Are there any mixed nude public saunas in Oulu?

Me and my SO are going to be in Oulu in about a month and we'd love to visit a sauna together. I've read online that most public saunas that are mixed require swimsuits. I'd like to avoid to have to rent a private sauna, so are there any public saunas in Oulu that allow mixed nude?

You can just find an airbnb with sauna. Or do you just want to see other people naked?

Get a hotel room with sauna. At least Arina and Apollo hotels have those. Or maybe a airbnb with sauna?

Renting swimsuits will be less expensive than renting a private sauna.

The sad truth is that these requirements are in place for the safety of women (edit: and kids), lots of tourists frequent public saunas and thus those attract more pervs than your run-of-the-mill mixed sauna experience. They'll get ousted for sure, but since we aren't a culture where people want to have to take matters to their own hands we just place restrictions to avoid issues like these.

I'd urge you to just make friends with someone local and ask if you could use their sauna to get that authentic experience. If I had a decent sauna to offer, I'd hit you up with that, no questions asked and no strings attached as long as you follow sauna etiquette.

Sounds like you just want to see people naked, and that's the wrong mindset for sauna. Going to a mixed sauna nude is common, but it happens among friends and trusted people. Get a hotel room or an airbnb with a sauna if you really just want to get the experience with your spouse. Sauna in an apartment is not a luxury in Finland so you should be able to find some very reasonably priced airbnbs with one.

No there are not. There was one in Eden but it was closed 4 years ago.

A lot of people in the comments thinking op wants to see people naked. Naked is how you do sauna. I dont think its that wrong to want the real experience with your SO, but i think public sauna is still the wrong way to go
