To think scrunch bum leggings look fucking shit

Also, I wouldn’t really be happy with my DS essentially going out in his trunks, so those shorts all the teen girls are wearing are crazy. Like it’s not a sexist thing for me, I just don’t want to see two half-arse-cheeks belong to either sex when I’m running errands!

It does slightly worry me that there’s not much further to go. What exactly is next, surely not just wandering around in pants (please god no).

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.

Maybe all very well at the gym - I’ve only seen them (flesh coloured) at the bus stop.

Just as well there wasn’t any old bugger with a weak heart in the queue.

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

Just looked them up. Omg, the confidence required!

We used to call anything that went into your crack 'Hungry arse' clothes. These fit that description perfectly.

On a side (thong) note- I used to do karate with a girl who proudly admitted that she only ever wore thongs. When you consider the amount of stretching, kicking etc and add in the heavyweight fabric of a gi, it used to make me wince and wonder just how far up she wanted to floss...

It’s fair enough if you don’t like them, there are many items of clothes that I don’t like.

But some of these replies are very rude and judgemental about the people wearing them.

Why is it women's clothes that are sexualised? Again?

A humongous ass is generally seem as attractive nowadays 🤷‍♀️ vs ironing board bums

I'd never wear them but I don't mind the normal cycling shorts/ active wear shorts and leggings. Not the scrunch bum ones! However I don't like the trend for wearing cropped or normal tops etc with them when everything's moulded to your bottom half, no one wants to see your camel toe/ hoof etc

They're awful but not as bad as the primark all in ones that have fanny flaps

Cost £20. £19 worth stuck up your arse crack.

Just dreadful.

Vile things and the women wearing them usually have a humongous arse. Looks horrible.

I was walking down the street today behind a young neighbour - let's just say I see the pizza boxes spilling out of her bins - and I wondered if she has any conception of the view from behind? Or does she just not care? A part of me kind of admires her for having the confidence not to give a fuck about looking so trashy.

OMG is that what they are? Went into my local town earlier this week as had an appointment and saw women walking around with their arses on show. I'm usually in the office during the week and never go to shops thanks to t'internet. I thought they'd all been to the gym but then realised it was 'fashun'.

Makes them look cheap imo. Why bother with clothes?

Gosh! The ones with the puckering - like the most gigantic bum hole ever! Had no idea these were a thing. Don’t think they would flatter my tired old butt.

Can you get ones with eyeballs printed on the buttocks? Surely Wish or somewhere do them? You could have great fun with optical illusions on these...

I totally agree with this. They just look a bit tacky and grubby to me.

They remind me of this from man down. I bought some by accident (just thought leggings were leggings, how wrong I was) they look utterly ridiculous and they are the most uncomfortable things I’ve worn. How anyone squats in them is beyond me.

'Not Kardashian extreme arses, but a nice peachy bum.'

That makes sense. I will admit that I really don't like the Kardashian look at all, but I came of age in the late nineties/early aughts when we thought Jennifer Lopez was bottom heavy. I spent my late teens and early twenties in compression tights and doing exercises to make my bottom look smaller and trimmer, so the 2010s were quite the shock.

If you have a nice bum, it’ll show regardless! I don’t see why people can’t just wear standard leggings instead of these ones that instantly grab your attention. It’s OTT even though I do agree that we can all wear whatever we want

Crop tops or bras are definitely more hygienic than these could potentially be though - while I am not keen on the look, it's more how they are essentially flossing your butthole area that bothers me. Also doesn't sweat (etc) escape onto gym equipment more than with standard leggings/shorts and pants underneath? Of course women can wear what they choose, but some of us are struggling to understand what makes people choose these!

It's an age thing. we all dislike what the next generation favours.

My mum was young in the fifties /sixties and her mum hated her big skirts and back combed hair . I was young in the seventies/eighties and my parents hated punk styles, permed big hair and shoulder pads. My own kids were young in the noughties and I wasn't crazy about the emo look they favoured.

plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
