Bali a number of times with my wife. We saw nudity amongst Balinese people in the Tulamben/Amed area, in Ubud, at Bali Cliff, up the beach a bit from Seminyak and even in Jimbaran Bay. It didn't bother us. We neither looked nor avoided looking, if you get my meaning. I lost my wife coming up to 3 years ago. I don't think I will ever get over it, but I have to accept it. There is no option.
I was in Bali last August/September with my lady friend. She is not concerned about nudity. We were eating at Murnie's Warung in Ubud. If you haven't been there have a look at: http://www.murnis.com/warung/warung.htm
We were on one of the lower levels. Some young Balinese women were bathing in the river just below us. My lady friend could see them from her seat and said they were certainly topless and probably nude. Then some young Balinese guys came walking up the river with towels wrapped around their waists and there was the usual giggling and friendly chit-chat.
Not so long ago it was the custom for Balinese women to be uncovered from the waist up and this can still be seen in some of the more remote areas.
I don't believe in telling people what they should or should not do. I offered some logical options for your consideration. It appears that I was mistaken in assuming you were male and suggesting speedos. Sorry about that.
