Hahaha, very funny responses. Yes, we are all nudists and being naked is the best feeling, however when at a textile beach and some form of garment must be worn...why not thongs? Our local beach is not nude legally, we can find small out of the way places to be nude, but if we want to be at main beach, we need to wear something. I have thongs, g-strings and a pouch I've designed to wear at these times. Thongs have a place at public/hotel pools as well. I prefer to be nude, but when I can't, wear as little as possible.

I have a crotchless thong. It's great on the beach. Lot's of people ask me where I got it. It's a lot of fun to wear to. But I do agree, you're not naked unless you're NAKED! :)

In reply to those who find thongs uncomfortable because of the fabric between the legs, this can be because many manufacturers insist on putting two bulky hem seams on the crotch fabric.My solution is to wear g-strings and not to pull them up so tight that the string irritates.

Wow,
I am surprised at how many responses this topic generated. But to clarify what I was really talking about was people posting pictures in thongs clearly taken inside their house. Not at a clothing optional resort or beach. Most do have some totally naked pictures so protecting themselves is not the issue. I can understand wearing a thong or jock at clothing optional places to ease in to it might be needed.

I am surprised how many TrueNudists post pictures of them self in a thong or T shirt.I just can't imagine ever wearing a thong or G string or jock strap. I hate my bits being confined.In the textile world I'm dressed but without any underwear.I wear a light wrap ifI need cover on the way to the nude beach. I can see the purpose in wearing a T shirt if it is too cold to be naked. But I think it looks comical when a man is naked only below the waist. And why have them in photos? Wearing just a T shirt or a thong can look more sexy than total nudity. Are we into sexy or into true nudism? So, generally for me, total nudity is best in a nude venue and in photos.

In Australia we wear them on our feet.

I wear thongs daily when dressed as one of those strange characters that find them comfortable, though that depends on the brand. If I need to go outside my fence at home I from time to time wear one instead of a wrap.
If in a place where I can be nude I will be, but wearing clothing and having things bouncing and rubbing , for me, is uncomfortable

I think Audiobiker is correct in that there is a time and place for thongs and t-shirts at a beach, resort or for women at certain times. However, if you can take the time for a photo then try and take off the thong for a few minutes. I do understand that we women get self conscious and while exposing our breasts is not that big a deal anymore letting the world see our vaginas can be quite personal. I never had a problem letting everyone see everything at anytime, but I'm not everyone.
It could be that many of the photos in profiles are model photos copied from another site and simply posted in TN, too.

Oh, and by the way, thank you to everyone who have not let this also turn into another sexual discussion by the, "Everything is normal and natural," crowd.

I am of the opinion that since this is a nudist site and not a thong site, might as well be nude. I am wondering if a "thongist" is just a shy nudist? At any rate, I don't own a thong and cant imagine ever wearing one, but to each their own.

I dont like thongs, I prefer a lap lap, maybe I should stick some Velcro to the hips then the lap lap could be worn with no strings attached.
