When it comes to at-home sauna sessions, you should prioritize your comfort and safety when deciding what to wear inside your outdoor sauna kit. Since your sauna is private to you and your family, there aren’t any strict rules regarding what is considered acceptable sauna attire. However, some options are more popular than others.
Popular Sauna Attire Options
You should wear whatever you feel comfortable in inside the sauna. Some popular choices include:
- Towel: It is pretty common and traditional for sauna bathers to utilize their saunas with just towels. This makes it quick and easy for bathers to hop in the shower directly after the sauna. Towels are also widely regarded as one of the more hygienic sauna attire options since it is nearly impossible to sweat through a bath towel.
- Swimwear: Swimwear in the sauna is also very popular. It allows more of your skin to breathe while you are in the sauna. This is especially popular when sauna bathing with others, as it is comfortable and slightly more conservative than simply wearing a towel.
- Light Clothing: If you do not feel comfortable in a towel or swimsuit, then you can definitely wear clothes in the sauna; however, you need to pick the right kinds of clothing. Light breathable clothing is generally recommended to avoid feeling too hot or stuffy. Cotton is usually your best bet.
What to Avoid
- Polyester or traditional workout clothes can trap heat and irritate the skin
- Oil-based skin care products can irritate your skin while in he sauna
- Thick or heavy clothing can cause overheating and discomfort
