Have you ever seen an Aufguss ritual?

[purplepoppy]

Aufguss is people flapping towels saunas to distribute the steam. It's developed into a worldwide competitive sport.

Have you seen it? Would you like to?

"Der Aufguss" ends up as mental fail "Erguss"
On the other hand it has everything people want to see, sexy girls in bikinis and some pseudo celebs who can promote themselves as "Aufguss Meister" in we remain by German language.

Dozens, probably hundreds. It's mostly just SOP for saunas, but some people take it more seriously than others.

The ones with birch twigs are extra fun. Rubbing salt on each other is also common, I'm not so keen on honey because it's a waste of good food.

Also, never with people in swimming costumes,

It''s unhygienic. But always have a towel between you and the wood.

I've seen little video features on saunas. I believe the Dallas Stars hockey team was doing a feature on their "Finnish Mafia" subgroup within the team led by Mikko Rantanen and Miro Heiskanen. Apparently saunas are wildly popular with Finns?

@AyChingao So I'm told, but so is jumping into frozen ponds afterwards. I'm never going to believe that's healthy!

[AyChingao]

Probably just a flex

I remember getting hit by rolled up towels in gym class when i was in high school. It looks like that.

[AyChingao]

Hmm... wonder what happens if you combine this with the Mauri haka?

[Iron_Man]

I’ve seen New York pizzas being flipped up in the air and tossed but not towels lol

[OneViewpoint]

Sit down and stop flapping your damned towel you neurotic mess. I'm trying to chill and think. Beg for attention somewhere else.

[red_knight]

Never seen or heard of this.. sounds dirty. Steam? More like sweat

[Staximus]

I've never seen such nonsense and don't use saunas

[Shiprex]

Never and am more the wiser for it.

[DrPepper12]

Cool. Love sauna zietgeist

[douride2]

I have never seen or even heard of this.

[Jennz6]

No, but I would love to see it

[Xawyx-2]

Nope, I've never been to a sauna.

[Kelly6]

@purplepoppy Didn't know it was a thing

[Marcus890]

That sounds like more of an exercise
