Hi Guys!
My wife and i are new nudists and have a question about what sunscreen is best for your privates?  Does it matter? is the 50 sport the best? can't imagine a bad burn there.
Thanks!
Mike

    I've just used whatever sunscreen I was using on the rest of my body.  50SPF probably isn't necessary unless you're spending all day in the sun. If you'll only be out for an hour or so, a lighter SPF should work OK. Don't forget to do your butt, especially the tops of the cheeks! That part has a more direct exposure to the sun even when you're standing.

    In nudism there is no class distinction, so the privates can use the same thing the generals use.

    The only time I have had a chance to be outdoor during a sunny day against the evening my bottom was slightly red made worse due to most of the time I was gardening so bending over, but must be hardening up now even though most times I am out nude the sun is behind clouds.So yes if and when the sun comes out again it will be treated the same as the rest of me.

    I found that spray sunscreen can be uncomfortable when sprayed on the male genitals. I'm not sure if that's because I shave my equipment or if it's just an irritable area. I like spray sunscreen because I hate to rub in lotion all over my body but I use lotion on my cock and balls, usually a 50.

    Best to use one that is sweat resistant.

    I heard a long time ago that SPF 29 is the highest effective rating, anything higher is fluff marketing. Anyone know otherwise?

    I would suggest anything that is for sensitive skin, like the sunscreen for faces or for babies is best for your privates if you get irritation

    Good question!  Last time at a resort I forgot to use it on that area and got way to much sun.  Bad move!

    You can't never have too much sun screen or too much SPF on your Peepee as Thomas calls it LoL.

    Got a bad sun burn on "The boys" and Glans long ago and I assure you that I'm never doing that again :( for it was a long and miserable week having to wear clothes to work after that.

    [quote]Interesting. I've never had sunburn on genitals. Shoulders, upper back, upper buttocks, chest, when I go too long in the sun they'll get burned. Never noticeably on genitals. But them I spend most of my time verticle and not horizontal.[/quote]I found my penis tans faster than the rest of m, I suspect a genetic evolutionary thing? But having got badly sunburned when I fell asleep on a beach on my back once I use sun cream there and on my shoulders at least. I used to be coy about putting it on, now I dont bother

    Sunscreens are said to be effective for about two hours, so reapply liberally several times each day.  Fortunately we can be naked at home on our deck so we build up a pretty effective tan before we get to any of the resorts. Last trip to Club O we took about five cans of sunscreen spray in checked baggage.  We checked one bag on the way down so the $25 fee more than covered the cost of the sunscreen.

Anyone know otherwise?[/quote] Higher ratings are not necessarily better ... and, you may have heard that some sunscreens have chemicals in them that could bemore harmfulthan no sunscreen at all.:-/... So, you might want to do some research on which sunscreens are the safest, with your doctor or at websites like webMD and draxe.com.

    The spray sunscreens typically have alcohol in them which can dry and irritate those sensitive areas especially if you shave.  I just use SPF30 cream and rub it in or use an oil pump spray and rub it in.

    [quote]...It was a choice of wear briefs and have them tightly rub against the fabric when walking,  boxers and have them lightly rub against it (sometimes more painful than briefs), or go commando and have them lightly rub against what felt like sandpaper (the worst).[/quote]
    Some bikini material is soft ...almost as smooth as silk, form fitting and moves with you, so there is no, or very little, rubbing at all... but anything touching you might still be painful. :-/  ...  I haven't tried that kind of bikini with a sunburn, so, thankfully, I can't speak from experience.
