In Finland, a pefletti is a simple device used in a sauna. It is a sheet of paper, cardboard, cloth, foam rubber or other soft material that is placed on the sauna bench and then sat on. Its purpose is to prevent the user’s bare buttocks from directly touching the wooden bench and thus feeling uncomfortable because of the heat. Another reason is to maintain sanitary conditions in a sauna with a wide user base by preventing genital contact with the bench. The pefletti come in both disposable and re-usable varieties. The word pefletti is a combination of the Finnish word “peffa”, which is a mild slang word for one’s behind, and the Swedish word “tablett”.
