3. Dry Treatments.
a. Option 1: Full-sheet wrapping
This method employs a twin-size flat sheet to cover the table and wrap the guest. When working with a **large** guest (over 200 pounds), it may be necessary to use a full-size sheet. When using this method, offer the guest a robe or additional towels when the guest is moving from the dressing area to the table.
******************************************
In English calling someone "large" is an euphemistic way to call them "fat".
So what would be the Spanish equivalent?
Could it be "un huésped de contextura gruesa"?
Could there be a more appropriate term?
Please help me.
