Sauna ladles
Sauna ladles are also known as sauna dippers. They are used with sauna buckets as they are inseparable accessories for every bather. One or two scoops of water tossed over the hot rocks of a Finnish sauna create the vapor or loyly that many sauna connoisseurs insist helps define an authentic sauna bath. Most of sauna ladles are made entirely of wood, but some feature copper or stainless steel scoops and birch, cedar or pine handles. Some of them also have attached leather straps.

Be careful as you have to use a ladle all the time when you want to place water on the rocks in a sauna heater. This will keep your hand away from the resulting steam, preventing a possible steam burn.

Sauna peg racks
These are accessories for those who want or like to have a place near or in the sauna room to hang their towel or bathrobe. There are many types of them. Wooden racks with four, five or six dowel peg hooks are popular with bathers who find pleasure in sharing their sauna baths with family or friends. These peg racks are sometimes called towel racks or clothes racks.

Sauna soap
Sauna soap typically works very well on tender sensitive skin. Many sauna fans choose long-lasting, hypoallergenic soap with either a pine or birch fragrance. Extra bath and body products can be used either before or after a sauna session to help cleanse and moisturize your skin.

Sauna timers
With the help of sauna timers, sauna bathers can keep track of how long they're in the sauna. They're reassuring devices for people who think they might fall under the spell of the hypnotic-like heat. As wearing a wristwatch in a hot sauna poses obvious risk, the sauna timer is certainly a practical sauna accessory. So, when visiting sauna, take it not to forget about the time.

Sauna whisks
Whisks are very popular in saunas. They are called either vasta or vihta in Finland. The vasta or vihta is a thick cluster of young, tender, leafy birch twigs. It is used to promote blood circulation and cleanse a sauna bather's skin once perspiration has sufficiently softened it. Their use is very healthful and sanative. The bather actually flagellates him or herself with the twigs after dipping them in water. As for the amount of force used, it can vary from bather to bather. However, this activity is not supposed to be painful or sexual. Many Finnish sauna enthusiasts can ask someone else in the sauna to slap them with the twigs. Very often bundled birch twigs are used for sauna whisks, but, people from those countries where birch is difficult to find, use also cedar or pine.

Thermometers and hygrometers
Thermometers measure temperature by using materials that change in some way when they are heated or cooled. As for a hygrometer, it measures the moisture content or the humidity of air or any gas. Thermometers and hygrometers, as sauna accessories, are available separately as two items, combined as one, or in package sets. Any sauna bather can do without this instrument as with its help he can monitor and control the temperature and humidity within a sauna.
