Frequently Asked Questions

A sauna suit is a garment designed to increase perspiration during exercise or other physical activities. It's typically made of waterproof or water-resistant material and is intended to mimic the effects of a sauna by trapping heat close to the body.

Sauna suits work by creating a thermogenic effect, which raises your body temperature during physical activity. This increased temperature leads to profuse sweating, helping to shed water weight and potentially improve calorie burn.

Some potential benefits of using a sauna suit include increased sweating, which may aid in detoxification, temporary weight loss through water loss, improved circulation, and potentially enhanced calorie burn during exercise.

While sauna suits can be used safely for short periods by healthy individuals, it's essential to stay hydrated and listen to your body's signals. Prolonged use or excessive heat can lead to dehydration, overheating, and even heat stroke. Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as heart problems or high blood pressure, should consult a healthcare professional before using a sauna suit.

Most sauna suits can be hand-washed with mild detergent and water or gently machine washed on a delicate cycle. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the suit's material. Hang the suit to air dry thoroughly between uses to prevent odors and prolong its lifespan.

The frequency of sauna suit use depends on individual fitness goals and comfort levels. Some people may use it for every workout session, while others may only use it occasionally for specific purposes, such as weight cutting for a competition. It's essential to listen to your body and not overdo it, as excessive sweating can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.

While sauna suits are primarily designed for exercise, some people may use them for activities such as hiking or gardening to promote sweating. However, it's crucial to be mindful of overheating and dehydration, especially in hot weather or high-intensity activities.

Sauna suits primarily promote temporary weight loss through water loss, which can make you appear slimmer temporarily. However, this weight loss is typically regained once you rehydrate. While sauna suits may contribute to overall calorie expenditure during exercise, they are not a substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen for sustainable fat loss.

Sauna suits come in various sizes to accommodate different body types. It's essential to choose the right size for a comfortable fit that allows for movement without being too tight or restrictive. Please refer to our sizing chart to determine the right size for you. 

While some people prefer to wear a thin layer of clothing underneath their sauna suit for comfort or modesty, others opt to wear the suit directly on the skin to maximize its effectiveness. Ultimately, it's a matter of personal preference, but be mindful that wearing additional layers may affect the suit's ability to trap heat and promote sweating.
