What do you take with you to the sauna?
A day at the sauna is a moment of relaxation, but what exactly do you bring to make your wellness experience complete? Except on swimwear days, it is customary not to wear clothes, but to bring the right bathing suit. At most saunas, a towel , bathrobe and slippers are even mandatory. We have listed the most important items and useful accessories for you, so that you are well prepared for your trip.
Essential items for a sauna visit
- Large towel – In the sauna cabin it is customary to sit or lie on a towel. This is not only hygienic, but also comfortable.
- Extra towel – After a sauna or swimming session, an extra towel is not an unnecessary luxury. This will dry you off before putting on your bathrobe.
- Bathrobe – Between sauna rounds you can relax in the relaxation rooms. A bathrobe ensures that you stay warm and can walk around comfortably.
- Slippers – For hygiene and safety reasons, it is mandatory to wear slippers. This prevents slipping on wet floors and keeps your feet clean.
Which towel is suitable for the sauna?
Towels come in different sizes and materials. Which one is most suitable depends on your preferences. A sauna is a humid and warm environment, so it is important that your towel is absorbent and ventilated. The best choice is a towel made of 100% cotton .
Want a lighter option? Then a hammam towel is an excellent choice. These thin, cotton towels absorb moisture well and dry quickly. For those who are hesitating between a traditional terry towel and a hammam towel, there is also a hammam towel with terry cloth, where one side is soft terry cloth and the other side is light and breathable cotton.
The benefits of a sauna kilt
