Our Most Frequently Asked Question by Women: Q. How Does a Woman Deal With Her Period in a Nudist Park or at a Nude Beach? A: Menstruation is looked upon as a normal, healthy function. The wearing of shorts or the use of tampons enables women to enjoy most of their nudist activities. It is not a subject of notice or comment. During this time of the month for women, many nudist women will wear bathing suit bottoms. What they all wear to prevent leakage is a mystery to me, but my wife did wear tampons most of the time. During the first couple of days, we didn't visit nudist venues. She felt more comfortable staying home until she was able to control her flow with a tampon. Going without precautions to capture menstrual flow in the nudist setting is not recommended. You wouldn't do it in a textile setting so you shouldn't do it in a nudist setting either. There are thousands of women nudists that are still full time nudists while menstruating. They all take the usual precautions. Doing this doesn't make them any less a nudist, full or part-time. Jenn
