Staff told visitors in a notice: “Bald older gentlemen with hairy torsos must either bring their own blow-dryers or just buy a more absorbent towel”

Staff at a swimming pool have been forced to ask men to stop using communal hairdryers on their nether regions.

Bosses at the swimming pool, based in Sundhöllin, Iceland, even issued posters around the venue.

They show an elderly, naked man pointing a hairdryer at his private parts.

Drawn over the image is a large red ‘X’.

Workers at the swimming pool felt the need to officially warn visitors after local man Haraldur Jónasson wrote a letter of complaint that was published in a local newspaper.

His complaint was entitled: “This is not a ball sack dryer”.

After the letter was published in a local paper, swimming pool bosses put up the poster.

It reads: “Don‘t dry your ball sack or your butt with the communal hairdryer in the swimming pool or the gym.
