Striptease shows in bars are once again banned in Saskatchewan, although stripping for charity will be allowed, the province says, but only once a year.

On Thursday, the province said changes to regulations to ensure exotic dancing and alcohol don't mix are now in effect.

The government legalized stripping in licensed establishments last year, but a few weeks ago Premier Brad Wall said he had changed his mind and would reverse the change.

The changes come with an asterisk — stripteases for charity or fundraisers at places that serve alcohol will still be allowed in special event venues like theatres and concert halls on one occasion a year.

As was the case before, full frontal nudity is not allowed, meaning dancers will have to use things like pasties to cover nipples and G-strings to cover their genitals.
