Non-nude nudes

I admit, that sounds weird, and yet, we saw it. "We" being my girlfriend and I.

Last time at the wellness, which we frequent. We avoid the bathing suit days like the plague and then some, because everything's right with being there naked, and everything's wrong with swimwear in such a place.

What struck me is the nearly clear split between the real nudes and the non-nudes.

The real nudes are nude everywhere, carrying a towel with them, and perhaps a small bag with some stuff like a book and water.

The non-nude nudes are wrapped up in towels and gown and what not, and only drop that when they're inside a sauna, where it's dark and no one can see them. They seem to think...

Maybe I'm making too much of this, but it is a strange thing for me. When you go to a nude-only sauna day, why don't you do naked all the way? It's probably something between their ears. I don't get it.

These people probably feel brave enough, and yes, I applaud them for that.

But why not be real and leave all those wrappings off between saunas?
