  Do you wear underwear to work? If not, do you own any? I thought that Budapest had spas where nudity was permitted or even expected.

  Yep have to wear them as they are issued. The Spas where at on stage all nude. However over the years as they have become more mixed, Costumes have to be worn. There is only one spa now that allows nudity during a same sex session. Even there you are give a small cotton apron to sit on.

  [quote]One remaining swimsuit is wearing out. If it survives until our grandson goes home, I will not need to get one until our next vacation, February at the earliest. So I may have no swimwear for 6 months or so.[/quote] The more I think about having no swimwear, the better I like the idea. The swimsuit will probably go right after our grandson returns to his mother.

Neither did a fried that asked about coming last week. Younger son and his girlfriend had asked about coming over for a swim Labor day weekend but it didn't work out. Want to try again before we close the pool in 2 weeks so time is running out for them. Last swimsuit hasn't been worn in over 2 weeks but still can't get rid of it.

  Actually bought a swim brief also so that I would have something minimal to wear when appropriate.
  Also can double as underwear on the very rare occasion when I have a need for it, like dermatologist appointments.

I find this surprising. In fact, last year when I was in FL, I happened to strike up a conversation with someone who had recently retired there. He mentioned that when he did so, he got rid of all of his long slacks and never intended to wear them again. I was not at a clothing optional location.

  [quote]I have way too much clothing. 2 bathing trunks I bought for cruises, 2 speedos for swimming laps, and 4 pairs of surf trunks. I could easily cut those in half or better. Then I have a drawer full of t-shorts that I probably only wear 4-5 but most are from places Ive visited or gifts from my children. Probably 10 pairs of shorts and then 3 pairs of jeans. Then add the golf wear, Hawaiian shirts I never wear and a Few dress Shirts and slacks. We are selling our house and downsizing to our cabin in North Carolina for now so probably going to lose a bunch of clothing during the move.[/quote] Saw on another thread that you had moved. Did you get rid of much clothing when you did?

  Moved to southern Arizona a year ago. I haven't had a swimsuit in years, no underwear for many more. Haven't worn socks or shoes, just flip flops for three years, and gave my long pants away. It's nude at all times, except for outings. Then shorts, shirt, if necessary, as with flip flops.

Surprising how many men on this board have commented that they usually wear a shirt also unless they are nude. About how many shorts and shirts do you have?

Felt great. wish it could be permanent, but I do have some activities where long pants are expected and it gets cold here in the winter. Flip flops don't work for met when biking or taking a long walk, so I need socks and athletic shoes.

On my prior vacations in FL I have chatted with several men who said that when they moved there full time, they got rid of all of their long pants and only wear shorts.

  [quote]Which of the following do you not own? Underwear? Swimwear? Long pants? Shirts. The only one for me is underwear. I skipped sleepwear because I assumed no one on an nudist board would own any. Also omitted shorts because no one can be nude all of the time.[/quote] On second thought, it might be possible to only wear kilts and wraps and not own shorts or slacks. Is there anyone who does this?

  [quote]I do not possess a swim suit. I havent been swimming anywhere except our pool & local nudist resort for several years. That said, Im still in the working world so clothes are necessary. I do want to pare down the clothes and that process has begun but its going to take a while. I keep asking myself, where did all this stuff come from? That closet(s) is full![/quote] I saw that your profile page says "retired...but not really". Did your need to wear clothes decrease? If so did you get rid of any?

  [quote]I have way too much clothing, but I do have to coexist with textiles for most of my living. Now a lot of it is going unused at the moment with no going into an office, and I have one pair of pants I ordered before shutdown that I have yet to wear. My usual rule of thumb is to donate anything I havent worn in a year. Might not apply this year![/quote] True, if people did that in the spring of 2021, a lot of them would have given away everything but a few sleep pants, shorts and t shirts.

  I dont own any swimwear. The first time I went swimming nude, I realized that was the end of swimwear for me. If I have to wear something to swim, then I really dont want to do it. Soggy suits feel so unpleasant, clinging to the skin like a cold, wet second layer! I gave up on underwear for the same reason as swim suits. The material is so restricting and uncomfortable. On the rare occasions that I must wear a suit, like for weddings and funerals, I opt for a jockstrap. There's something about the texture of dress pants that makes me feel like I need a little something underneath in the front. I do own pants and shirts, but not in abundance. I absolutely hate spending money on clothing, period. Particularly in winter, I do need a few essentials. I can honestly say there are vast stretches of years between each time I purchase a piece of clothing. When I do, its always very basic attire, something on sale or inexpensive. I find that all I need are a handful of outfits, and when I have to dress, I simply wear them repeatedly. This approach leaves a LOT more room in the closet to store other truly necessary items. As others have expressed, it sure would be amazing to do away with ALL unnecessary clothes if I lived in an environment and climate that allowed for it. Still, I strive to keep it down to the bare essentials!

  I agree that the material in suit pants is uncomfortable against my crotch. I went for about with just slacks and a blazer for dress occasionally son I didn't need any underwear. When our son got married, my wife and sister convinced me to buy a real suit, so I bought underwear to wear with it.
  When I reduced my clothing supply my wife appropriated most of the empty space.
  Although you didn't mention it I would assume that you don't have any sleepwear.
  About how many pants, shorts and shirts do you have?

  I don't own a swim suit, no underwear or socks. I have a hand full of shirts and shorts, but only a couple pair of long pants. I use pants when I'm cutting out blackberry bushes and when I go out in public when it's snowing sometimes.

Do you take advantage in warm weather of the fact that Oregon is relatively tolerant of public nudity?

  There is just something about the blend of fabrics (some wool in good suits), that just isn't conducive to no underwear. Definitely no sleepwear. Sleeping in something is simply the sleep of the damned for me. Although when I did wear something to sleep (too many years ago to remember now), it was underwear (how ironic). I have about a weeks supply of clothes, i.e. a couple pairs of shorts, jeans, t-shirts, and shirts. Just about the amount I would need to take a trip that isn't clothing optional. Those trips do happen, although, wherever I am staying, I still sleep nude. I used to take something to sleep in, but now I just don't care.

  Sleepwear is the only one I don't own! I've slept naked or in boxers since I was a teenager. Still spend most of my life clothed these days so the rest are very useful, but I'm hoping to be able to do some naked swims this year.
