“But even when you can ignore all the body-shaming media and advertising, you’re still faced with the task of finding a swimsuit that fits well.  For ‘plus-size’ women and women with large breasts, it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack.  When you do find your holy grail of a suit, you’re lucky if it doesn’t come with a hefty price tag. . . How much of a relief would it be to skip this whole process and go to a nude beach or nude pool instead?” – Felicity, YNA, http://youngnaturistsamerica.com/why-bathing-suits-are-pointless-and-unhealthy/

“Probably one of the most recognizable benefits of being nude, is that you are free from restrictive clothing . . . This begins with being free of those undergarments that are maybe a little too tight with that elastic band, the bra that is a little too small so that it holds up the breast, and for those with a little more weight than they like, that ever so tight girdle.  You ever wonder why the first thing paramedics/medics do is unfasten clothing especially bras and tight fitting shirts and pants.  The answer is that these items tend to restrict the flow of blood.  If you can run around the house in the nude . . . [it] is always a good thing.  You will truly get better blood flow.  But, if you must wear clothes, loose fitting, but tasteful is always recommended.” – Jessica, http://femalenaturist.blogspot.com/2013/05/nudity-health-benefits-of-being-naked.html

“Along with nudist parks, some entrepreneurs have started nudist housing developments apart from traditional nudist parks.  There are even entire naked communities in Central and South America to where folks can retire.  When you get down to it, nudist parks started as intentionally naked communities from the beginning, places where city and suburban families could have little summer cottages, where they could enjoy freely the benefits of nude living.” - Tom Pine Newdesletter, 17 #1

“A few months ago we were watching a program on TV about the RV lifestyle. . . One of the items in the program was Clothing-Optional campgrounds. . . a few weeks ago . . . my wife brought it up suggesting it would be fun to find a Clothing-Optional campground and go see what it's all about. . . I called the office at Shangri la Ranch and explained my wife and I would like to visit for a weekend and it would be our first time at a nudist resort.  They were more than happy to accommodate us, even putting us in an RV space right across from the club house, pools, cafe, and hot tub.  After setting up camp and having lunch, we shed our clothes and headed for the pool.  It felt so natural and free, we immediately felt at home.  We went to the dance in the club house that evening and had a ball dancing naked for 3 1/2 hours.  We did not care we were naked and no one else cared we were naked either.  We met several very nice couples who were excited to meet us and celebrated our first time with us.  Rose and I can hardly wait to go back.” - Mark & Rose, Arizona, http://aanr.com/first-time-nudist-experience&page=20
