Body confidence.
Not many of us have a lot of it (except for our pals over at Victoria’s Secret who happen to be brimming with the stuff) and however hard it may be to see women who are in your mind, perfect – what we as women need to consider is that body confidence isn’t something that’s bestowed upon us – and if we want it, we really have to work for it.
Whether it’s going to the gym to feel active, or simply taking the time to embrace your curves, your lumps and your bumps, it’s beneficial to take the time to come to accept yourself as you are – and that means spending more time in your birthday suit.
Check out 5 activities you should most definitely be doing naked…
#1: cleaning out your wardrobe
Is cleaning out your closet one of the tasks you’ve been putting off for months? The best way to get through it and to decipher what you should keep and what you should toss is to get in the nude and try on each piece as you come across it. Straight away you’ll be able to discover what looks good and is worth keeping – and what should be binned, immediately. It’s also a great way to get familiar with the shape of your body and what really suits your shape at that point and what doesn’t work so well.
#2: vacuuming
Like a mini workout, vacuuming the floor is an effective way to get your body moving and allow you to embrace your wobbly bits – while simultaneously toning them!
#3: your make-up
In the morning, it’s well worth stripping down to your birthday suit while applying your make-up for a couple of reasons. The first, it allows you to finish your look before struggling with the same ‘what do I wear?’ dilemma and secondly, it’s a great way to become comfortable with the look of your body, and may even shock (and please) your partner, too!
#4: pilates/yoga
Whacking on a strengthening workout video is a great way to see how your body responds to movement and stretching. Spiritually, it’s a great way to shift your way of thinking past, ‘but I look terrible in the nude’ and into ‘hey, my body actually looks alright stretched out like that!’ so put up a mirror beneath the telly and just go for it!
#5: cleaning the shower
The best thing about getting dirty in the shower is that it’s an easy place to get clean again! Ditch the threads to jump into the shower and give it a good scrub, before inviting your partner in with you to help clean you off, too!
Okay, so just because I know all of your minds went there, I’ll spill. There is something else you should be doing naked – and if you want to make it extra awesome for both of you, you should try Durex Mutual Climax Condoms. They’re the perfect accompaniament to that kind of activity as they contain a special lubricant designed to pleasure your partner and a special ribbed and dotted design, which makes them extra awesome for you, too! Hey, if you’re going to get your gear off, you may as well make it worth it, right?
