The rules are usually quite clearly displayed - often a pictogram like this for linguistically challenged foreigners.

In nude saunas it's fine to wrap your naked flesh in a towel if you're shy.

We were perturbed by the "speedo only" rule for men in Finland. No shorts allowed. Ugh.

Don't want to be burning my wizards sleeve on the bench hey?

It's true, but I didn't say that I was not having a towel.
I'm not going to any sauna without putting a towel under me.

I think it's more to do with (ideas of) hygiene. Every sauna I've visited provides towels for you to use.

Daftest thing I saw was in an Austrian mixed nude sauna where some women (I think they were Dutch), wrapped towels around their swimming costumes, so people would not know they weren't nude.

On a different note, I remember visiting a Greek restaurant in Germany with some American friends. I noticed their son was going rather red in the face - he'd spotted a statue with bare breasts.

Besides all the cultural shocks on here… I apologies...

I was in a hotel in Germany and I decided to put my bikini and went to the sauna, when I arrived the sauna was empty, after a few minutes a naked man entered in the sauna and I started panicking like “Oh no I’m in the men’s sauna”, after a few seconds another naked man entered (OOOH tulip NOOO)…followed by a naked women (OK), that’s when I remembered that in Germany the saunas are mixed with all the “fruit” visible.

Do you have anny funny situations to share?

(I'm sorry my English)

Pics or it didn't happen... (not of the naked men)

FTFY.

This is not supposed to be a porn thread but at least I'm leaning English vocabulary.

A friend explained that but there was no signs in the hotel.
Usually I use a towel but in that day I used bikini because I went to the swimming pool first.

I don't see any difference between a towel and a bikini if I'm not going to expose my wizard's sleeve, I mean, if the idea is to have everybody naked.

FTFY.

I was posting in CUK General when I replied to a thread. First there was just the one sockie, then a few minutes later another replied and then another replied. Then I remembered that in CUK, the threads are mixed with all the 'dicks' posting.

(I'm sorry I'm not a Sockie)

Brilliant.
