I had to Google what they are. Hideous. Don't understand why anyone would pay money for them.

cycling shorts are different - typically you don't wear underwear and tye padding is to protect your arse and Willy/balls or Fanny from the saddle

I bought a cheapy pair off Amazon. (Blows own trumpet...) I have a great arse, thought I could really pull them off.

Put them on. My dear god. DH fell about.

Later that evening, he gets the giggles again. "Where's those cats arse trousers? Go on, put them on again, pucker pucker pucker!" (now crying with laughter at the thought of how they looked) "pleeeeeeease, just put them on, once more"

In the bin they went.

„Cats arse trousers“… 🤣

’Us girls’ ?
’Karen’ ?

just drop the misogyny and the fakeness

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

samupnorth · 25/10/2023 22:40

Everyone wears them at my gym. Bum sweat on display everywhere.

Why because I don’t like women being body shamed?

Show quote history

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

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

The very ruched ones just make you look like you have a giant arsehole.

They really do!! 😱

I have an urge to pick them from the wearer's crack. But I resist because I don't want to end up on a register.

Puffwiththegreeneyes · 25/10/2023 22:35

As I've said upthread, I don't have an issue with these leggings and actually think they look nice sometimes.

BUT I did see a woman in a pair of leggings (not scrunch bum) and I could see her actual clitoral hood outlined through the front. I think it was a bad combo of the particular legging fabric, her specific anatomy and the fact that she was very slender with no fat on her pubic mound (and I'm assuming an all-off bikini wax). That did make my eyes pop out!

It was made worse by the fact her crotch was at my eye level due to her coming down some steps I was going up.

Consideringachange2023 · 25/10/2023 22:35

The super obvious scrunch leggings are a bit much for me but pulling your leggings up in the thigh and bum area is infinitely more flattering than a saggy mono-bum where you’ve just got a flat square arse.

Just pull your leggings up ever so slightly for a bit of definition. Makes the bum look so much better, no wedgies needed!

Dunno about you but I don't do my weekly shop in my bikini

Show quote history

You're missing my point - that, whether you would personally wear a bikini or not, most people don't think anything of seeing them worn inn public places - beach, swimming pool, even sunbathing in a park, for example.

What is it about the supermarket, as opposed to any of the above public places, that induces your disgust?

Either we say women (and men) should cover up in all places that are used by the general public, or we don't. There is no logic to saying beach = fine, Sainsburys = unacceptable.

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 25/10/2023 20:37

I find them a bit obscene but weirdly fascinating. I marvel at the women who want to display their arse crack so prominently.

That’s how I feel about them too!

Robotalkingrubbish · 25/10/2023 22:33

Faircastle · 25/10/2023 22:26

I think it's the ruched effect that makes them look so... anatomical.

Yeah they look like you can see your actual arsehole.

smooththecat · 25/10/2023 22:33

More than once I’ve done a brief double take, fuck, that woman forgot to put her trousers on! There was one in particular leaning into a car. Idk, I can’t get too worked up about it, the arse hanging out of the bottom of shorts look can be a bit confronting/bit more than I was expecting to see. Tbh though, a lot of shirtless men are really pushing it and most don’t have the bod, and being fully half undressed is a lot more flesh to have to take in and compute. The wobbling semi-naked man on an e-scooter is a new phenomenon that I never saw coming.

theduchessofspork · 25/10/2023 22:32

Nowherenew · 25/10/2023 21:25

As with most things it depends on who’s wearing them.

Sometimes they look good, sometimes they don’t.

It doesn’t

It’s just degrees of ridiculous

No one looks good when it appears their clothing is being sucked up their arsehole

Nowherenew · 25/10/2023 22:32

shockwaze · 25/10/2023 22:07

Sometimes a bit of body shaming is needed

Just wow!

Mumsnet really has got nasty.

I’ll assume it’s jealousy and that you couldn’t wear something so skin tight.

Robotalkingrubbish · 25/10/2023 22:31

I honestly thought a woman bending forward to put her child in the car seat, was naked from the waist down. But no, it was skin coloured scrunch bum leggings. WTAF?

GarlicGrace · 25/10/2023 22:30

RandomNutter · 25/10/2023 21:54

Don't normally stick up for men, but tbh, I can't think of many that would agree to wear something so ridiculous, naked and uncomfortable looking.

Show quote history

Hmm. Plenty of men's cycling gear comes in translucent white and/or with high-contrast bum padding. Let the guys have their moment, too 😂

It's true that these leggings will show every lump and wobble, but from a revealing standpoint, they are no more revealing than swimwear.
