I went to Gunnison today, As I was getting out of the car, another car pulled up to me and a man got out. He was wearing only two triangles of cloth covering the rear and crotch and attached to a narrow waistband. I asked him if he bought it or made it. He said he took an old t-shirt, cut off the bottom and pulled a thin elastic strip through the bottom hem. He then opened the sides and cut away as much as possible without causing indecent exposure. When you are done, you are (just) adequately covered yet completely hanging free underneath.
By the way, even with such minimal coverage he took it off as soon as he was out of sight of the road.
I didn't think of it at the time, but this is really a 2 for 1, since the top of the shirt can be worn as a cropped top when you have to wear a shirt but don't want to.

StevieLornaSep 23, 2023[quote]Barrrel, shorts , suit trousers or childs sock with bit of elastic. They all take the same movement, amount of time to remove when you get to the naturist section. On this subject, it surprises me how many men wear a shirt in addition to what they are wearing below the waist. No need to wear a shirt if you are male and increases the time and effort to get nude,[/quote] What????ReactReply - GS

At Blind Creek Beach, a food truck shows up in the parking lot around lunch time. Bet that guy could use some help with gettin' the word out to the beach that he's arrived.ReactReply - DA
DanSep 23, 2023Sarong is a good idea. I just bring a colorful lightweight Turkish towel and wrap it around my waist sarong style. Its much lighter than a regular towel and dries off fast when you use it after swimming. Since I usually bicycle to the beach, lightweight and easily packable items are best.

StevieLornaSep 23, 2023We were watching The Lord Of The Rings last night, it occurred to me that the character Gollum only ever wears a little wedge of cloth to cover his nakedness.
Which is how I imagine the men who want to wear such things looking.
Much more Smeagol and a lot less Tarzan.ReactReply - EA

It seems that bare backsides are becoming more common and acceptable according to what I see in beach videos. Perhaps, all you really need is to fold your towel over your arm and carry it in front of you or use both hands to carry your cooler. Can't get much more minimal than that.

A friend of mine who knows I like to be minimally clothed asked if I was going to drive it in a swim brief with the top down. I replied that since I was sitting down I might as well wear a g string. In actuality I have driven my convertible with the top down quite a few times in a swim brief, but never in a g string or nude. Perhaps if I could walk to the beach in the g string it would give me incentive to drive that way with the top down.ReactReply - ST

Shorts still dominate for blokes, although Speedos are relatively more common up there.ReactReply - ST

When I tried it, there were no such situations encountered. It was even quiet enough to get out in our driveway and enter the house. :-DReactReply - TD

SteveSep 25, 2023Those should pass any test. I'd prefer the lined bit to use skin-tone lining, though, so that the pouch area looks the same. I'll stick to loose running shorts in lieu of those, though. :-)

Naked-GDec 13, 2023I have done the same. Tshirt, shoes (usually flip flops) and nothing else. Gas stations , rest areas, bars, restaurants, beach. Its a great feeling. [quote]For me the worst part of wearing clothes is having something like a belt around my waist, so I wouldnt like a kilt or loin cloth. What I prefer, when I have to cover up, is a large, extra long t-shirt, which I have been using for several years. Ive gone out in public numerous time wearing jut that t-shirt and a pair of sandals with no problems. Im sure some people think Im weird, but I dont worry about that. I also use it to cover up when I answer the door. No one has ever commented about it. And it has a pocket.[/quote]ReactReply - TD

I am much more comfortable with some sort of waistband than have my chest, back and shoulders covered by a shirt, but to each his own! Actually, if I had my way, I would only wear a shirt from May through September for church, theaters, concert halls, upscale restaurants and public transportation!ReactReply - ST

EarlDDec 15, 2023[quote] I proposed tying a thin cotton cloth (like a pareo, sarong or bandana) round your hips. If you know how to do it, there's no need to tie it cramped, so it doesn't feel like a belt at all. You wear it quite loose around your pelvis. For me the feeling is quite ok both as "just in need" cover-up as also as skirt for casual wear.[/quote] Simple practical solution and response.ReactReply - TD

Brett RapleyDec 19, 2023[quote]The small loincloth would meet the legal requirements also. Do you also not have a problem with that? I have never said I have a problem with what people choose to wear, I defend anyones right to where what they like. You can wear a g-string or cut so much leg out a pair of shorts that one bollock hangs out each side, with a top that doesnt go past your nipple. Thats your right thats absolutely fine with me. I just judge that to be weird. Even a fit young guy who chooses to wear an item designed for women Id think is weird. Thats me judging someone, I do that all the time, so does everyone else, all day every day we judge what we see. The only people I dont judge are the people who say they never judge people, because they never judge me (I bet they do though) they dont deserved to be judged.[/quote] You are contradicting yourself with what you say here, after reading your other comments in this thread ! It's not your place to judge others and what they dress in or create as some form of crotch cover. If you don't like it, don't bloody well read it.ReactReply - BR

You two have got some cheek, putting others down for being creative. Simple point of fact, he was covered enough to not warrant arrest for lewdness. So where the F is that causing you two a problem ? Or is it that neither of you can keep those lips closed long enough for someone else to get a word in. You pair don't have or know the rule book on nudism/naturism, so keep your SAD opinions to yourselves, the rest of us don't want your negativity.ReactReply
