What do you wear in the sauna at your gym?

[Anonymous]

Our sauna is coed so swimsuit is required but prefer going in naked with a towel. Swimsuits are so restricting to me, saunas are meant to be sans clothing.

Agreed! I go in wrapped in a towel and lay on it naked. That’s what you’re supposed to do

I enjoy nude beaches too. The fewer the clothes the better. In Fermany or Finland you wouldn’t dare wear anything in the sauna. It’s a real violation of sauna etiquette.

Ok, then bring a terry wrap. Please don't wear anything that isn't clean. Very clean. No one wants to smell that.

The only time I've been in is right after I swim.

Is a bathing suit ok? I didn't even realize there was a dress code.

Frankly, I'd prefer you showered and came in there clean, in a towel. I don't want the smell of the chlorine from your suit, and then later in the wood.

Leggings and sports bra.

Where are these nude coed saunas? That is so weird.

Why is it weird? It’s very common outside the U.S.

Here's some ew.

I went into the sauna in my two towels. Went up to the higher bench, and there was an abandoned pair of panties.

My bet is someone used the space as a dressing room. But really?

I was still wearing my swimsuit. It took about a minute to figure out that everyone else in there was not wearing anything. There were also a couple guys napping on the chaise lounges next to the spa. I guess as the newbie, I was the oddball. Next time, I still going to keep my suit on.

lol. Another guy here. I remember that happening to me at a gym in high school that offered student memberships.

I don't go in the steam room one because it is coed and freaks me out to be alone in there with a random man or men.

Dry sauna I go in after my shower to bake myself dry... just a towel.

It shouldn't you freak you out to encounter a man in a sauna because he will be gay.

But this is the U.S., where it is NOT common. I honestly don't understand why people post things like "well, in Europe they do it differently" as if Europe's way of doing things is superior. This is the USA, not Finland. Our customs are different.
