Most girls who wear them in my gym look great but there are a lot of size 8, flat stomached, toned girls there! To be honest, if I was 25 years younger and looked like a did back then, I'd own 10 pairs 👍

Me too! I’d be wearing them everywhere if my arse was 25 years younger.

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!!

😂

Some of the young girls wear them where l work, they have good figures but it's awful to see how the older security guys leer at them.

I blame the Kardashians. Seriously, cover it up.

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

Sometimes they look good, sometimes they don’t.

It's an odd concept though you must admit

All the young crowd seem to wear them at uni. Admittedly I am a straight, older woman, but they are hard to miss for the wrong reasons. Makes me grateful I'm not a straight, older man. I'd be frightfully uncomfortable.

shockwaze · 25/10/2023 21:28

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.

My bum is prominent enough and needs no extra attention drawing to it 😂
I don’t see people wearing them at the gym I go to. They are quite odd looking, I don’t own any nor do I wish to!

Topsyturvy78 · 25/10/2023 21:26

I've just googled what they are. I hate them leggings. Couldn't think of anything worse than making my bum look bigger than it is.

Gymmum82 · 25/10/2023 21:26

Literally everyone wears them. You’ll struggle to find people not wearing them at the gym. Problem is they only look good if you’ve got a good bum and 90% of people who wear them are not in that catagory

BravoMyDear · 25/10/2023 21:25

The woman that stands in front of me at yoga wears them sometimes and I CANT STOP LOOKING AT HER BUM. Its phenomenal.

I would definitely not look like her in them.

I just googled them and can't see how they are different from normal leggings. There are a few pairs that are a bit ruched around the seam at the back - a bit weird, but most are just leggings. What am I missing? Can someone link?

If your ordinary leggings look like this, you're wearing them wrong.

Spendsonend - why do you think they look nice

They tend to be thicker than normal leggins and normal leggins very often lose shape at the knee and bum so add some wrinkles and sag that werent there before.

I dont own any. Im middle aged and hide my body away.

Chypre · 25/10/2023 21:24

Call me a prude but search algorithms are on my side - pink/tan colored ones are explicit verging on anatomical…. That’s what the google search returns, an explicit content warning (for leggings photo).

The flesh coloured ones are comedy level awful. Black doesn't look too bad.

TravellingSpoon · 25/10/2023 21:23

I always think it looks like they are being sucked into a giant vortex that is where the bumhole should be.

They also look they would be super annoying to sit on, on gym machines for example, which is what they are meant for.

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.

🤣🤣🤣 Yes, I too am strangely fascinated… I mean WHY?! 🤣

Flissz · 25/10/2023 21:19

Genet, they are meant to be like gym wear , but the type that shows of your very well toned bum. Some women like them, I don't.

TheaBrandt · 25/10/2023 21:19

They go up your bum. They are hideous.

Don’t blame teen girl parents though many of us are worn down and have given up ney have minimal control over our offspring’s horror arse baring clothing choices.

sollenwir · 25/10/2023 21:17

The word hideous springs to mind. I would also question how hygienic the 'right up the bum' look is as they day progresses, not matter how clean you start out earlier in the day.

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.
