Even the name is horrendous

Baboons spring to mind. David Attenborough needs to do his next documentary in Pure Gym.

Not in my gym, these monstrosities are definitely in the minority. They are usually worn by those who use the stairmaster.

Not in mine either.

This thread is making me chuckle.

I take it back about banning PJs at breakfast (see slobdom thread) in hotels. What if they all wear these instead, in protest? 😱

On an individual level, I don’t care what women wear. On a societal level, I hate the idea that women’s clothing has morphed to needing to accentuate and draw attention to the anus, like some kind of baboon mating call. There doesn’t seem any such need for men to draw attention to their anus and rounded butt cheeks. We might kid ourselves that wearing what we want is empowering, and our arse exercises more effectively on display, but I hate that so many young women are essentially willing to buy into their own objectification by big corporates.

I bought a pair of thongs once. I was in pain within a couple of hours. Honestly felt so sore. I went to the loos whipped them off and stuffed them in my handbag. I'd get thrush wearing these leggings

I don’t think anyone looks good in any leggings really.

A lot of the SAHM/WFM mums wear them in our (apparently) top 10 richest towns in the UK. Average dress size (apparently) is a 10. They look good in them - and I do too

Those up your bum leggings aren't great though, I've noticed a few stains.

CheshireDing · 25/10/2023 22:17

Well today I have learnt something new ! I have seen these leggings on the school run and often wondered - does the wearer have a good bum, are they wearing some kind of tummy /butt control underwear, how does their bum look like that when they have really big thighs, is it an optical illusion with the pattern/fabric etc? These are just some of the thoughts I have had when often seeing these. Now I know there is a name for them ! And it’s mostly to do with padding and ruching by the looks of it !

also why do people wear them in flesh colours (horrendous) with white tennis socks pulled up over the top ?

wishes I had an arse that looked like that 🤔

MovingAround90 · 25/10/2023 22:17

The first time I saw someone wear a flesh coloured version of these was in a restaurant, and as she was walking out I noticed what was either sweat or discharge leaking through to create a wet patch all up her fanny.

Probably not her best look.

Restingbitch2 · 25/10/2023 22:16

I’m sure it’s been said but this thread is arguably gold for someone with an “arsecrack leggings” fetish… 🙈

EtiennePalmiere · 25/10/2023 22:15

This thread comes up a lot on MN, everyone seems to be in agreement. Today I saw a woman whose skirt was so short you could actually see "everything" in the front (wearing skin colored tights, thank god).

GarlicGrace · 25/10/2023 22:08

They look amazing on the young, slender, highly toned women they're intended for. A bit startling to the unaccustomed eye, but more "Wow!" than "Urgh!"

On everybody else, they look ... revealing, not in a good way 😂

I really don't agree. This isn't a question of tone. It is a question of the disgusting scrunch effect on the bottom crack, which just looks dirty. I have a 'toned' smallish bottom and am a size 8. I would not be seen dead in these.

Scottishskifun · 25/10/2023 22:14

Coming to a softplay near you soon big joy can't wait for that one 😂

Busephalus · 25/10/2023 22:13

Is it confidence required? More delusional stupidity

Goodornot · 25/10/2023 22:13

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.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

One of my colleagues posts them all the time as she has some kind of instagram partnership with a cheap sports wear company. She also pairs them with tiny halter neck bras and I'm amazed she can exercise in them.

Restingbitch2 · 25/10/2023 22:12

yesyesitsaparkingone · 25/10/2023 21:52

Just looked them up. Omg, the confidence required!

Just realised what they have always reminded me of: a centaur. (I would love an arse like that though. I have the big thighs but mine wobble.)

BeautBastard · 25/10/2023 22:12

@NoraLuka aaw you're actually a loving genius.

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!!

I didn’t know where put my face

But you knew where to park your bike.

desikated · 25/10/2023 22:12

Good lord I didn't know this had a name or was a thing. I just thought people were wearing weirdly fitting leggings.

Classic Mumsnet 😂 I do love us all, and our sour-faced disapproval.

Just off to change into a high-necked blouse and a voluminous ankle-length skirt with bustle and corsetry.

Meanwhile, guys and boys in comfy weather appropriate clothes.

This is THE saddest thing...

Absolutely

MolkosTeenageAngst · 25/10/2023 22:10

I think they look awful. Will the next trend be extending the ‘scrunch’ seam to show off your camel toe as well as your arse crack?

JohnPrescottsPyjamas · 25/10/2023 22:10

HazardLights · 25/10/2023 22:06

I’d normally be saying the same, except, come on honestly? In these leggings? It’s worse than going out naked really.

I have to confess that being short sighted, when I recently saw someone in some flesh coloured ones at a distance, I genuinely did a double take and assumed there had been a major wardrobe omission.

itsallfunand · 25/10/2023 22:09

LavaGuava · 25/10/2023 20:41

One of the mums at my DCs school wears them. I didn’t know what they were called until I saw this. They do look a bit obscene on the school run!

I've just wrote the same 🙈 I wonder if we go to the same school
