In the Netherlands towels are optional in single gender saunas, or at least you have to bring one to sit on but you don’t have to cover your self. That’s my experience with men’s saunas though. Not sure how it works in women only saunas.

MODERATORS
I've never seen single gender sauna/spa there, although some have ladies only days. Usually it's mixed and everyone is naked all the time, if they want (if it's cold out people tend to wear their bathrobes when moving around). And you sit on a towel except in the wet saunas. Swim clothing is not allowed, except on certain days.
In countries shaded with light blue, there are no uniform rules.
