Marinating in plastic? Let’s talk sauna clothing…
We see it all the time, full-body synthetic suits, gym gear, thermals, kids wrapped up in synthetic long sleeves, and guys in thick, knee-length shorts made from heavy materials...
And while we know it comes from a good place, staying modest, warm, or just not knowing what to wear, it can be a serious problem in the hot room.
Synthetic clothing + high heat = unhygienic and sweaty mistake
>>> Materials like polyester, nylon, or elastane trap sweat, block airflow, and stop your skin from breathing. Instead of helping you sweat, they turn your sauna session into a slow roast.
>>> These materials also absorb and hold on to sweat, making things less than fresh for you and everyone around you, creating an unhygienic environment in a space that should feel clean and refreshing.
It’s not just uncomfortable, it's unsafe!
>>> When your skin can’t breathe and your body can’t sweat properly, you overheat fast. This is especially risky for kids in synthetic gear.
The fix? Simple.
>>> If you're wearing synthetic gear: wear as little as possible. Think: bikini, swim briefs, one-piece swimsuit, and make sure it's clean!
>>> If covering up is important to you, you can absolutely still do that, opt for natural fabrics like linen or cotton, loose, breathable, and heat-safe.
