**British woman visits German sauna for first time and makes awkward realisation**
Livi, an actress from Devon who now lives in Germany, shared a number of things she was surprised by when arriving in her new home - including one which she said "would put most Brits in a coma"
By Ian Craig, 26 Mar 2026
There will always be a level of adjustment needed when moving to a foreign country, or even when just visiting. But some differences can be more unexpected than others.
One British woman who now lives in Germany has shared a number of things she was surprised by when arriving in her new home - including one which she said "would put most Brits in a coma". Livi, an actress from Devon, shared the culture shocks she had experienced since moving to the European country in September last year.
And one involving the dress code in saunas caught her off guard. Writing in a TikTok video, she said: "I can't take photos of this for obvious reasons, so here's a fun wooden spoon I found instead. I know the 'dress code' is the same in other European countries, but not in Britain (and I think it would put most Brits into a coma)."
One commenter asked for more information, saying: "Wait can u elaborate on the dress code in saunas? What's so different?" Livi replied: "You're naked in German saunas!"...

**No pants Penguin comedy show makes a triumphant return**
By Liz Hobday, March 28 2026
A comedian who pretends to be a penguin by performing mostly naked is trying to get on television.
That's not actually a joke - Garry Starr, the starring character in comedy show Classic Penguins, really is making a bid for the small screen.
The show picked up a string of awards including most outstanding at the 2025 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and a recent run on London's west end sold out.
It's now just a few nights into a four-week return run at the Malthouse, for Melbourne's 2026 comedy festival.
The idea behind Classic Penguins is that Starr performs all of the Penguin Classic novels in an hour, in order to save books from extinction.
He does it dressed as a penguin, or rather, undressed. Starr performs in flippers and a tuxedo jacket, but no pants - because penguins don't wear pants.
Garry Starr is the alter ego of performer Damien Warren-Smith, who studied under the late clown guru Philippe Gaulier.
Warren-Smith's team pitched a comedy series to streaming and broadcast networks earlier in March, and while he is excited about one - or possibly even three - television projects in development, his heart is in live performance.
"I love live work because there's nothing standing between me and the audience but television is a whole different beast," he says...

**Pictograms, rope and posts to deter misuse of sand dunes adjoining Bredene’s popular nudist beach**
By Colin Clapson, Wed 25 Mar 2026
Authorities in the West Flemish family seaside resort of Bredene have now decided more clearly to demarcate the popular local nudist beach. New signs displaying rules of conduct and pictograms have been put up, and posts with rope stretched between them mark the boundary with the adjacent nature reserve more clearly. Bredene city fathers say the measure has been taken in response to what is termed the ‘repeated misuse of the sand dunes’ behind the beach.
A section of Bredene beach, at the water’s edge, is officially designated as a nudist beach. It is Belgium's sole officially recognised nudist beach. Stretching for 4 kilometres it offers privacy as it is a secluded setting bordered by a series of protected sand dunes and not a promenade.
This is a zone where full nudity is permitted. However, behind this area lies a series of sand dunes that form part of a nature reserve managed by the Nature and Forests Agency. According to Bredene Mayor Kelly Spillier, some visitors have been displaying inappropriate behaviour in this area, but no more concrete details are available. The local council wishes to put a stop to this...

**How to Go to a Nude Beach With Your Friends (And Not Feel Weird About It)**
There’s a sweet spot between not looking at all and looking too long.
By Matthew Wille, March 26, 2026
You make plans to go to a nude beach with your friends for the first time, and for five or 10 minutes after booking the tickets, you contemplate the nude portion with a plethora of emotions swirling in your stomach. To have your feet in the hot sand surrounded by your friends’ (and strangers’) pubic hair and bare asses; it’s an image that, in the abstract, excites, fascinates, and inspires anxiety.
You mostly forget the image (though it does sit in the back of your mind, somewhere) until you’ve nearly arrived at your destination, whether near or far. You’re hopping off a plane or a ferry or an Uber and looking at your smiling friends like, Oh, right, there’s a solid chance I’ll be seeing every bit of their bodies in a few minutes. And you’re not quite sure how to feel about that, just yet.
A friend gave me this advice ahead of my first trip to a nude beach: “Just be chill about it.” Good advice, generally, though it didn’t exactly hit at the complexities of my clothing-optional anxiety. Upon landing in Zipolite late last year, a co-ed group of friends and I pounded down to the cove at the end of the beach, Playa del Amor, to catch the sunset. No one in my group made moves to take off their bikinis or speedos just yet. I caught glimpses of every kind of nudity as we ran east along the water: straight couples, gay guys, older people, younger people, everything in between. No one seemed self-conscious; no one stared...

**Life modelling is not for everybody, but it is for every body**
By Hayley Nicholls, 11 March 2026
“Dropping the robe for the first time is the hardest part.”
So says life modelling aficionado and creative entrepreneur Lauren Sutherland, who runs regular events inviting people to show up to crowded venues and stand around naked.
For most, this is the stuff nightmares are made of. But throughout Canberra, more than 60 models are available to do just that.
One must ask: Who are these people?
Lauren says some are simply comfortable with their bodies and looking to make a little extra cash. It’s a paid gig after all, with models earning about $50 per hour.
However – don’t all volunteer at once. Lauren says there’s a little more to the gig than “just rocking up and taking your kit off”.
Firstly, models choose their own poses and must hold them for long periods.
“Physically, it can be more demanding than we give credit for,” she said.
“It’s not natural for us as humans to be rigid in one pose for extended periods of time. You need to sit as still as possible, be conscious of how your body is positioned, think ‘Am I going to lose blood flow, or trap a nerve or something?’ and just be hyper-aware of what your body can and cannot do.”...

**Naturist Camping Guide: Naturist-friendly Campgrounds and RV Camping Options**
March 27, 2026
Ready to strip away the stress of daily life? Clothing-optional camping is a liberating way to experience the great outdoors with total freedom. Whether you are curious about your first trip or you are a seasoned naturist looking for new spots, this guide covers everything you need to know.
Here is a quick look at what’s ahead:
Understanding the Lifestyle: Naturism or nude camping is about body positivity, self-acceptance, and connecting with nature in a relaxed setting. It removes social barriers and helps people appreciate real bodies while experiencing the outdoors more.
Top Locations: The USA offers hundreds of clothing-optional campgrounds from coast to coast, including California’s historic Lupin Lodge, Florida’s modern Bare RV Resort, Vermont’s rustic Freedom Campground, Texas’s upscale LODGE @ Runaway Bay, and Missouri’s family-friendly Sunset Mountain.
Etiquette Essentials: Always sit on a towel (the Golden Rule), never take photos without permission, maintain eye contact when talking, understand clothing-optional vs. nude-only policies, and keep the atmosphere family-friendly with no sexual behaviour.
Packing Smart: Bring two towels (one for sitting, one for drying), high-SPF sunscreen for newly exposed skin, bug spray, flip-flops and hiking shoes, a hat and sunglasses, warm clothes for evenings, and a beach bag to carry essentials.
Getting There: Renting an RV with Indie Campers gives you the ultimate privacy and comfort for your naked adventure, with your own bathroom, kitchen, and retreat space while still enjoying the social aspects of campground life – plus unlimited mileage to explore multiple naturist destinations.

**This Secret Natural Spring In Colorado Is Almost Too Beautiful To Be Real**
By Oliver Ryan, March 27, 2026
You know that feeling when you stumble upon something so gorgeous you have to pinch yourself to make sure you’re not dreaming?
Rainbow Hot Springs in Pagosa Springs, Colorado is exactly that kind of place, and it’s hiding in plain sight along the San Juan River.
Let me tell you something about Colorado: we’ve got more hot springs than a spa convention, but most of them come with admission fees, crowds, and rules about what you can and can’t wear.
Rainbow Hot Springs is different.
This is nature’s own bathtub, completely free, totally wild, and absolutely stunning.
The springs sit right where hot mineral water bubbles up from deep underground and mixes with the cool river water, creating pools that range from “ahhhh, perfect” to “okay, that’s a bit toasty.”
And the best part? You get to be the architect of your own soaking experience.
The locals have been coming here for years, carefully arranging rocks to create pools of varying temperatures and depths...

**Are Brits warming up to the naked sauna?**
The Scandis do it, the Japanese do it, but stripping to sweat has always felt out of bounds here. Now we may be shedding our inhibitions
By Claire Cohen, March 21 2026
For years now I’ve been a frequent visitor to nations where sweating in a small wooden room is a traditional pastime — think the Nordics, Germany, Austria and Japan — where no one would dream of wearing swimwear. I’ve merely joined in, like the purist that I am, feeling all the more smug for it. But at home in Britain? It always seemed somehow against the rules. Until I heard the story of Halsa Sauna near Swansea …
Halsa, which was told to close by the local council last week, suggests that things might be starting to change. The beachside sauna was shut down after neighbours complained about “naked and semi-naked” guests being visible to the public (although the owner has insisted the site is sheltered).
It might be bad news for Halsa, but I felt encouraged on hearing that people were not only interested in going to a sauna, but actually disrobing once there. While we have embraced the heat in the UK — according to the British Sauna Society, there are now more than 600 public saunas, up from 45 in 2023 — we have been slower to strip off. Abroad, nudity is part of the experience and swimwear is often banned.
Could it be that Brits are finally feeling bold enough to strip off?...

**TELL US: How do you feel about Germany's embrace of public nudity?**
By Paul Krantz, 24 Mar, 2026
Germans generally have a rather liberal perspective on nudity, with saunas and beaches among the places where locals like to get naked. Do you find Germany's 'free body culture' liberating or intrusive? Share your thoughts in our reader survey.
We all come to Germany with certain ideas and expectations. Assuming you did just a bit of research before moving to the Bundesrepublik, you might've been prepared to battle a bit of bureaucracy, or to put up with less-than-punctual trains and face a not insignificant language barrier.
But were you prepared for the naked people?
Foreigners who live in Germany tend to learn quite quickly that the country takes a rather liberal approach to nudity. Here, a so-called 'free body culture' (Freikörperkultur - FKK) is celebrated, and not always in private or secluded places.
This is perhaps not so surprising to people coming from some other European countries, but can be quite shocking for the unexpecting American or Brit, or anyone coming from cultures that are less open to letting it all hang out.
From mixed-gender textile-free saunas to FKK beaches, even daily life in Germany is not always for the prude. And that's to say nothing of the nightclubs that encourage adult themes.
Some argue that the German pro-nudity attitude is natural or even healthy -- that it encourages body positivity. But people who can't get used to it are effectively left to learn which places and activities to avoid.
How do you feel about nudity in Germany? Did it surprise you at first? Have you learned to embrace it, or do you avoid saunas and certain beaches?...
