They're just something else for the desperate to be looked at to purchase. There was a woman wearing them on our flight in the summer and I just thought wtf is she actually wearing...? 🙄

CanIPetThatDawg · 25/10/2023 23:12

I remember when it was fashion for people to wear their g-string straps up higher than their trousers/skirts.

Especially the glitzy diamanté ones.

The 00s truly was a golden age of style.

Hahaha 😆

And the boys.with their jeans hanging off their arse showing of their Calvin Klines!

Show quote history

I kept wanting to grab the trousers and pull down when I saw boys dressed like that, but as a PP said I'd have ended up on a register.

whenindoubtgotothelibrary · 25/10/2023 23:11

OMG. Had to google as I'd never heard of or seen them. They remind me of Kenny Everett's 'Do You think I'm Sexy?' video - which you'll have to be a certain age to remember!

I remember celebs like Christina Aguilera doing it and thinking they were so cool 🤣

Oh god yes, the whale tail! My manager at work wore that and she would be squatting to stack the lower shelves during her day.

What's wrong with normal gymshark leggings and a t shirt?

I saw loads of women wearing scrunch leggings and gym bras in the gym today. Fine, people can wear what they want, but people will have opinions 😂

I can't help staring when I see them, must look a right perv.

This is so funny.

You must live a very sheltered life OP.

Good heavens, leggings and gym bras ….in a gym?! Whatever next? 😵

The normal people in the gym aren’t bothered about what other people are wearing. All they’re bothered about is their workout.

Don’t clutch those pearls too tightly and hurt yourself now.

Had to look them up. Was going to post about baboons but others have mentioned it. I bet this is a direct result of anal porn. They are just showcasing their anus. Grim. I also find boys jailing with their arse cheeks showing offensive and blokes that shove their hands down their trackies and play with their dicks in public.

I don’t actually think they’re meant to draw specific attention to someone’s anus, or are they? I just assumed that the scrunch effect happened to be right in the middle so that the person’s bum cheeks are highlighted. If it’s actually meant to draw attention to their anus well then fuck me

Op be honest secretly you wish you had the bum for them.

What did people really think of thong leotards over leggings and leg warmers. What a look 😍

I have lots of pairs of these. One of the pairs is also beige, which I'm sure you'll also shudder at the thought of!

I wear them for the gym because I think they look good, I'm body confident, and when I feel like I look good I'm more productive at the gym. They don't make me feel any more 'exposed' than normal leggings. If anything they're more comfortable than normal leggings for squatting, because they don't bunch up/have to stretch as much in awkward places. They don't make my ass any more sweaty.

I also only ever wear thongs so maybe I'm used to the sensation

There are plenty of things I see on a daily basis that I think are hideous. I'm 27, and have plenty friends who also wear them - it's a generational thing. What's the need for the judgement? We all have different tastes - be a boring world if we didn't! 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m 24, go to the gym often and think they’re awful. I haven’t seen one person they look good on because they’re not nice at all. If it makes you feel more confident then go for it, doesn’t mean people won’t have an opinion on the style

I think the shaming is very much directed at the leggings.

You cannot blame the poor arses being cheese grated by the scrunch.

Show quote history

Multiple posters have commented on the women’s bodies and not the actual leggings.

OP has also admitted that she thinks body shaming is deserved.

Posters can bitch about an item of clothing as fashion does change with the times but it’s nasty to bitch about someone’s actual body.

I don’t know why so many women hate other women.

They are indecent. I was in Tesco with my elderly father and a woman with a rather ample bum wearing them bent right over in front of my Dad. He said ‘Good God’ . I thought he was going have a stroke, as in a medical episode not literally. I didn’t know where put my face. Arse cracks need to be covered up!!

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

bombastix · 25/10/2023 22:50

Could be good for shoplifting. Arse clamp a family pack of Doritos and prove the critics wrong with your cats bum pants. Then it all pays off

Conkersinautumn · 25/10/2023 22:49

A joke that got out of hand. Very Little Britain aren't they.

This made me laugh 😂

They all seem to be walking ahead of me on the road outside Primark. Salmon or pale yellow seemingly the only colours available. 🫣

They are the most revolting things I've ever seen. Luckily they don't seem to have reached Somerset yet.

They've reached Cornwall. Or maybe it's holiday makers I'm seeing in them.

bombastix · 25/10/2023 22:47

Thanks for the laugh OP.

Nowhere** I'm almost fifty and have been told on numerous occasions I've got an awesome arse especially in my normal non scrunching gym leggings. The rest of me is pretty toned too more so than a few of the 20 somethings that also go

So not at all jealous

Sometimes a bit of body shaming is needed

No. What's needed is taste-shaming. Body-shaming refers to the bum under the hideous leggings and no one's bum should be shamed.
