How to Undress at a Tanning Bed

It is important to get into the bed before the timer runs out.

Most people choose to tan in the nude to avoid tan lines and because tanning beds are both private and sanitary. When using a tanning bed, it is important to undress within the time allowed before the bed turns on. You may also need to apply tanning lotion or set up music during the few minutes you have, so it is important to undress quickly and efficiently.

Instructions

1. Beware of tanning-bed cameras before you undress. Some people have fallen victim to hidden cameras in the tanning salon, which employees used to watch them get undressed. Look around for a camera while you undress, and don't take your clothes off completely if you do, or better yet, leave, demand a refund, and call the police.

2. Take off your outer layers, like a jacket or scarf, and hang them up. Take off your shoes and place them neatly where they won't get anything else dirty.

3. Take off your clothes, fold them, and put them on a table. If there is no table, drape them over your coat. Don't hang any delicate fabrics directly on the metal hooks. Keep you eye on the timer on the bed, as it counts down, and undress faster if you are running out of time.

4. Take off your undergarments and fold them into, or place them inside, your pants or shirt. This keeps them clean and stops the spread of germs. If you don't want to get completely undressed, wear your undergarments in the bed or wear a bathing suit.

5. Tie up your hair and apply tanning lotion or sunscreen. It is not recommended that you go into the booth without anything on your skin. Lotions can prevent you from burning if you go into the bed for longer than you should.
