Yeah thats not a sauna… phone? shoes? makeup and sports wear?? thats some warm room and doubt even in Europe.
Yeah, point one of the instructional video: don’t call this a Sauna. The end.
Is this even Europe?
It’s definitely not hot in that sauna. The woman with the pink top has a necklace dangling in the air. No sane Finn would bring a necklace into a Finnish sauna, or they’d at least toss it behind your back so that it’s constantly touching your skin. If it’s in the air, it will become hot and it will burn.
When in Finland and going to sauna:
– no clothes! You go to the sauna naked.
– no shouting, sauna is a place for relaxation. Keep the volume down when you talk.
– no makeup! What the hell!?
– no goddamn phones!!
In public sauna, you either whisper or talk silently to each other or you drink a bottle of ”Turpa vitun kiintä”.
Sauna is a place for relaxing, not a public gathering place or a bazar where everyone yells at each other.
Also this barely looks like a proper sauna.
This is a typical american sauna, or as i like to call them: fart rooms.
It is just a warm room, you do not even break a sweat. I have been in two saunas in the US (one private and one at a ski resort), neither had a kiuas you could throw water on (that would have broken them), so you just sit in a warm room without any löyly.
One of the most traumatic experiences of my life.
Who brings phone to Sauna?? Why?!!
In this rare case the karen is right, thou shall not be loud in sauna.. but.. yes, everyone doing everything wrong, clothes, phone.. nope.
Some of the comments break my heart. And nose.
In gyms particularly, americans apparently do their workout and go straight to the “sauna,” fully clothed. Some of them don’t even shower after that either.
We need to get some kind of protection to the use of the term sauna. Calling whatever that shit is a sauna is a insult towards the longest standing continuously practiced cultural tradition on the planet and devalues a practice on the UNESCO cultural heritage list. You are bastardizing a tradition twice as old as the pyramids.
Saunarauha is a thing
Bruh
I pity the fool who says that is sauna!
Everything is wrong in this.
The desecration of the sauna
“Sauna.”
That room must be tepid. That is not a sauna.
Sauna is not hot enough if you have your phone in there
You don’t talk in sauna, u sit quietly close to strangers.
Weak ahh sauna.
A Finn in the UK here. The amount of phones used in the saunas is just staggering. It looks so stupid. People also leave empty cans behind when they leave and do not close the sauna door properly. Sometimes they even have a conversation with someone while holding that door open. It sucks cause you lose all the heat (65-70 celcius) which isn’t much anyway. No wonder some wear robes as it might get a bit chilly. And then there’s the 10 min stay limit, at least in my local one. It sucks as the staff won’t let me be at peace. They tend to open the door and check if I’m alive after I’ve been there for hours. I hope they wouldn’t. It takes the heat away. I’m also a grown man. I know my limits. If I die I die. Sauna etiquette is totally missing here.
If its cold enough for you to wear clothing and have your phone not explode its not a sauna. A warm moist room maybe but not a sauna.
Do americans shower with their shoes on? Americans and their shoes are weird. Lol
A couple of things which don’t belong in a proper sauna:
– clothes
– mobile phones
– talking loudly
If you are not from the country, it’s important to know beforehand what’s acceptable and what’s not in their culture. Please respect the space you are in.
