Question 6

Do I have to be naked at the club at all times?

Accepted Answer

No you do not. If the weather is inclement then you would not expect to be naked. The only time you have to be naked is when using the pool, as no bathing costumes are allowed. If it is your first time visiting a naturist club, then this would be taken into account, however you will probably find that you would be more relaxed being naked when everyone else around you is doing the same. If you are a female and it is that time of the month, then again bikini bottoms are acceptable.

Do we have to strip off straight away?

We understand that if you have never been to a naturist club or are new to naturism the thought of being bare for the first time can be daunting. We have all been there so just enjoy your visit. If you’re comfortable with it please enjoy the sun and go bare, but there is no pressure.
