Hmm. I dunno if I want to go in there if there are naked women in there. So I should expect to see women with not even a towel on?
Kinda thinking that would make me uncomfortable. Maybe I'm uptight.

Is there a social etiquette? I wouldn't want to make small talk in a sauna!

Do you go in and quickly acknowledge people in there (like a quick "good morning"), or just go in quietly and find a spot to relax?

It really opens up the pores, like when you get a facial. You could give yourself a facial after you step out, bring scrubber and cleaner.

I like to go naked whether its a sauna or steamer but our gym is coed. Sux! Otherwise naked is prefered, swimsuits are so restricting.

Steam rooms are good for the skin and generally relaxing. You shower before and after. Don't stay in longer than 20 minutes without taking a shower break.

As far as apparel goes, I take a hand towel to sit on. The rest is situational. If I'm the only one in there, I drape a regular towel across my front, in case someone come in unexpectedly. If there's already a bunch of old Asian ladies in residence, I let it all hang out. Swim suits can feel uncomfortably tight in the steam, and it's hard on the fabric so I don't recommend wearing one.

Screw you. I'm looking for personal experiences jerk off.

I've wondered the same thing about their purpose. Regarding dress, I see people wearing bathing suits or towels in the room at my gym.

Wow, okay...maybe not such stupid questions??? No one has any idea? LOL

My gym has a steam room in the locker room.
Wondering:
What does a steam room do? Like is it good for your skin?
What do I wear? (A towel?)
Do I shower after my workout but before going in? And then shower again I guess?
