Therme - Sauna Etiquette

Posted by on

Hello,

My life partner and I are planning our dream German vacation. We wish to take Everton g in, including the Therme.

We know it’s mixed and clothes free. And when in Rome.

My question is are there certain grooming standards (down there) that we should trim or remove. Or is it really ok to come as you are regardless of how big or small your body and their parts are ?

As a typical American, I’m not familiar with public settings with no clothes.

And also is there any tips on proper etiquette?

Thanks and hope I’m not to forward.

Hi Brenda,

Therme’s in Germany are very relaxing, excellent for the mind, body and spirit.

And to use a modern buzz word they are also “safe spaces”. Where one can rejuvenate, free from judgement and stares.

Yes, some a take a slight look/peek, we’re all curious humans. But never stare or laugh.

Best is to bring one or two towels, and a robe. Ensure you sit on your towel in the sauna. No staring. You can wrap yourself in a robe or towel between saunas, pools, showers, etc.

And down there is private and don’t think it’s best for a message board, you do you.

As an American living in Germany, I always found the spas a bit uncomfortable. It helped to toss one end of a towel over my shoulder and drape it across my front when moving around the spa.

It depends on where you go re: suit or birthday suit.

There are no grooming standards other than being clean. Shave, don't shave, wear something, don't--it's just a body. Some look one way, some look another way. No need to stare because there really isn't anything to see; we all have body parts. If it's clean, it's fine.
