What to wear
Comfortable options range from nothing to loose cotton. Always sit on a small towel.
There's no rule. Wear what you're comfortable with.
- Nothing (traditional Finnish style; many owners prefer this for unobstructed heat exposure)
- A small towel wrapped around you
- A swimsuit
- Loose-fitting cotton or linen shorts and a top
What to avoid
- Synthetic fabrics that trap heat against the skin (can cause discomfort or rash)
- Tight clothing that restricts circulation
- Anything with metal zippers, snaps, or jewelry near the skin (metal heats and can burn)
