  1. Before stripping off your clothes, close your blinds or curtains, lock all the doors, and stay away from any windows. Most countries have strict laws about nudity, and you may be charged if your neighbor sees you naked inside your home.[1]
    • You can always be naked when you’re alone or in your room, but it’s not okay (or legal) to force anyone to witness it.
    • If you live with others, such as roommates or family members, find out when they plan to return to avoid an awkward encounter.
  2. Daily tasks, such as vacuuming, doing homework, and making phone calls, are a lot more fun when done in the nude. Plus, you’ll get a thrill out of your little secret! Here are some other productive things you can do naked:
    • Do laundry.
    • Read a book.
    • Water your plants.
    • Clean your garage.
    • Catch up on emails.
    • Organize your closet.
    • Wallpaper your room.
    • Take an online course.
    • Garden or mow the lawn.
    • Handwrite letters to friends.
    • Convert all your old CDs to digital.

  3. Food and nudity don’t usually go together, but you can always combine them to spice up your usual routine. Whip up a sandwich, smoothie, or anything else you’ve been craving, and enjoy your meal in the nude.
    • If you plan to fry, bake, or heat anything, wear an apron to avoid burns.
  4. There’s no better way to binge your favorite series or have a movie marathon than doing it naked. Before sitting down, lay a towel on any furniture in common areas, such as the living room or game room.
    • Feel free to dim the lights, grab your favorite blanket, and munch on some popcorn!
  5. If you usually sleep in your clothes, try something new. Sleeping naked is not as unusual as it sounds, and lots of people prefer feeling unrestrained when they go to bed at night. Shedding your clothes can keep you cool and more relaxed as you drift off to sleep, too!
    • If you share a room with someone, be considerate before you bare it all. Talk with your roommate about your preferred sleeping arrangement to see if they have issues with you being nude in the same room.
  6. Host your own private concert or dance party at home, and feel free to go wild! Taking your clothes off can help you let loose, embrace your inner child, and tap into your playful side.
  7. Feeling extra energized without your clothes on? Enjoy the feeling of the air against your bare skin! Leap, skip, and move around the house to take full advantage of being nude.

Fun Activities to Do Naked in Public

  1. Swimming in the nude is said to be more cleansing and freeing than wearing clothes, and it may help you feel more grounded and connected to the earth. Find a public place where you can skinny dip legally, or plan to do it in a private pool or lake. The water will partially obscure your body, which allows you to get used to being naked and having fun while you do it.
    • You can find a nudist beach or resort, or search for a natural mountain hot springs or other skinny-dipping spot near you. Just run a quick Google search to see your options!
  2. Most public spas and bathhouses have gender specific, communal nude areas—men are only allowed in one area, and women are only allowed in one area. They usually offer various themed saunas, hot and cold tubs, body scrub treatments, and/or massages. Being in a space where everyone is nude can help you overcome any body image issues and boost your self-esteem.[2]
    • If you’re not entirely comfortable being nude, you can use a small towel to cover yourself or wear the robe or uniform they provide.
    • Come with a friend so that you have someone to talk to, if that makes you feel more comfortable. Some people may prefer to start with just strangers.
  3. Take a trip to a nude beach. Since everyone should be nude, you’ll probably feel more comfortable in your birthday suit as well. Nude beaches give you an opportunity to walk around in front of strangers nude, swim nude, and play beach volleyball or frisbee nude. Where else can you do that?
    • Be certain that your destination allows public nudity before you strip down.
    • Plan your next vacation for somewhere like the South of France or Australia’s Lady Bay Beach, where nudity is not only permitted but encouraged.[3]
  4. Generally, the classes are gender-segregated and designed to help you feel more comfortable being nude, no matter your shape, size, or age. Many people find that it helps them appreciate their body and shed judgment about their appearance.[4]
    • You can find naked yoga classes on online event platforms, such as Eventbrite, or get information from local or national nudist organizations. They may host their own courses on-site or know of local instructors who offer them.
  5. Some private nudist clubs and resorts offer naked running events in the U.S. and internationally. They usually welcome a mix of serious marathon runners and casual walkers seeking a unique, body-positive experience. You can find more information about these events online or check out the following resources:
  6. If you really like being naked, you’ll probably enjoy it with others. In a nudist community, you’re free to roam around at will without fear of judgment or legal repercussions.[5] You can hang out with other nudists, ask them questions, and gain insight into their way of life. They may even be able to offer you valuable pointers on how to go naked in more places and situations!
    • Many towns have resorts that are specifically designated for practicing nudists. Just search “local nudist communities” on Google to see if there’s one near you. If you’re in the United States or Canada, you join the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) or The Naturist Society (TNS).

Ways to Appreciate Your Naked Body

  1. Establish a routine that makes you feel good about yourself. It can include developing a skincare regimen, styling your hair, or wearing something that complements your body. These tasks also don’t have to be related to your body—simply going outside or listening to music can make you feel better.[6]
    • To build confidence, repeat this routine at least once a week and establish a regular day or time for self-care.
    • If you want your routine to include a walk in the park or swimming, go for it. You can do anything that makes you feel confident and/or comfortable!
  2. Nothing can make you appreciate and love your body more than eating healthy. Be sure to eat lots of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins… and don’t feel guilty about eating sweets or “junk food” in moderation.[7]
    • It is difficult to appreciate your body if you’re thinking about the extra donuts you ate or if you’re counting all of the wasted calories that you’ve taken in. It will make you feel insecure or guilty, which is counter to the confidence you’ll need to have fun naked.
  3. Instead of putting yourself down constantly, engage in positive self talk and give yourself a compliment. The confidence to have fun naked begins with not judging your body or putting yourself down. Life and recovery coach Kamila Tan says to “remember all of the wonderful things your body has done for you,” such as sustaining you as you walk, play, run, make meals, give birth, rescue someone, lift weights, and so on.[8]
    • Point out a few things about yourself that you like, and write them down if necessary. Use these qualities to counter the negative judgments that you might make about yourself and your body. For instance, if you think something negative about yourself, counter it with one of the positive comments that you’ve already identified. So, counter “I hate my arms” with “I have great legs.”[9]
    • Reader Poll: We asked 377 wikiHow readers if they think mantras and affirmations help boost their mood, and 74% of them said yes. [Take Poll] Try creating your own mantra to make yourself feel more comfortable!
  4. Any kind of physical exercise, whether it’s running, dancing, or doing yoga, helps to build confidence. Choose an activity that you enjoy. Kickball, walking, karate, swimming, and dancing, for instance, are all activities that can help you begin to associate having fun with moving your body!
    • Stay hydrated if you want to do a regular or an extreme workout. If you're not hydrated, you’ll be tired the rest of the day and also be out of breath, especially if you have asthma.
    • Exercise or physical activity slowly helps you feel more confident about your body, which is helpful when you’re nude. The point is not to lose weight but to gain confidence through body movement. [10]
  5. Get a massage or a facial. The act of pampering yourself pays homage to your body. It helps you appreciate your body and love it, which makes it easier to incorporate several of the previous steps, such as moving the body and eating healthily.
    • Pampering yourself could be as simple as taking a long bath instead of a shower. Add some sea salt or flower petals to the water.
    • Grooming activities such as shaving, combing the hair, and rubbing lotion on the body are all elements of pampering and self-appreciation. These tasks build an appreciation for the body that is independent from material adornments such as clothes, shoes, and jewelry.
  6. If you’re comfortable being naked at home, then it’s much easier to be naked around others and have fun doing it. Getting comfortable with your own nudity at home is essential to being comfortable nude out in the world.
    • Begin to incorporate nudity into other daily activities, even if you’re out of the house. For instance, try not wearing underwear, or go braless.
    • Stand in front of the mirror naked—not to criticize—but to appreciate. This also lets you get comfortable seeing yourself naked. If you’re uncomfortable looking at yourself naked, then you will be uncomfortable when others are looking at you naked.
    • If you are not comfortable going fully naked just yet, wear lingerie and build up. Lots of different types are available, so you’re bound to find one that will make you feel confident and sexy.
  7. If you have a significant other (or have a supportive friend or family member), try getting naked around them to gain confidence in your body and set aside any fears. Just make sure you explicitly ask them for permission before stripping down.
    • Being naked around your significant other more often can help you become more comfortable during sex or other forms of intimate activity.
    • Your loved ones might be okay with you being naked around the house, but there may be certain times when it’s inappropriate. Create boundaries by establishing when, where, and around whom it’s acceptable to be naked.

Tips

  • If you live with others, set a timer to ensure you have enough time to get dressed before they return home, and always have clothes that you can throw on quickly in case of an emergency. Alternatively, wait until everyone in your household is asleep before removing your clothes.
