A first sensual massage visit starts long before anyone touches you. It starts with the phone call, the drive to Northenden and the moment a door closes behind you in a room lit pink or blue.
Most people are not worried about the massage itself. They are worried about the ten minutes before it. Where do I go? What do I say? Will it show that I have never done this before?
So here is the whole visit, in order. Ladybirds was established in 1984, and this guide covers each step, so the only surprise left is a pleasant one.
One fact matters more than the rest. You can meet the ladies and leave without paying if they do not suit you.
Before you arrive
Booking
You do not have to book. First-time visitors are welcome to call in and see who is working that day. Booking is how you make sure a particular lady is free at your time, so you are not left waiting if she is busy.
To book, phone us, or use the booking form on the profile of the lady you would like to see. Every profile is on our ladies page. Either way, we ask for five things. These are your name, the lady you have chosen, the date, your arrival time and how long you would like to stay.
The rota page shows who is working on each shift. The day shift runs from 10:30am to 8:30pm, and the night shift from 8:30pm to 5:30am. Check the rota before you book, so the lady you want is in.
Getting here
We are at 309b Palatine Road in Northenden, opposite the Esso station. The postcode for a satnav is M22 4HH. There is no private car park, but there is a short parking strip for shoppers and plenty of side streets nearby. We are 4.2 miles from Manchester Airport, about a ten-minute drive, and close to the M60.
There is also a discreet rear entrance off Mill Lane, open from 10:30am until 7pm. Many visitors do not realise it is there. Our location page has a short video of the route, plus public transport details and a local taxi number. The video is worth watching once before your first visit.
What to bring
Bring cash. We take cash only, on every shift, and there are cashpoints in Northenden village, within walking distance.
That is all you need. Each room has an en-suite shower, with laundry and toiletries. Our guide to what to wear and how to prepare covers the smaller questions. These include whether to shower first and whether to eat.
When you arrive
Reception
One of our friendly and discreet receptionists greets you and invites you into our comfortable lounge. You do not need a script. You can tell the receptionist it is your first time.
Meeting the ladies
In the lounge, you meet the ladies working that shift. You can chat, ask a question or say thank you.
When you have met everyone, let the receptionist know who you would like to see and for how long. If nobody feels right, say so. We do not charge a fee if the ladies do not suit you.
Paying
Payment is in cash. Our rates include the entry fee, so there is no separate door charge on top. The rates page sets out each session length, from 15 minutes to an hour.
The session
The room
You go to one of three private guest rooms. The lights are low, and each room glows in its own colour, from hot pink to deep blue. There is a wide bed made up with fresh white sheets and a soft throw, and the door closes behind you.
Each room has its own en-suite shower, air conditioning and fresh laundry. The photographs on our site are real, so you can see the rooms before you visit. When visitors send us feedback, the two things they mention most are clean rooms and friendly staff.
Use the shower before you start. Warm water is the easiest way to leave the day behind, and by the time you step out, the nerves have usually gone with it.
During the session
The session is private, and the time is yours. There is nothing to perform and nothing to prove. Let her set the pace, or tell her what you like. You can ask to pause or stop at any time, and so can she.
Worried about nerves, or about not being able to relax? Our piece on first-visit nerves covers the worries people rarely say out loud.
Leaving
When your time is up, there is no rush for the door. The shower and fresh laundry are there for you before you dress. Take the time you need, and step back out into the evening a little lighter than you came in.
