Delicate situation: semi-transparent shower screen?

[DinAlex]

Consider yourself in the following situation: you're in a sauna with your friends (both male and female). After finishing, you want to take a shower. The shower is like in the picture below: you can close the curtains, but you can't do anything with side screens that are semi-transparent:

Consider you don't have a swimsuit on you. You are only in a towel. What would you do?

Take a shower naked and don't worry about male friends seeing me. Dimming like on the picture is sufficient

Take a shower naked but try to turn back side when male friends pass by

Take a shower naked and ask male friends not to pass by beforehand

Put on underwear and take a shower in it

Refuse taking a shower, rather do it at home later

Actually going to the sauna in towel (not in swimsuit) is absolutely impossible for me, so I won't find myself in such a situation

[GingerGuy]

I can't see myself in that situation, but a question, so the curtain doesn't go all the way around? And if so, why? lol Seems really odd. Why have it at all in that case? But hypothetically (depending on the friends I guess and how open minded they are), I'd either not shower and shower at home, or just do it, forget the certain (seems pointless anyway lol, or close it as much as I could), and whomever happened to see me sees me. Chances are I'm going to them also so it shouldn't be a big deal. Just shower and go.

[DinAlex]

Yes, the curtain only closes the front part. I don't know why, but it seems that they considered that dimming is enough.

[GingerGuy]

Ideally, if you're all friends, and especially in that situation, you'd all be comfortable being naked around each other (I'm a nudist), both in the shower and in the sauna. But I know most people aren't like that.

[Aerissa_Jade]

I picked A, but I've been in a similar situation once. Was on a ski trip once with a female friend, the bathroom had a glass wall between it and the rest of the room.

Anyone in the room could watch you in the shower as it was also glass... which for the first day or two wasn't so bad until she invited a guy she liked in the room that she met, while I was already in the shower.

When I got out, I saw him and got a little bit embarrassed but figured what the hell, put a towel on went out and smiled to him and greeted him.

Later my friend said, now I know why he was staring so much like he was looking past me. She apologized, totally forgot about it.

That lodge could be a fun honeymoon trip someday.

[VIVANT]

Most likely I’d drape towels over the dudes where the glass is. But unlikely I’d be in that position in the first place I’ve never been in a sauna with only a towel. In any case drape sonething 😊

lol What kind of set up is this 🤨

[DinAlex]

If you went to the sauna in a swimsuit — you would take a shower in it?

[Aakash_Hangargi]

The only way is to wait till they finish them you go if you can't change the set up.

If it is that comes in their sight of vision 97 % of men would peek maybe at least out of curiosity

Or you should plan only girls day out or you have to trust them and be fine even if they look.

What would you do as you said it's a generic bathroom what about others aren't you worried that they would see you?

[DinAlex]

Thanks for the opinion. But I didn't understand your question.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Is that shower inside the sauna itself?

And only you t people will be allowed in that sauna room?

[DinAlex]

This shower is inside the sauna, where only our group is allowed (only my friends).

[Aakash_Hangargi]

One more solution is that you can make them face back from the shower zone and ask your other gal to watch them you bath you come out then her turn then the guys can bath

[DinAlex]

Well, it's close to answer C.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Yup yup

[Oigit]

Don't see much of an issue. Male showers at places like pools can sometimes not even have stall walls. So you wind up taking a shower next to some random person you don't know. At lest showing next to friends would be a hell of a lot less awkward. That and you could gas bomb the entire room with a really bad fart and run out before your friends realize what you did.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Why in the world is there see through walls to begin with? That's just dumb lmao

[DinAlex]

I don't understand what you mean. The photo is real. It's a real sauna and the walls of the shower cubicle look exactly like it's shown in the photo.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

I didn't say it wasn't real, it's just a really dumb design. The flimsy shower curtain is basically just for show at that point.

[DinAlex]

Maybe that's because the bathhouse is designed to be rented by a company of friends, not by random people.

[Ez-Bri-Z]

Alright. Well in that case I'm waiting until everyone is done or ill wait til I get home.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Aren't people usually naked in a sauna? So what would be the difference if they see you naked in the sauna or shower? But, I wouldn't be in that situation anyways, so🤷🏼‍♀️

[DinAlex]

In some countries, people don't go naked to mixed saunas.

[soe11]

Yes do go

[Ange-Etrange]

I trust my male friend enough to respect my desire to not be seen naked, I would only inform them I'm going to shower but I know they wouldn't take advantage.

[DinAlex]

What do you mean by taking advantage? Would a short glance in your direction be considered inappropriate? What if the person does not look in your direction, but sees you with peripheral vision?

[Ange-Etrange]

Intentional peek is abuse. I don't care if that's a mistake from them. But if they actively look at me naked... Meh

[AviatorTom]

This question is geared for women to answer, but if I change some of the wording, then A- "Take a shower and don't worry about female friends seeing me."

[Markm3212]

what did you female friends do?

also how did you go to the Sauna without a swimsuit on? did you just have the towel around you? if so did that not defeat the purpose of the Sauna?

[KrisPW]

I wouldn't be in mixed company without hubby, but if we were there together then I wouldn't be opposed to the shower.

[sophiejo]

If I was close enough with someone to be going to a sauna with them I wouldn't care if they saw me naked not that it really bothers me anyway

[soe11]

Exactly my girlfriend said as well.

[horatiohornblower]

I’d probably be chewing out the manager or owner if I came out of the sauna and found out the showers are setup like that.

[ChrisMaster69]

Just take a shower we don’t worry about seeing each other naked.

[elizamichale1]

well i wouldn't mind even if there were no curtains either

[jshm2]

You've never been to a German mixed sex sauna, have you?

[Subarugirl]

I would just take a shower... that what they are there for. Nothing weird about it.

[bananathunder]

it's not a big deal to me. Half of my female friends have seen me naked at some point anyway

[Anonymous]

Shower at home. What is wrong with people who build a shower like that?

[Gwenhwyfar]

I voted A. B works too.

[Gwenhwyfar]

I think I like A better

[TCredo]

Agreed A is better :)

[Anonymous]

Please stop making new accounts to ask this sort of thing over and over.

[DinAlex]

That's the only account I have. And I use it for years, it's not new.

[Opinion Owner]

Then someone is asking very close questions to this and have been for a few years now, so heads up.

[DinAlex]

Well, I think it's normal that people have close interests. I think that for every question you can find a similar older question here.

[Opinion Owner]

Not this similar and it's always brand new accounts, levels 5 and less.

[lottiebannotie]

I'd be in a bikini

[DinAlex]

And what if you have no bikini?

[lottiebannotie]

I wouldn't go to a sauna without it

[soe11]

My girlfriend don't care at all.

[Neko_Nya]

Idc we're friends
