Wristband Poll

[Guest]

[EricNY]

Ok based on the new wristband topic to indentify us as naturists lets get some info

[krcNY]

I voted for clear

[nakednudists]

I voted for clear...no color=no clothes.
I can't wait to get one.

[FireProf]

Clear, yes...I'd wear it, not sure about my wife, she might from time to time, maybe not as often as I would.

btw, thanks for posting the poll ercNY!

I wouldn't wear one, the wristband fad is dying, they are kind of lame now, it seems like everyone has a band out for everything, it was better when there was just a one or two of them, when it accually ment something.

The "fad" wristbands may be dying but for those wristbands that do mean something, we shouldn't allow the meaning to die.

Young people get tired too easily and bored with fads very quickly nowadays. Though these young people are the main reason for many "fads" or trends, these young people don't realize that some of these so called "fads" direct our attention to causes that are very worth while and bring attention to those causes and shouldn't be allowed to fade away.

If you believed in a cancer cure, were against drunk driving or believed strongly in naturism, you wouldn't wear a wristband to show your commitment just because some of those your age now think it's lame or no longer a worth while cause or just a "fad."

If anyone even notices that you have one, how would they know for sure what it means?

[nakednudists]

Simple Jon-marc, they ask and you tell them. After awhile, they will have an identity to them...as the yellow ones do, for example, or the pink ones.

[FireProf]

Jon-Marc,

I think the idea is for us to tell them what it signifys. Some will be very up front about it, others may be reluctant, but for the most part I think the idea is for those of us that purchase them is to identify other nudists in the crowd.

We'll all be checking each other wrists out from now on! Strange body part to watch as strangers walk by.

I can see it now....."hey pal, you checking out my wife's butt?" "No, actually I was looking at her wristband!"

Awsome! Thanks ErcNY for the poll. It seems pretty apparent that I'm wrong about orange and the color is CLEAR or nothing at all

Clear was my second runner up, but I was told it would be hard to read or notice....but....seems like a landslide favorite.

The slogan or saying I had in mind was "Live Naked"...kind of sumarizes the nudist lifestyle without stereotypical labels and at the same time a little tounge-n-cheek about the whole wristband fad.

Personally I think it's an effective way to promote conversations about nudism. It's not nearly as bold as a t-shirt, but people also can't pass judgement at a distance. It allows for conversations, questions, answers, and you can easily remove it if you see your boss around town

So I guess the idea is kind of out there now....free to steal. ...On your mark, get set, GO!! hehe

[FireProf]

I really think you've got a great idea here and we need to send e-mails to TNS and or AANR and see if this is something they want to have made and sell on their websites or INA can take the lead.

At any rate, there will be some initial costs. Do you remember any of the particular costs for purchasing 1000 of these bands?

If it's not too expensive, some of us here can venture into this, it doesn't have to be one of the established org's.


Update: I just e-mailed a company in San Diego Ca. regarding these. This company has a 2500 wristband minimum order. I'll get a quote and then start comparison shopping.

How about alternating clear & orange beads? Or otherwise a group or pattern of orange beads in a line of clear beads.

Maybe the orange beads could have letters or symbols on them with some hidden meaning regarding naturism.
