I'm English but I live in Sweden, mostly I love living in Sweden but there are some rules that I think are very silly.
Me and my ds have started to go swimming every week, the sauna has big notices on the outside saying you must be naked in the sauna. The problem with being naked is that ds still breastfeeds so when he sees my boobs he claps and says "boobie!! Bravo!" and then he wants to feed, I'm trying to limit him to one evening feed. The other problem is that ds wears a swim nappy is also not allowed so he's naked, I worry what would happen if he does a poo.
You also must shower naked before going in the pool, I understand that rule as they don't put much chlorine in the water so they rely on people being clean but I don't see how it effects anyone else if another person has a swimming costume on in the sauna, you have to sit on your own towel anyway.
It is seen as extremely unhygienic to go in the sauna with a swimming costume on, I just don't understand why, you shower after the sauna and wash your swimming costume after visiting the pool.
Aibu to think it is a daft rule?

to think enforced nudity in a sauna is unnecessary?
