I thought it was strange that the saunas in Finland separated men and women. We don't do that in the Netherlands. The sauna I go to has one day per week for women only and invites families with children on sundays. But the rest of the week it's all unisex. There's no rule against talking but there's an advisement to keep down the volume.
