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.

I think they can look great- loads of women wear them in the gym and have gym bums so they are quite flattering imo. Even if they aren’t, who care what other people wear.
This thread is very Mumsnet. Only on here would something like leggings be seen as a ‘class divide’ 🤣

Edited

Clothing is often quite class indicative though. There’s nothing new about that and it’s not an especially MN idea.

I’ve got a big enough arse as it is thanks very much.

Women are free to wear what they want and other people are free to think it looks shit.

HazardLights · 27/10/2023 05:37

I wonder if the padding gets all twisted around sometimes, like when you’ve got a bra with separate sewed in pads, and they get all turned inside out in the wash. That would be a good look.

EtiennePalmiere · 27/10/2023 01:49

I've seen them but didn't know sometimes they're padded? Hahaha

bronkie · 27/10/2023 01:34

Unfortunately for most people the effect is not that flattering.

I've seen some absolute peaches in these leggings! Fair play to those who can carry it off. It wouldn't be me.

Catsmere · 27/10/2023 00:06

Had to look them up. I’m very glad to say I’ve never seen them before. You might as well paint them red and wear a sign saying “Baboon in estrus”.

It isn’t true that those industries are dominated by women- where are you getting your data from?

Show quote history

I totally agree. A quick google of the 100 wealthiest entities in the world will quickly reveal the men and their companies who dictate our reality - see who are their CEOs and their major shareholders.

LVMH right up there in terms of leading the world of fashion.

Serious question: who the fuck is ‘the patriarchy’? Who is it that’s forcing us to objectify ourselves and dress a certain way?

As I point out upthread, most fashion designers, clothes makers, make-up artists, beauty entrepreneurs, aesthetic doctors, beauty & fashion marketing executives, fashion magazine editors are women.

It’s women who are enabling women to objectify themselves. Why? Because most women derive joy and satisfaction from fashion and beauty, and experimenting with their looks.

(But I guess ALL the women who dominate these industries must be suffering from ‘internalised misogyny’, right? 😂)

See, this is what all leggings look like to me, when worn without a long top. They all show too much. This is brightly coloured, but turn it dark blue or black and it's just a darker coloured version of exactly the same contours. I truly don't understand how leggings can be so popular when this is what the fuckers look like. I hate them.

Scrunch bum ones are egregiously ugly because they just take it up to 100, but even ordinary ones have always looked like shit to me. Like you put on tights then forgot to get dressed.

In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking
But now, God knows
Anything goes

I’m not prudish at all and I find them vulgar. I am quite frankly sick of seeing arse crevices and labias.

Jbrown76 · 26/10/2023 19:28

There's a 40 year old slim mum of 4 at my child's school who wears the waffle tik tok leggings...I don't need to see your snatch or your bum cheeks, but it away love!

Hideous. Just hideous.

Of course not, they're fucking hideous.

They're not the end of the world, though.

Show quote history

Well yes, obviously. It would be a bit weird if anybody suggested they were. It does give us more options for describing that stuff though. It’s in the padded arsecrack of nowhere. The sweaty padded arsecrack of the world.

Somehow the fact that they’re padded to simulate deeper arse crack definition, does not make them less vulgar 😂

I was just going to add to my previous post a few back that it is def a class divide and also where I live altho a v wealthy area it’s possible the young(ish) women are legit sex workers who live here or coming to the area deliberately on the prowl at least. My area used to be a red light district now gentrified but we also get high traffic tourists as well as general show offs who are maybe hoping a model agency or porn producer is gonna approach them, who knows.

I only have one word: thrush !!

I live in a "naice" area lol surrounded by ancient woodlands. The WI, the church and neighbourhood watch are outraged that this woodland is being used for dogging lol 😄

Perhaps this clobber is good for that...🥴

Diamondcurtains · 26/10/2023 17:30

Agree they’re disgusting. I can’t get with the trend of great big fake arses either. 🤷

SurprisedWithAHorse · 26/10/2023 17:25

Boomboom22 · 26/10/2023 17:13

So they don't even show off your real bum? Like fake nails and eyelashes then. 🙄

They don't even look natural most of the time! The idea is to give the appearance of a round, big but pert arse, that itself being pretty unusual. And in my view they pretty much always look fake.

Honestly, give yourself a wedgie and check out how it looks. Walk around for a bit in it. It's probably not the most beautiful sight in the world (definitely not on me) but it looks nothing like these bloody hideous things. That's just not what wedgies look and move like.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 26/10/2023 17:20

IMO they’re lovely - if you happen to be an exhibitionist.
