Even the name is horrendous

I really hate both these and the current trend for thin cycling shorts. I mostly see beautiful young things in them which makes this horrendous fashion easier to bear but I would far rather see teens in the brightly coloured leggings and baggy sweatshirts of my own teen years.

Was there ever a more mumsnet thread than this one?!

biscuitnut · 25/10/2023 21:12

Stop! I just snorted orange squash down my nostrils right onto my phone screen 🤣

coxesorangepippin · 25/10/2023 21:12

I told DD I was thinking of getting some, because she wouldn’t be seen dead wearing the same thing as her mum <tactical parenting>

^^

Very nice!

They look so hideous, I just don't get it at all.

No1MumPendant · 25/10/2023 21:12

I’ve never heard of or seen these before. They are truly hideous.

Butterkist8 · 25/10/2023 21:11

It's just the same with ordinary leggings worn with a short top.
Unless you are a gym babe and are less than a size 6 your bum will undulate and ripple and show off all your cellulite like a rancid lava lamp.

Sorry ladies... wear what what you will but some of us will snigger . Poor men folk will just stare and wonder.

And yes , I'm a judgemental old trout , but at least no one will ponder my wibbly arse cheeks and think 'fookin' hell.'

TiredArse · 25/10/2023 21:11

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

The leggings are bad but the shorts are worse!

Leotards and obscene sexualised women and girls clothes are so disgusting.
Gyms are full of those. Meanwhile, guys and boys in comfy weather appropriate clothes.

biscuitnut · 25/10/2023 21:08

That was my first thought as well! Talk about an itchy crack.

Blanketpolicy · 25/10/2023 21:07

They would be nightmare with my piles! 🤣

I saw them on a young lady a few weeks ago and actually said wtf out loud before I could stop myself!

🤣 10/10 parenting

I saw a woman wearing a flesh covered pair today - she was wearing granny pants underneath, which rather defeated the object. She was also pushing a toddler who had bare feet (it was cold here today) so I'm afraid I did rather pull a face like a disapproving Lady Button.

Did an exercise class behind someone in a pair of those. She didn't half get a noticeably sweaty crack!

biscuitnut · 25/10/2023 21:03

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!!

MrsMitford3 · 25/10/2023 21:01

Omg. I also had to google.

laughably hideous. why/who wears them?

I see Khloe Kardashian is a spokesperson so I think I have just figured out the answer to my own question...

Jellycats4life · 25/10/2023 21:01

There’s a school mum who wears them a lot, and the first time I saw them I swear I blushed. They were obscene looking!

meganorks · 25/10/2023 20:59

Also, entirely unsuitable for exercise. The number of sweaty arse-cracks I saw at the gym was not fun. Surely no woman wants to think that she has a visibly sweaty arse while exercising?! And yet, surely they know?

Areallyboringperson · 25/10/2023 20:58

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.

You see I can’t imagine women buying them. Who wants to dress like they are off to stand on a street corner. they are the red lingerie of the fashion world - bought by men for their girlfriends to wear.

Not something I could get worked up about, the gymshark ones look OK imo.

mynameiscalypso · 25/10/2023 20:54

They look v uncomfortable

Spidersfreakmeout · 25/10/2023 20:53

Was blissfully unaware of these, so googled it, absolutely horrendous (and hilarious)!

RandomNutter · 25/10/2023 20:41

People can wear what they want, yada yada. It's the parents of the young girls/teens wearing them that I judge.
