FAQ & How-To

Heat acclimation refers to your body's ability to adapt to high temperatures through gradual exposure. This process enhances your ability to sweat more effectively, leading to several benefits. It increases your sweat rate and triggers sweating at lower body temperatures, while also reducing the loss of electrolytes during sweating. Mentally, it prepares you to feel more comfortable in hot conditions. These adaptations are crucial, especially for athletes undergoing weight cuts, as it facilitates a quicker, easier, and safer process. In essence, incorporating heat acclimation into your regimen is a strategic move to optimise performance and safety.

The CUTTZ sauna blanket is an effective tool for weight cutting, offering the convenience of use anywhere, anytime. It serves as an efficient alternative to traditional 'mummy wraps,' allowing for continued sweating and heat retention post-bath without the excessive use of towels. This method enhances the effectiveness of your weight cut sessions while ensuring comfort and convenience.

To begin, incorporate 1-2 sauna blanket session per week into your routine. If you find this manageable, consider increasing the frequency to 3 sessions per week. Similar to combat training, it's essential to progressively overload your body. Over time, you may find yourself comfortably using the sauna blanket 4-5 times per week. Ultimately, the frequency of use should complement your training schedule and personal comfort.

Start with 20-minute sessions and increase the duration by 3-5 minutes each week until you reach 50-60 minutes. This gradual increase not only acclimates your body to withstand longer heat exposure but also mentally prepares you for more effortless weight cuts. Training your body to endure up to 60-minute sessions makes 30-minute weight cut rounds significantly more manageable.

Begin your sessions at 70 degrees and consider increasing the temperature by 2-3 degrees weekly, based on your comfort level. The goal is to find a balance that challenges you without compromising safety or comfort.

Wearing clothing inside the sauna blanket is entirely acceptable. For those who prefer not to wear full clothing, using the sauna blanket in underwear or laying a towel inside it are practical alternatives that also simplify cleaning.

The CUTTZ sauna blanket offers a personalised experience, allowing you to control the temperature to your preference. When we use a traditional sauna the surrounding air is extremely hot so our sweat cannot evaporate and therefore you can overheat very quickly.

Using CUTTZ Sauna Blankets enables your sweat to evaporate in the cooling surrounding air (e.g face), promoting continuous sweating without the risk of overheating or discomfort. This method prevents the common dizziness or nausea associated with traditional saunas. Additionally, it eliminates the need for travel and social interactions in public saunas, providing a private, time efficient, cost effective and enjoyable heat acclimation experience.

For optimal hygiene and maintenance, a quick wipe with antibacterial spray after each use is recommended. This simple step ensures your sauna blanket remains clean, sanitary, and ready for your next session.
