I Tried a Naked Dating App So You Don’t Have To (But You Might Want To)

You know what? I was curious. I kept hearing about this naked dating app that says it’s body-positive and honest. No filters. Less fuss. Just people. So I tried it for three weeks. I’m Kayla, and yes, I actually used it—awkward laughs and all. Here’s how it went.

Wait… naked? Like, actually?

Kind of. It’s an adult app (18+ only), and nudity is common. But it’s not a free-for-all. Think naturist vibes, not a late-night site. Pictures can be blurred by default. You can share a private album only when you feel safe. There’s a consent gate. And there are rules—no minors, no hate, no creepy pressure.

Was I nervous? Yep. Hands a little shaky. But I also liked the idea of showing up as me—stretch marks, soft belly, all of it.

If you’re curious about body-positive dating in general, DateHotter has a great primer on navigating these spaces with confidence and consent.

Sign-Up Felt Serious (In a Good Way)

  • I did an ID check and a quick selfie video that matched my face.
  • There was a short consent quiz. Like, do you know how to ask before you view someone’s private photos?
  • Location was “fuzzy,” not exact. Thank goodness.

It took maybe 10 minutes. A little clunky, but I felt safer after.

My First Week: Blurs, Boundaries, and One Funny Sticker

Day one, I kept my pics blurred. I added a caption: “Body positive, slow pace, coffee first.” A guy named Sam sent a message: “Totally fine to keep it blurred. Want to chat about hiking spots?” Green flag.

We did text for two days. Then a short video chat. I set a simple rule: no screenshots; keep it respectful. He said, “Of course,” and kept his camera at face level. Another green flag.

I also joined a “Sunday Sauna” group chat (all text). Folks talked about bathhouse etiquette and best towels for modesty. I learned way more about eucalyptus steam than I planned, but hey, it was wholesome.

My favorite feature? A blur slider. You can unblur a little, like peeking through frosted glass. And yes, there are stickers. I used a giant peach over a tattoo once because my aunt reads everything I do. Don’t ask.

I’ve tried my share of platforms; if you want to see how wild things can get, my dive into an extreme dating site was a whole other roller-coaster.

A Real Meet-Up (Clothes Very Much On)

We met at a bright juice bar at noon. I told a friend my plan and shared location. We sat by the window. We talked about gym locker rooms and how weird mirrors are. No pressure. No weird vibes. We hugged. I wore jeans. He wore a hoodie. Wild, I know.

After, I shared a couple more unblurred pics in the app. I felt okay about it. It was on my terms. That mattered.

What I Liked

  • Consent tools: You can keep things blurred and say no at any time.
  • Safety: ID check, report and block buttons, and quick-to-find rules.
  • Community tone: More “be kind to your body” than “say something gross.”
  • Real talk: People post unedited photos. Soft bellies, surgery scars, farmer tans—normal human stuff.
  • Video first: Easy to confirm someone’s real without giving your number.

When so many platforms still tolerate rude comments, the reality of body shaming on dating apps is a reminder of why those small design choices matter.

What Bugged Me

  • Small crowd in smaller cities: Some nights felt quiet. Like a sleepy diner at 3 p.m.
  • Pushy notifications: “Someone viewed your profile!” Okay, cool, but… calm down.
  • Moderation lag on weekends: I reported one pushy message Friday night. It got handled, but it took until Monday morning.
  • Paywall creep: Private album controls and read receipts sit behind a paid tier. Not shocking, but still.
  • A few fakes slip through: The selfie check helps, but nothing’s perfect.

Safety Stuff I Actually Used

  • Blur by default; share slowly.
  • Video chat before any in-person meet.
  • Public place, daytime. I like coffee shops or parks near busy trails.
  • Tell a friend. Share your plan. Set a check-in text.
  • Turn off precise location.
  • Block fast. You don’t owe anyone access.

Real Moments That Stuck With Me

  • Maya, a breast-cancer survivor, shared her story in a group room. The comments were gentle and brave. I cried a little.
  • One guy sent a “Hey gorgeous, unblur now?” with four emojis. I blocked him. No drama.
  • A couple asked if I was open to a picnic at a clothing-optional beach. I said no thanks. They replied, “Totally fine, have a sunny day.” Wildly respectful.

Who This App Fits

  • If you’re a naturist, or curious and careful.
  • If you want honesty about bodies and hate heavy filters.
  • If you can set boundaries without apologizing ten times.

Who should skip it? If nudity makes you tense, or you hate cameras, this will feel like a fire drill.

Costs and Bits People Always Ask Me

  • Free version works, but the paid tier adds more control: private albums, better filters, and fewer ads.
  • Matching is simple: age range, distance, a few tags like “hiking,” “sauna,” “art nerd.” There are even hyper-specific options such as elite golf dating if you’d rather bond over birdies.
  • You can keep your face hidden. Plenty of folks do. Voice chats help build trust.

A Small Detour: Body Image Is Loud

I’ll be honest. The first time I unblurred a full-body shot, my stomach flipped. Old thoughts showed up. They always do. But then someone said, “Your smile looks soft and real.” That word—real—felt like a blanket. It didn’t fix everything. It helped. For more perspective, this deep dive into how dating apps impact body image and self-esteem offers grounded tips for keeping your confidence intact when the swipe culture gets loud.

My Verdict

Not perfect. Not for everyone. But if you want care, consent, and regular people showing up as they are, it works. I’ll keep it on my phone, especially in summer when meetups feel easier and the light is kind.

Score: 7.8/10. Bumps for kindness. Dings for quiet nights and the paywall nudge.

Quick Tips If You Try It

  • Write one clear line on your pace: “Text first, video later, public meet.”
  • Use the blur slider like a dimmer switch.
  • Keep photos simple. Natural light. No filter haze.
  • Say no fast and polite. “Not a fit, thanks!” That’s enough.

If you’ve ever wondered how it feels to be seen without all the edits—this came close. Scary, sure. But also soft, and honest, and a little bit freeing.
