Poll: Have you been on sauna?

[MAPESA]

Yeah, just wanted to know how many of you have been in sauna. Here in Finland we go to sauna almost every evening but now when its summer, not so often.

 

[Eku]

Yes once.

Hated it though. (At first I thought you said tanning booth so I said "hell no")

 

[MAPESA]

Yes once.

Hated it though.

May i ask whys that? I enjoy going to sauna.

 

[Eku]

Well.

Around here its usally 26-33c but mostly around 29c.

And sauny is hot and steamy so maybe if you where its not that hot a sauna would be good.
But here and with me naaaa.

 

[FireMyLaser]

Yes of course, I have one right next to my work table lol.

Yeah I've been in a sauna a couple of times...but it wasn't for relaxation...lol. A couple years ago at a swimming party in a hotel we got the little sauna room up to 165ºF, and we filled it with humidity from steam. Just walking into the room would make me lose my breath, it was horrible. We had a contest to see how long we could stay in it., wasn't our brightest idea.

Private sauna in my house = Yes!
Public sauna with a bunch of naked strangers = No!

:crackup: lol i have been on these "contests" few times (when some relatives come over)

Yeah, it first aint really hot but if you throw litre of water to the stove the steam feels hot.. I have been in sauna heaten up to 120'C (im not sure..it was year ago or sumthin) and boy does that feel hot. It was cold winter day - the outside temperature was like -25'C

Its a private sauna in our house.

Random story: i read in newspaper long time ago that some guys put their sauna up to 150'C! the firefighters had to extinguish the sauna bit after Must been kinda steamy there...

edit - i just did remember that last week out of curiosity i tried sunking a DX sku.1101 keychain pointer to the water , moved it there and sunk again, abused it with shower etc..it survived! the laser was kinda dim and the led was always on, but next day when it dried it was perfect

I burnt the inside of my nose, it was 135F in there.

I have been in saunas about 100 times.. I like it a lot, as long as you don't have share them with strangers.
Just make sure the air isn't too humid and you can actually have it turned up really high without feeling bad.

yes, many times! i love it.. its very refreshing.. i have a friend who used to live in Finland and moved here to Australia.. he was always hot and sweaty, and he used to say.. why did i move into a permanent sauna..

I'm pretty sure, in Finland after you go into the sauna, you go and have a cold shower.. is this correct?? if so i have done that.. it is really nice! i was in the sauna up to 95C then i went and jumped into a cold pool.. it was great!

 

[Jaseth]

Yes bobhaha, the very best is if you can sit in about 95C to 105C for 20 minutes, then jump straight into a cold shower or cold pool.
I haven't been in a sauna for months, now I'm really looking forward to November where me and a couple of friends are renting a place for the weekend which has a sauna.. sweet.
