Wanted to see how many of you have worn a thong to a hotel pool?
Obviously, a resort hotel with a beautiful outdoor pool is a no brainer…but what I am really asking about is your typical Marriott or Hilton Hotel with an indoor pool, sometimes an indoor hot tub, that caters to business travelers.
I travel a lot for work and would love to try it but have always chickened out. I would be respectful and wear some board shorts in the hallway but I guess what is holding me back is the fear of kids coming in for a swim or hotel staff asking me to leave/checkout.
I have worn thongs at 5 or 6 different hotel pools including Marriott and Hilton chains.
I usually ask upon arrival if there is a policy about the use of thongs at the pool. I don’t think I’ve ever been told that there is an official policy at any place I’ve asked.
I travel 1-2 times a month for work, staying in hotels. I don’t even pack another swimsuit besides a thong or two. I wear them in the indoor pools, outdoor pools, and hot tubs. If there’s a bunch of kids I won’t go simply because I don’t want to deal with all the noise. If I’m already there, then oh well they see a guy wearing a thong…
The last time I traveled for work and stayed at a hotel, I was apprehensive in openly wearing a thong or g-string. I always wore them under a Cocksox swim brief and then removed the swim brief if no one was around. Since then, I have been a lot more confident wearing thongs and g-strings in public. The next time I stay at a hotel, I think I will be ready to wear a thong, regardless, who is there. Who knows, maybe I will wear a g-string instead.
When traveling, I always make sure I have several coverage swimsuits to cover all the bases. My favorite is the Cocksox brand and I have the swim trunks, swim briefs, and swim thongs, all in several colors. When I feel really daring, I will wear my the-bikini.com tear drop g-strings, which I also have in several colors. I even have a few in the mesh material. In my opinion, these can only be worn at C/O beaches and resorts or possibly at South Beach, from what I have read from others.
That’s often been my experience at business hotels. A decent photographer can make the puddles they try to pass off as pools look far more luxurious than they are in reality.
I stayed at a hotel in Sunnyvale that shared a rooftop pool with the adjacent property. It would’ve made a great hot tub, but as a pool, it was laughably small. It felt too ridiculous to even bother trying to swim. I would’ve been embarrassed if someone had come out and seen me—regardless of whether or not I was wearing a thong.
Now when I travel for work, I try to find hotels that include people in the photos or use aerial shots that show the pool in proportion to the rest of the property. That’s usually a good sign they’re not trying to hide how small it is.
I think it’s a good rule of thumb because (1) you’re adding to what’s already there and (2) there’s a good defense if someone else is a scold. My guess is that it’s more likely to generate acceptance (even if it’s grudging acceptance) than being the only person in a thong.
I had to travel to the Bay Area for work. Traveling is always stressful, but it was especially so this time. A relaxing soak in the hot tub and a dip in the pool at the end of the day at least makes it more bearable, so I try to stay at hotels with decent amenities.
The hotel where I stayed had an outdoor pool and hot tub. It’s surrounded by offices and there’s not much else nearby, so most of the guests are business travelers. I don’t think I saw a single family. It was a nice place, but definitely overpriced. I’d never consider staying there if I had to pay the bill.
I had the place to myself the first evening when I went for a soak and swim before getting some dinner in the restaurant. There were a few other people there the second night, but it was hardly crowded. The only rule regarding swimwear was, “Proper swimming attire is required in the pool.” I was the only person in a fitted swimsuit, let alone a thong, but it didn’t draw any attention. Most people were far too interested in whatever they were staring at on their phones.
Outdoor hotel pools are hit or miss, normally because they are filled with kids. I have gone to 3-4….but only one was I really comfortable at and stayed a few hours.
indoor hotel pools for me now are just about a no-go. The 1-2 times I have swam in an indoor hotel pool, I felt like I was a sneaking around and was in and out in a few minutes.
My first time wearing a String in an indoor hotel pool was during a business trip in Germany last year.
Yes, I was full of doubts before taking such kind of „risk“. The circumstances where quite challenging: It was during a congress with a lot of guests in the hotel. Among them were around ten of my colleagues.
Well, the hotel had a wellness area with a sauna and a small swimming pool. Fortunately the preferred evening activity of most participants of such events is going for a long dinner. No need to mention that drinking quite a lot of alcohol during and after the meal is also part of this program.
I ask you, what is worser? Participate at such crowded social events with the great feeling to be among like minded people or swimming almost naked in an area where people are anyway totally naked in the sauna?
However, for my stay in the wellness area I could wear a normal swimsuit and wait with the G-String until I was alone. But as you know, once in the water, there is no guarantee that other guests are coming, and then …
Yes this happened, but only one time and fortunately it was not one of my company friends.
The pool area had big windows and the next day I realized that from the road outside you hade a pretty nice view. It was one of the main roads of the town and often, the cars had to stop because there was a red traffic light nearby. So outside it was quite dark and inside dimmed light.
When I go again this year, there is no more excuse if I follow my String Passion knowing all the facts.
