The only couples who can use these together would be same-sex, or they open this up to strangers to share, but then we are entering adult film territory 🤣 (I know foreigners, namely those with spending power, are often exempt from these cultural taboos at hotels but I just found this dichotomy interesting)

They'll probably just hand each person a "paper underwear" and ask that they wear it before going in. At hotels in Asia, it is quite common for spa staff to ask the guest to put on on the paper underwear before going in for a massage. Although the paper underwear doesn't do much (it's usually of poor quality and you can still see through it), asking the guest to use it at least manages their expectation as to what is allowed and what isn't.
