I didn't know you're supposed to get naked. My boxers got very hot and burned me.

yeah, that will happen...sometimes i go and wear a bathing suit though..but that is partly because im breast feeding and am afraid of burning my "moo moo's".

Done the tanning thing many times. Just a suggestion. As for the boxers....don't. Going naked takes care of tan lines and you're not really protecting the family jewels, since the UVA's and UVB's are going right through the material, but you can take a small towel or wash cloth, if it will make you feel better.

As for burning the breasts....try pasties or the towel idea. You'll end up with a small stripe going across between the nipples, but it's better than a burn, and much more comfortable while nursing.
Good luck.

Wow..paying for melanoma...what a great idea!!

Lol, agreed Buttercup. I'm really pale and burn very easily though, so no tanning beds for me.
