Vihta. I am from western Finland.

Thanks for answers in advance :smile:
1) no more than once a week.
2) almost never alone. Usually with my wife.
3) temperature is not important so long as it's warm enough. Humidity is what counts. Dry = not good.
4) Neither. Don't use one.
5) Cold water in the sauna, sometimes cider afterwards.
6) British, male.

1) About once in a blue moon. I thinks it's a lot of hassle.

2) I've been in mixed and same sex sauna's sooo it's not the usual Brit modesty thing.

3) With the fire out, couple of pillows, it's a nice place to hide when you want a bit of peace and quiet.

4) :roll:

5) Water

6) British and hold on... it seems I'm male.

Thanks for answers in advance :smile:
1) roughly ten times a year, I don't like the summer cottage life (been there, done that) nor going to sauna at home during the summer when it's hot as it is
2) depends on the situation, alone, with friends, family, class mates (male and female, while still studying), in the army,...
3) 70 Celsius
4) don't use one but vasta, vihta for me implies a single twig with no leaves on it (you got whipped with for misbehaving as a child)
5) beer
6) a Finnish male

How about you? Are you using the answers for something?
