MemberIndulge my curiosity:
If you have your own hot tub, or have used a private one, did/do you wear a bathing suit? DH is convinced that it’s the norm to go au natural, but I’m not so sure…

MemberThis would depend how private it is. I’d feel weird sneaking out into the backyard naked if neighbors could peek in, but if it is totally secluded then sure – skip the suits!

MemberIf it’s just me, or me and SO, yep, naked!
If I’m in there with the kids, we wear bathingsuits (of course).
MemberIf it’s just me and Darling Husband and it’s secluded, then sure, I’d skip the bathing suit.
If it’s in sight of the neighbours, we have company or children joining us, I’d wear one. I actually keep a bathing suit just for swimming pools/hot tubs as chlorine is hard on bathing suits and I want to keep one nice for the beach.
But as always, it’s your comfort level.

MemberNaked. It’s so liberating to not have to wear a bathing suit.
MemberIf I had my own or it was private(meaning meant for us only and randoms dont have easy access) then I’d skip the suit. I wouldnt even care if the odd person could see us if they were at “just the right angle” but def not in plain site LOL.
If its out in the open, kids are near by or company then a swim suit would be worn.
MemberWell, both times my parents have had a hot tub it was wide open in the backyard. SO yeah, always wore clothes.
HostessIf we had our own and we didn’t really have to worry about nosey neighbors, I’d totally skip the suit! However, we go over to FI’s best friend’s house to use his hot tub every so often so yes…I wear a bikini haha.
MemberIf we are using a private one (at the spa/in our hotel room/outside when we have a room with a garden) then I skip the suit. Once we buy our first home and hot tub put in, I’ll skip the suit as long as it’s in the evening and neighbours can’t see directly into our back yard.
Anywhere there is people or in a public area, I would wear a suit for sure!
MemberI wouldn’t mind swimming naked but I have no idea where you could do that. The idea of sitting on anything without a barrier of clothing creeps me out. I don’t even sit down in a bath tub. Eww. And I am a fairly busty gal and they’re not saggy but sitting chilled out and naked makes me feel like they’re flopping all over the place.
MemberEither my Darling Husband is right or we’ve got a lot of nudies on the bee 🙂 I was raised in such a modest/proper household, and it took me months to get used to sitting in a hot tub naked!
MemberIt just depends! If it is private and just us- naked. If it is outdoors with neighbors or family members or kids- suits!
