What all belongs in the sauna bag?
There is nothing more relaxing than spending time in the sauna to unwind after a long day at work or a cold winter day. It’s simply soothing to recharge your batteries and unwind in this tranquil environment. But what should you think about when packing for the sauna bag? In this article you will find the answers to this question.
Important utensils for a visit to the sauna
The first step is to choose a large, spacious bag. Surely you still have a suitable one at home. A small travel bag made of nylon is ideal for a sauna visit due to its light weight and water-repellent properties.
Sauna towel and bath slippers
Of course, bath slippers, enough towels and enough mineral water should not be missing in your sauna bag. You will need both a towel to dry off after showering and a larger towel that can also be used as a sauna towel. The ideal size for a sauna towel is 70 cm wide and 180 cm long. You should also have shampoo and shower gel, as well as a new pair of underwear to change into after your sauna session.
Bathrobe and sauna kilt
A bathrobe is recommended for the way from the changing room to the sauna. In many sauna facilities, the so-called bathrobe is mandatory. This means that a sauna guest must wear a bathrobe outside the sauna cabin, pool and outdoor area, i.e. in the rest of the sauna facility. In addition, you can use a bathrobe to relax in the rest area until the next sauna session. If you don’t have a bathrobe at hand, you can also make do with a sauna kilt. For men, a sauna kilt can be a little shorter – after all, no one objects to a free upper body. A sauna kilt for women is a bit longer and covers the whole body.
Swimwear for visiting a textile sauna
Some saunas have special textile saunas where you can only sauna in swimwear. If you don’t want to sauna in swimwear, you can also enter the sweat room in a sauna kilt. It is best to find out in advance if textiles are required for sauna use.
