I don't do stuff in the water because my skin is so sensitive, but maybe I could just fold up my towel.  I doubt anyone would even notice - the workouts are so intense and focused, I never notice what other people are doing :)  I'll definitely look into hot pads.  I was even thinking of cutting up like a piece of foam and taping it there.  The things I'm willing to do in the name of fitness.  Haha

OMG  I have just notices a similar problem in the last couple of weeks, never thought I would hurt to sit, but I can actually palpate my tailbone now!

Are you able to use a yoga mat for the floor portions of your workout?  Most everything done on the floor at the gym we do on a mat.

No, the intervals are very quick with little to no down time in between stations.  I think I can probably try just folding my towel.  There's not a ton of floor work that affects this area, so I don't want to drag a yoga mat there and back every time I hit the station bc of lack of time for it.  This a super bare bones gym :)

I use an exercise mat when doing floor work. Find one that is thicker than a yoga mat. That wont do.

Crazy, right?  I look at the number and I'm just kind of speechless, which rarely, if ever, happens to me ;)

I wear a SI joint belt. It has the cushion for the tailbone. I have back and tailbone issues and waiting to see a surgeon and want the damn tailbone removed. Not sure if that is an option or not but I can't sit no more, painful tailbone issues and when I sit the pressure on tailbone hits a herniated disc in my back. No fun, only allowed to walk flat surfaces for a max of 20 mins. Generally just spend all my time laying in bed.
