Bob Buzzard Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Any Scandi fans out there? I'm thinking of going to Sweden soon, so I might be invited to a sauna. I know Swedish people don't tend to wear clothes in the sauna, but I know they use towels - are they bath towels or beach towels? I I don't want to be out of place bringing the wrong sort of towel because I'm English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Buzzard Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 I've been watching Scandi noir sauna scenes in preparation for my trip, but I can't make out if they're using bath or beach towels in the sauna scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help-Ma-Boab Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 is Mrs Buzzard going Bob?Id follow her lead. She knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Buzzard Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Yes, Mrs Bob is coming along. I've decided to pack one of those types of towels that could be seen either as a bath towel or a beach towel -I should be fine then and Swedish mishaps.

malumbu Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Just admiring the return to the sort of threads that I'd expect from ED. But disappointed in the advice. Clearly you need a sarong, both because they are so versatile but also as a statement that you have traveled the world and are a pretty liberal type of guy. Swedes will love it.

Seabag Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I think a tiny pair of Speedo?s is standard, along with a small towel, and some well trodden down flip-flops Bob. But it?s your manner that?s most important. You must be slow, calm and have the endurance of a rhino in the midday sun. You must be able to take the heat, or the Swedes will poo-poo you with ?no wonder Brexit is happening? as you keep flitting in and out of the sauna.If you are depilated then go sans the trunks, it?s my preference.

Bob Buzzard Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Thank you for your erstwhile advice - I will take heed - is it the 'budgie smuggler' type Speedos I should wear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArtfulDogger Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Bob Any speedos will do except white ones that go see through when wet as nobody ever wants to see the budgie in the nip I think I'm going to have nightmares now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malumbu Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 shrink wrapped bacon in the supermarket freezer. Now there is a blast from the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidKruger Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Just don't piss on the sauna rocks, a really foul steam results (so I'm told).You'll gain no admirers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Buzzard Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Thanks for the advice everyone, but Mrs Bob says it's probably best she goes on her own to Sweden and I stay at home. I'll just do a steam inhalation from an IKEA bowl instead. Is menthol or eucalyptus oil best to inhale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Buzzard Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 Just in case anyone wants to know - the predominant towel type used by native Swedes on my visit was white and fluffy. And they all speak fluent English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
