Our skin is free to breathe, while the areas that we might otherwise be uncomfortable to expose are subtly covered.
2. Do YEYE outfits follow the best practices reccomendations for sauna usage?
YES. In general one should be nude when bathing in the sauna. Nevertheless, many women almost fully cover themselves in towels or pareos due to cultural preferences. Our outfit is fully natural and is in fact a towel or pareo substitute, however it is actually more functional, since it allows us to expose a significant part of our skin to heat and allows its unobstructed breathing, while covering essential private parts.

It is recommended to wash each set before its first usage. The cotton it is made from will soften after one or two washes. This is inherent for a thick and natural fabric which we have used in our outfits.
6. Is it a must to visit a sauna dressed as Adam & Eve ?
Being nude in sauna is pre-assumed. Even if you are going in it straight after swimming in the pool, a swimsuit is not the right attire. Why ? It is artificial (at least partially) and due to this it makes body temperature control very difficult, on top of that it can be a reason of burns, sometimes serious.
So what if you are uncomfortable when naked ? Luckily there is a safe alternative. YEYE outfits are cozy and what is more important, they are made from 100% pure natural cotton. Wearing them will make comfortable and instead of feeling awkward, you will simply get relaxed.
7. You would actually go to sauna, but you feel embarrassed ?
The first sauna visit can be intimidating. You could be thinking if it makes sense at all, if instead of relaxing, you will get stressed by nudity. It is key to remember, that for experienced sauna users, the lack of clothes is entirely natural and they do not visit it to observe other people.
If you are still not convinced, we suggest the following two solutions:
1. Wear our natural cotton set. Such outfit does not obstruct natural heat exchange, is comfy and safe.
2. Choose a cameral facility, pick hours of lower attendance. Many locations will allow you to book the sauna for your exclusive usage. This is a prime idea to break the ice.
8. What do we need to take with us and how should we prepare ?
It is all less complex then it initially appears to be !
When it comes to accessories, going to sauna is not much different to aiming for a swimming pool.
You’ll probably need flip-flops, a towel, a hairband.
At the same time you will not need your swimsuit – saunas are in general “no textile” areas, but if you want to feel comfortable, we recommend 100% natural YEYE outfits.
9. What should you not do in a sauna ?
If you going to a sauna which is located in a complex with swimming pools, remember, that you must not enter it in your swimsuit. It is for your safety – the fabric, of which the swimsuits are made, when exposed to high temperatures can potentially inflict burns to your skin.
If you are afraid that you will be embarrassed when naked in sauna, pick the cotton Yeye set.
10. Stages of stay in the sauna.
Unfortunately it is not commonly known, that the visit in a sauna should be divided into several stages. And this is important. It is not as simple, as entering there and leaving after some time. In order to achieve best results, you should heat up your body and then cool it down. Such a cycle should be repeated two to three times. Heating up should last from ten to fifteen minutes, cooling down should take several minutes as a minimum. Only such a visit will allow you to fully take advantage of its beneficial influence.

12. Did you ever think how often one should use sauna ?
A good habit is to go to sauna once a week. The effects of such visit remain up to seven days. On occasion you might increase that to two or three times per week.

Sauna should be relaxing and it is a bit tricky to rest well when uncomfortably thirsty or hungry.
15. What about footwear ?
Flip-flops or alike is sth one should carry when aiming for a sauna. They can prevent slipping, especially when the sauna we are visiting is in a swimming pool complex.

And what about feet sweating ? It is best to have two towels – one to sit on, another to put under your feet.
16. Do you know that during a sauna session your skin will lose up to 1.5 liters of water ?
This is why it is crucial to hydrate well before entering it. How to do that ? It is best to start drinking water already a few hours before and keep doing that gradually, in small portions.
