Fear not the $80 handover for the gaudy florescent floral one-piece at the gift shop. Yes, Forgetful Charlies can call the front desk and ask for a disposable bathing suit.

Here are some participating hotels:

• Ritz Carlton New Orleans
• Four Seasons Boston
• The Fairmont Olympic Hotel Seattle

As mentioned in the Wall Street Journal this week, they are called "The Dipster".

"It only comes in one color, a blue-and-white houndstooth check, but the pattern works fine for both sexes…Women get a choice of a two piece model or a one piece.

Let us know if you've tried them!

[Publisher's Note: Just went over to the Four Season's Boston to snap this shot. These things look like the faux scrubs they give visitors at the hospital, or as the WSJ puts it "like the outer layer of a disposable diaper". The suit in the photo is the mens version, the women have a choice, one piece or two. The trunks we shot were made by Swim-eeze. Their site shows you all models, if you are interested. This company, out of France, makes some sort of speedo version of the dipster...eeeww.]
