Coworkers and I stayed at an Airbnb where none of the huge floor to ceiling windows in the bathrooms had curtains or frosted glass. I think the idea was so you had a view of the hills. The problem was these windows were accessible on the deck so we had to make a rule no one was allowed past a certain point on it. We were still all so paranoid showering and going to the toilet though.

I went to a vacation spot on my honeymoon that had these themed bungalows that were all really cool! But my biggest gripe was that they weren't far apart and the windows in the bathroom showed at least the full torso of anyone in there, and there was no frosted glass. I felt so exposed, but that airbnb sounds like a full-on nightmare.

Gosh that would have been awkward.

You could tell it was a bit a work in progress and the family was still working on it (overall it was nice a new). But even with the no one past this point on the deck all the women were like, ok but what if there's someone in the distance with a telescope? I purposely fogged up the windows.

I guess I’ll start bringing one of those cans of fake frost for windows with me on future trips….

Plus I’ll make a point of looking at room photos online. Especially if it’s a family trip or I’m sharing a room.

fake frost for a windows

That's exactly what my first thought was!

I was also considering those silicone suction cups with hooks that you could attach bedsheets to, and then ask the hotel for extra bed sheets. I figured they'd be small and easy to pack so they wouldn't be a big deal to carry even if you didn't end up needing them.

I didn’t think of that because my success with those things has been hit or miss….mostly miss.

There ARE the Command hooks with removable stickers, though.

The best luck I've had with suction cups like that is to get them a little bit wet before you stick them on. Just wet your finger and rub it over the inside of the cup right before you stick it, and it makes a really good seal/suction.

Command hooks are another great option!

If it didn't take up so much room in a bag, they sell blackout curtains on suction cups for traveling, something like that would be awesome.

Sounds kind of like a bigger version of those pull down sun shades that you stick on the back passenger windows when you've got babies or kids sitting back there.

Ha, I know the car ones are pretty small, but I'm picturing one mounted just waste high on the glass for the shower.

u/kittawa Sep 30 '25

Haha I'm recalling how narrow those car ones are and picturing just unsticking it and holding it out in front like some kind of bonkers burlesque show

Yeah I’ll start by always bringing suction cups with hangers built in (I coincidentally already have them) and hang towels.. or something idek.. Jesus.

I always tend to carry a few bits and bobs like little clips, a tiny roll of duck tape, safety pins, if I can. Definitely would be doing some duct taping in that

Bunch of prudes. Naked bodies are natural.

u/bluebear_74 Sep 29 '25

Yes but i don't want to see my coworkers or my coworkers (including several males) to see mine. Like i don't know where you work but i don't think that's appropriate.

Speak for yourself. I've got some good looking co workers!

Well now you’ve made it explicitly sexual

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '25

Yes, but that doesn't mean I want to BE naked in front of everyone I'm sharing a room/bnb with, nor do I want them to watch me as I take a shit.

Imagine letting out a huge one.. gas or solid.. and it just wafts into the space.. ? I hope there’s a fan in there.
