showering nude?

[Irulan]

I work out at a smaller facility, and it tees me off no end that people use the toilet stall for changing instead of the changing area. The changing area has curtains, chairs and hooks but they are small is all. It's not like we don't have a changing area.

I skimmed through the article, and I'm looking forward even more to going to Iceland now I've been there before for one summer, but that was as a dirt poor student with very limited options to do things.

While I've never seen anyone inspect (or chastise!) anyone here for their showering routine, swimming pools here are big on everyone showering and washing well before entering the pool, and they have a point. At the pools where people don't wash well in advance, more skin particles and hair go into the water and they have to use a lot more chlorine to keep the water clean enough. I hate that, the chlorine smells and makes my skin dry and irritates my eyes.

It's been very interesting reading this thread, especially the posts mentioning how social norms have changed over the years.
