So I just joined a gym that has a small sauna. I went in there today in my gym shorts, but felt I was overheating pretty quick.
What do people normally wear in a gym sauna (it's in the men's locker room)?
What Should I Wear in a Gym Sauna?

Your birthday suit

Perhaps bring another.
Yeah … Bring a friend … I guess.

It's over 60 C in those things, of course you overheat. How long do you expect to stay in there. I'm over it after 10 to 20 minutes.
Make sure you’re not wearing a necklace or ring, or you’ll get burnt
That makes zero sense.
Metals have high thermal conductivity?
Yes, but the air temperature for the metals is the same as it is for your skin. They aren't going to get hotter than the ambient air.
what about them dudes with nipple rings
I just wore my workout shorts and just sweat. You're meant to overheat.

Go commando
In Finland we don't wear anything in sauna but in Australia if I go to sauna I wear a towel around my mediterranean region.
What about the birch self flagellation?
Yes, it really makes the blood circulating and feels awesome. My wife, who wasn't born in Finland, loves being "whipped" with a vihta ;)

I let it loose and slightly to the left
Clown suit.
I usually wear my gym shorts if I’ve got another pair to wear home, or just my undies, then go home commando. Most people I’ve seen wear just undies.
I’d stick with the gym shorts. You probably just need a little bit more time to acclimatise to the sauna, the humidity, and the heat. Being such a humid environment, I’d suggest putting a layer of clothing between you, and the seat as although not necessarily likely there might be stuff like athletes foot hanging around on the seats.
Overheating in the sauna….. I wonder why, that's a tough one!
Nothing. Just a towel over the jewels.
