You'll be given a kind of a handkerchief once you're in : find a free cubicle, undress there, and cover yourself with it. Take your key, and ask the guy to double-lock it for you.
Just wander around, from hot to warm to cool baths, dry heat, steam room... The best way to end a busy afternoon, and to get ready for the beginning of your evening.
