Help clarify the 3 day method by Lora Jensen Going naked?

Sorry for so many potty posts from me, it will stop eventually! I just over prepare myself usually and my research always pays off but I really feel under prepared. I even went to the library to try and research tons of different methods, I see extremes. 3 day method or them basically telling me my LO won't be ready until almost three and leave it alone.
DH and I are thinking of doing the three day method, if she is having honest trouble telling that she has to go still or something legit like that we drop it until she shows more signs but I think the 3 day method could work.
I read the three day method on baby center and they say to have them naked at home basically for 3 months and no undies just lose pants when out.
Is this what the three day method by Lora Jensen say? I really can't afford the book right now and that is the one difference I can see. The website for her book says they should not go around naked.
Any other big differences? It seems pretty doable but my mom watches my DD for me a lot and she thinks her going naked is "barbaric". Well I will put my foot down if I have to but I thought I would see what you girls said.
TIA

How old was your LO? Sorry if it is in your siggy I am on my phone
My dd will be 2 years on the 20th and she shows half the signs. I can't tell if she is aware when she goes potty because she will sometimes tell us but most of the time she doesn't worry about it.
I think I can get her excited about being in big girl panties though.
I also have cloth diapers in the house but don't use them anymore. Should I put her in cloth for naps? Night time too? That way it's not a less but she will feel it more.

I didn't read the book - so I have no idea what it says. Here is what I can tell you what worked for us.
We PT'd when LO was 2 1/2 - the week between Christmas and new years when I knew we didn't have a lot going on and we would both be home.
1. We went out and bought a bunch of underwear that LO got to pick out.
2. We put diapers away. We switched to pull ups for naps and bedtime but other then that it was underwear.
3. We got a potty ring for the big toilet and and already had a toddler potty from my attempts to potty train at 17 months (LOL). The toddler potty went with us into the living room and the ring stayed on the seat in the bathroom.
4. We used M&M's and stickers. I printed off a chart that has a fire man on one side of the paper and his fire truck on the other and a path of little flames in between. When he went potty on the potty he got to put a star on one of the flames and when he connected the whole path he got a prize from my magic prize bag (ie - a bag of dollar store items) He also got M&M's- 1 for pee, 2 for poop.
5. At first, those first few days ,we put in on the potty every 15-20 minutes. He had accidents, but also had successes. We celebrated the success and made very little deal over the accidents. On day 2 we ventured to target, and got through it without accidents. On day 3, we ventured to the mall b/c they were having after Christmas sales, and there were 2 accidents- but luckily there was a bathroom close by and I brought changes of clothes.
6. On January 3rd he went back to daycare- in underwear, loaded with a bag full of changes of clothes, some stickers for his chart and some m&m's. Some days were more successful then others, other days he went home with every outfit wet and needing to be washed, but he stayed in underwear. daycare had him go potty every 30 minutes while he was there.
7. It went on like this for a few months, and then suddenly mid march or so- BAM! no more accidents. But we were still having to remind him to go. a couple months later, maybe May or so, he finally realized he could use his words and tell us when he needed to go. and he has been fine ever since.
I really truly think that moving him to underwear was key, and keeping anger and frustration out of it. Like I said, accomplishments were celebrated but accidents were handled calmly and very matter o factly. Oh, of course M&M's helped too

I have to talk to our daycare on Monday. DD is starting full time in September and I know they will be working on potty training but they haven't said how. Next week we go on a mini vacation then We have a few weeks where nothing much is going on, the last week of August is fairly busy. We do have one family birthday party and her own party but I can work with those. So I though this may be a good time to really establish things at home and have daycare reinforce it. I would prefer it this way Instead of having daycare take the lead when parenting is my job. Lol. But we will see after Monday on all that.

Nope- I called the teacher and let her know we had been working on it all week and that LO was going to return to school in underwear. I asked her what they us to bring to help make it successful and she said lots of changes of clothes, socks and shoes and an open mind
We talked about how often he was being put on the potty and she was super supportive.
We did have a little regression a month in where he was going through every pair of underwear and clothes I brought, and I asked her if she wanted us to go back to diapers. She said no, that this was part of the process and that we should just keep moving forward, not backward.
Good Luck!

She actually said that she wished more parents would just bite bullet and move directly to underwear vs using pull ups. She said the process is always more successful.
Also, I forgot to add- we never did full naked. The first day at home we did underwear and a shirt, but after that he was in full clothes.

We tried going to undies completely when we did the 3 day potty training (DD1 was 22 months), but it just did not work for overnight. My daughter still can't hold it all night and does not wake up to go. She sleeps really hard. She's 3.5 and still wears a pull-up at night.
I plan to start next week but we will have 4 days at daycare in her current room before she moves up and starts going full time. Should I keep her home or ask her current class, that doesn't typically deal with potty training, to work with her and possibly deal with accidents?
