Ways to tie a bath sheet
There are several of them: most are suitable for both sexes, some only for women. Much depends on the dimensions, thickness of the product and aesthetic preferences of the individual user. The longer and thinner the canvas, the more interesting, lighter and more elegant it will look (this is especially true for girls).
From the back
To get something like a Greek toga, you need:
- throw the sheet over your shoulders from behind with the wrong side facing you so that its left corner hangs forward to the ribs, but does not fall on the forearm;
- With your right hand, lower the fabric from your right shoulder, stretch it under your arm and wrap it around your body counterclockwise;
- Tuck the free corner inside from above.
Representatives of the fair half can tie the ends on the shoulder with a beautiful knot.
By the way! For left-handed people, it may be easier to start wrapping from the right shoulder and wrapping clockwise.
Front
The same manipulations can be done in mirror image:
- unfold the sheet in front of you with the front side facing away from you;
- throw one of the corners (let's say the left one) behind your back;
- Wrap the free end around the body and secure.
With bare shoulders
This is the simplest model, for creating which even a large towel (including a thick terry one) is suitable:
- you need to stretch it horizontally behind you;
- wind in a circle, completely covering one transverse edge with the other;
- tuck or pin the free end.
With a noose around your neck
In this exclusively female version, it is recommended:
- apply the sheet to your back at the level of your shoulder blades, with its edges being at an equal distance from the spine;
- Stretch your arms forward, then transfer the right edge to your left hand, and the left edge to your right (cross);
- twist the ends (possible, but not necessary) and tie at the back of the neck.
Reference. Such drapery will look good if only it is made of very thin and soft fabric.
Indian method
The sari, the traditional clothing of Indian women, is made from a large rectangular cloth. It’s possible to build something similar from a bath sheet. To do this you will need:
- wrap one edge of the sheet over your waist;
- pin the resulting skirt at the waist;
- stretch the remaining long edge diagonally from the hip to the opposite shoulder and throw it back;
- If you wish, secure it with a belt.
Attention! The fabric must first be folded lengthwise as long as necessary so that the skirt does not drag on the floor.
Scheme:
By using your imagination and adding bright accessories (belt, pin, brooch) you can create very bright and beautiful images. However, everything should be in moderation, for example, you should not pull it too tight or use a lot of additional elements. Nothing should interfere, constrain or prick, because the bathhouse is a place where you can not only cleanse and heal the body, but also relax, take a break from the everyday hustle and bustle, and get a lot of positive emotions.

Contrast procedures
After each entry into the steam room, the body requires cooling. For seasoned bathhouse regulars, even diving into an ice hole or swimming in the snow will be normal.
But if you are a beginner, you should not subject your body to much stress. It is quite enough for you to stand under a cool shower or plunge into a warm pool. Not icy and cold, but warm. After a few months, when your body and cardiovascular system become more trained and accustomed to heat/cold changes, you can try more contrasting sensations.

The toga, once the attire of the ancient Romans, has now become a popular costume at many events, including costume parties, festivals and masquerades. The good thing about a toga is that it can be created at the last minute, as a simple white sheet will do. From this article you will learn how to tie a toga on yourself and transform into a person from past times.
How to tie a classic toga from the back
- 1
Fold the sheet in half lengthwise. Find a double sheet (150 cm wide and 190 cm long or more) and fold it in half. If you need a longer toga, tuck the sheet only a quarter of the way.[1]
- 2
Throw the gathered end of the sheet over your shoulder. Leaving most of the sheet behind your back, throw one end over either shoulder. Adjust this end of the sheet so that it goes down to your waist.
- 3
Bring the fabric from the back to the front. Holding one end of the sheet on your shoulder with one hand, with the other hand grab the part of the sheet that hangs on your back and bring it forward. Gather the fabric when it is at the front.
- 4
Wrap the long end around your body. Hold the gathered long end of the sheet in your hand and wrap it around your body. Bring the fabric down your back, under your arms, and across your chest.
- 5
Throw the remaining end of the fabric over the same shoulder. After wrapping the long end around your body (perhaps several times), bring the rest of the fabric over the shoulder you started with.
- 6
Adjust your toga if necessary. Straighten or gather the material into folds and pin it with pins so that it falls to the level you need on your feet. You may have to make several attempts before you get it the way you intended. Take the time to smooth out the toga's layers and folds nicely.
- 7
Secure the fabric to the shoulder. Use a safety pin or decorative brooch to secure the gathered fabric in place at the shoulder. You can also simply knot the two ends of the fabric at the shoulder.[2]
How to tie a classic toga from the front

Grab the sheet directly in front of you to throw one end over your shoulder. Take one end of the sheet to drape a few inches of fabric over your shoulder from front to back. This end should go down to about your buttocks.[3]

- If you have twine, tie it around the small of your back and grab the end of the sheet that hangs down your back.
Who should not go to the bathhouse?
Unfortunately, not everyone will benefit from visiting a bathhouse. There are also contraindications. First of all, this is any purulent disease. Even a small pimple with a purulent head will become large and painful. Not to mention more serious processes. If there is purulent inflammation somewhere, you cannot warm yourself. This is clear. So many conditions and diseases immediately disappear. In addition, going to the bathhouse is contraindicated for people suffering from the following diseases:
- heart failure;
- tumor diseases;
- epilepsy;
- acute conditions in diseases of the respiratory tract (bronchitis, pneumonia, pneumonia in the acute stage);
You cannot take children under 4 years old to the steam room. There are also restrictions for older people. This procedure is also contraindicated for them. Doctors do not recommend visiting the steam room during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but many neglect these recommendations.
Expectant mothers ignore doctors' advice not to visit the steam room
Finally, watch a master class on steaming in Russian baths. A lot of useful information in this video.
