Who here owns no swimwear and only goes in the water when they can be nude?
If so, how do you avoid circumstances where you need one.
I do own and use swimsuits at times because I like to sometimes go with textile relatives and friends or have them visit us and swim in our pool and also when traveling and nude venues are not available.
However, I have not worn a swimsuit on a NJ beach since 2019 and only a handful of times since 2015.

Please askApr 30, 2026This is my approach. I don't own a swimsuitper se(I have short shorts with no liner that would work as such) and will forego swimming if I can't do it without clothing. The discomfort is simply not worth the pleasure of the swim.ReactReply - J.
J.Apr 30, 2026I do own one swimsuit, but it is 25+ years old. It doesn't get much use, so it is still in good shape. I mostly wear it TO a swimming location, but remove it before swimming. I wore it off the ship for a shore excursion in Cozumel on the last nude cruise we were on but removed it on the way to Paradise Island and it stayed in our backpack until our ferry was half way back to the cruise terminal. Thankfully it was dry and easy to put on. The last time I wore it in the water was our last non-nude cruise when I wore it all day at Coco Cay. Having a wet suit on all day reminded me why I normally swim nude.

In my own pool only and every time nude. We have no legal CO beach in Queensland so a swim in the surf requires swim wear, which I do own. Regular trips to New South Wales legal beaches and must say its joy to be nude in the surf.

As has been proven many times that you post some weird unproven ideas I decided to Google search.
This was the very first thing I found
Yes, you can legally wear a thong at a New Jersey public beach, as there is no state-wide ban, though it may be frowned upon in family-oriented, conservative shore towns. While public decency laws generally prohibit full nudity, thong swimwear is typically allowed

Now you say many towns. Are you (as usual) making this up as you go? Ok..which towns have banned thongs?ReactReply
