I had always wondered what it would be like to go to a nudist resort. I loved and miss the feeling of being naked. A dream come true would be a long hike in nature without clothes. Having a double ostomy made me give up on this dream. With the recent heat, I've come to really miss the feeling of not having anything stuck on me. Two bags in the heat are not the most comfortable thing in the world. So, I did a thing. I have a backyard with lots of privacy. I stripped naked, took my bags off, and napped in the grass. It was an amazing experience that I'm embarrassed to share, but someone here might enjoy.

New ostomate, we’ve all gone through feeling low and depressed over your ostomy.
This is a pretty open group. Right now, in summer, it’s a low response time—lots of family things going on. If you need something, call out. Someone dealing with your situation will post something sooner or later.
It’s just that time of year.
Take care, and good luck.

I've been to semi-nude, nude beaches in France and Tahiti. After a couple of days... you get used to it. Did see a lot of nasty sunburns... especially in Tahiti. Mostly American tourists unaccustomed to tropical sun.

I know of a lady here in Oz who is a nudist, and also lets the bag flap free when clothed. Have even seen pictures of her hot-air ballooning with her naturist mates (definitely not for me, that burner is hot enough on your head let alone any delicate areas!)

I'm thinking of a manicured lawn... professionally landscaped, so well maintained, no critters—Alex T. would be jealous.

😅 Never freed the bag but have flashed "the girls", many years ago on a holiday in NOLA after one too many hurricanes🍹, the joys of being young and fun in the days before the advent of smart phones, no permanent digital footprint of what the hell we got up to! 🤭

I told my doctor the one thing I miss is being really naked.
It only happens when I take a naked shower and the few minutes before I put a new pouch on.
She told me, "Yup, it is those simple things that are missed."
Great. But I still miss being naked. I have scars. From my open ostomy surgery and a C-Section. I don't really know what I look like naked these days.
Folds, scars, stoma.
Don't feel normal or pretty.
