Bath towel or beach towel in Swedish saunas?


Bob Buzzard

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

    • I went once years ago, gathered up a few pairs of trousers to try on, then found they had no changing rooms. Bought nothing, never went back.
    • Was it actually a bed, or something less obvious ? Either way sounds gross!
    • Has Helen Hayes replied? If there was ever a reason for an MP to get involved surely this is it? How is it that a bunch of profiteering wide boys were handed TJ on a plate? I am surprised this has not hit the press big time.
    • I have never been able to get an appointment.  Even getting repeat prescriptions is a battle.  They are the very worst GP practise I have ever been with.  You can not book an appointment in advance.  It is terrible I need to change to another practice.  Does anyone recommend another GP practise please.  It is very stressful trying to get through on the phone and the apps are even worse.

But I am not surprised.   Plus they quote themselves as booking advance appointments. Which is a total untruthful statement.
