the signature on our wall and the base the other two build on. The woman warms oil slightly above skin temperature, spreads it thinly and uses her forearms, torso and weight in long, overlapping passes. Because oil leaves a trace of friction, every stroke has texture; you can feel where she is and how she moves, which makes the session intimate in a familiar, readable way. Pressure comes from leaning rather than pushing, so it reads as calm depth rather than work. The session opens with ordinary handwork and widens gradually into full-length contact. It asks almost nothing of the room: a bed, warmth and a shower afterwards. For most first bookings it is the one we recommend, and the signature session page goes into it in more depth.
The gel session: nuru
Nuru swaps oil for a transparent gel originally developed in Japan from seaweed extract. The gel holds warmth well and produces almost no friction, so the woman can travel the whole length of you in strokes that simply do not stop. Guests reach for the same description again and again: being poured over. The absence of drag changes how the brain processes touch, since there is nothing precise to track, only warmth and motion, and many people find the letting-go deeper than with oil. The trade-off is preparation. A waterproof sheet goes over the bed first, the room needs to be properly warm, the gel is heated and tested, and the session ends with a shared shower in which the gel rinses away without residue. It is the most distinctive of the three and rewards guests who already know ordinary massage well. Read more on the nuru session page.
The lather session: soapy
Soapy begins at the taps rather than the bed. She checks water temperature and footing, builds a thick lather from a mild soap she brings herself, and works it across you with flat palms and her body in long, slippery passes, rinsing and rebuilding in a rhythm of foam and warm water. The sensation is lighter and livelier than oil or gel, less trance and more refreshment, and the constant change keeps the skin awake. Much of the session happens standing or seated, which surprises guests who expect to lie down throughout. It is the natural choice after a long flight or a sweaty day, and it pairs well with a second act of oil on the bed. Details are on the soapy session page.
What your room needs for each
All three work in Amsterdam hotel rooms and apartments, but each leans on a different part of the space.
- Body to body needs a bed with a little room around it, heating turned up slightly and a shower for afterwards. Almost every room qualifies, including small canal-house singles.
- Nuru needs the same bed, protected by her waterproof sheet, a warmer room than usual because gel cools on skin, and a shower large enough for two people to rinse off comfortably.
- Soapy needs reliable hot water that stays hot for twenty minutes or more, and enough bathroom floor for two people to move safely. A bathtub is lovely but optional; a walk-in shower works perfectly well.
If you are unsure whether your bathroom suits a soapy or nuru session, describe it in the thread. A compact shower cabinet in an older canal house might steer us toward oil, while a hotel rain shower opens every option.
Who gives which: the roster split
This is where a roster-first approach pays off. Rather than choosing a format and accepting whoever is free, you can see which women give what and choose accordingly.
- All three sessions (seven women): Danielle, Lea and Milena, plus the conventionally trained Angelika, Jasmin, Liana and Molly. These are the most flexible names for anyone undecided or planning to mix formats.
- Oil and gel, not lather (four women): Bianka, Karolina, Lucie and Nora. Bianka and Karolina are our first suggestions for a guest trying nuru for the first time.
- Oil and lather, not gel (four women): Cindy, Laura, Luna and Violetta. These are also the slow, unhurried temperaments on the roster, so their soapy sessions tend to be gentle rather than brisk.
Everyone gives body to body, so if a woman's portrait is what draws you, she can always give the signature session even if the other two are not on her menu.
Combining textures in one booking
With two hours, you do not have to choose just one. The order matters, though, because each medium affects the next.
- Soapy, then body to body: the classic double bill. The lather cleans and wakes the skin, you dry off, and warm oil on the bed finishes the evening in calm. Suits Angelika, Danielle, Jasmin, Lea, Liana, Milena, Molly, Cindy, Laura, Luna and Violetta.
- Body to body, then nuru: oil first to settle the body, then the gel once you are relaxed enough to enjoy something unfamiliar, finishing in the shower. Suits the eleven nuru women.
- Nuru, then oil: less common, since the gel must be fully rinsed first, which interrupts the flow. We usually suggest the other order.
Mention a combination in your first message so she packs everything needed for both.
How each texture leaves you afterwards
The hour after a session matters when you are choosing, because it decides what the rest of your evening can be.
- After oil: skin soft with a faint sheen even after the shower, limbs heavy, and a strong pull toward sleep. Book it when the bed is your next destination anyway.
- After gel: skin unusually smooth once rinsed, a floating calm that lasts well into the following hour, and a little less drowsiness than oil tends to bring. Good for a late evening you still want to enjoy quietly.
- After lather: fresh, awake and clean, with no residue at all. It is the one texture that suits a dinner reservation or a night out afterwards.
Where sensual and four hands fit
Two more sessions share our wall and sometimes enter this comparison. The sensual session uses oil like body to body but lightens the weight and slows the pace, so it is best understood as the gentlest reading of the oil texture rather than a fourth medium. Four hands is not a texture at all but a pairing: two of the seven women who work in pairs give it together in oil or gel, and it doubles the contact of whichever medium you pick. The four-hand session page lists how a pair is cast.
Which to choose, by situation
- First booking with us: body to body. It shows the core of what we do without any unfamiliar preparation.
- Just off a long flight: soapy, or soapy followed by oil if you have two hours.
- Experienced with massage and curious: nuru, booked for ninety minutes so the gel has time to work its effect.
- Very tired and wanting sleep afterwards: body to body with one of the slow women, Cindy, Laura or Luna.
- Small hotel room with a basic shower: body to body, which needs the least from the space.
- Two women together: body to body or nuru; four-hand soapy is rarely practical in an ordinary bathroom.
Price, whichever texture you choose
The texture never changes the rate. One woman costs €180 for an hour, €360 for two and €540 for three, whether she arrives with oil, gel or soap, and a pair from the roster is €360 an hour. Book the full night, eight hours, for €1,250. Oils, gel, soap, waterproof sheet, linens and towels are all included, as is her travel to any central address. You pay once, in the room, on arrival, by cash in any major currency, card or crypto, and the full card is on the prices page. Choose the texture that suits your evening, then the woman who suits the texture, and send the message.
