I belong to a local naturist club. Many members have a static and stay for long periods at a time (many are retired). We dont have a sight so we go for the day or a couple of hours depending on weather and our plans.
I don't practice naturism at home, just hols and days at our local club.
The normal practice is to have a towel for sitting on wherever you are.
I am a big busted lady and to be honest it is so nice to not wear a bra. I have unusual tan lines though! Shoes are fine - comfort comes first. Crocs are popular on sites.
I dont play the 'traditional' games no...lol. I dont know why it is so popular with naturists - I've never seen them played at textile campsites!
Naked hiking, etc seems odd to me too but each to there own I suppose. I like to enjoy the sun on my skin and sit and read a book or wallow in a pool rather than do anything energetic.
If I'm on my period I tend to just wear a sarong.
My kids love it. They are body confident and they are comfortable with the way they look. I have found that kids on naturist sites tend to get body conscious as they hit puberty and they tend to cover up in their early teens. This is generally accepted within clubs and I would never make my kids be naked if they were uncomfortable with it.
Naturist sites tend to be very friendly and security has never been an issue. When we go to our local site we take a bag with everything we need; towels, sunscreen, hats, books, etc. We plonk it down on the grass with our picnic blanket and leave it there if we go for a swim.
What do I like about it - the friendly environment, the facilities within clubs such as pools, club house, etc, the fact that my kids are growing up in an environment where they see bodies come in all shapes and sizes, the confidence they have about their own bodies, the unrestricted feel of sunbathing naked.
