Gym changing rooms. Woman sat butt naked on vinyl type benches while she rubbed body lotion in for about 10 mins. Bare arse and foof all over furniture which others are using. Put some knickers on ffs, I don't care if you're naked but please don't rub your lady bits all over the furniture 🤮

When you think of what gyms are used for and all the people who come in to use them for that purpose, it’s probably best just to let somebody fresh out of the shower but without underwear sitting on a bench slide tbh. It’s probably more hygienic than somebody in sweat-soaked leggings straight from their workout sitting there.

Best just let someone without underwear sitting on a bench slide???😂😂😂 Deliberate joke or Freudian slip (sic!)

I always used to think that when watching ‘Naked Attraction’. They used to interview the rejected contestants in the changing room, stark naked and sitting on the benches. Unnecessary!

I’m in my 50’s too and over the years I have noticed there is a certain ‘The Joy of Sex’ type who enjoys a performative prolonged bush/arse crack drying session, usually with one foot up on the bench. It’s definitely a thing.

In my gym its the younger fitter ones who walk about with hardly anything on! The older mum bods cover up.

@SabreIsMyFave she was 70+

@ilovesooty I'm hardly going to approach her and say please take your fanny off the bench.

You could ask the gym to put up a ‘no bare fannies on the benches please’ sign 😂

Minge Crime
Gym benches have seen so much bodily oozing action.

This is what I found so awful about going to the gym. It actually made me feel sick.

I always remember when I was a teenager a lady using the hairdryer to dry her bits in the gym changing rooms 😭 scarred me for life!

Oh my god! 😂😂😂 I was not ready for that!

You're not wrong.

ilovesooty · 09/01/2025 14:01

I take it you didn't speak to her, or approach the staff to raise a concern about hygiene?

ByQuaintAzureWasp · 09/01/2025 14:01

She should sit on her towel atvthe very least

I don't know if you can tell but I've got my cats bum face going on.

😂 I think I had my cat's bum face on while I was trying to avoid looking at her but she was oblivious!

Exactly. No towel down either.

(BTW I don't sit on there in sweaty leggings either).

Show quote history

Neither would I! Oh boak, I cannot imagine the thought of anyone having to sit where my bits had just been or as you say, sweaty leggings - I’ve stressed myself out now! 😂

Unrelated38 · 09/01/2025 14:00

Grim for her, people put their dirty trainers on there to tie laces. Or verrucad, athletes footed manky feet. Backpacks that have been on bus floors. Last place I'd want my freshly washed (or otherwise) foof.

Eh? What do they use a gym for - I thought exercise?

Id far rather be in contact with someone’s sweat than their vaginal discharge. Sweat can’t transmit diseases.

There was a woman like this at my gym - she'd always spend ages naked, rubbing lotions into her skin. Then one day my friend was in the sauna and this woman came in starkers, lay down on the same bench and drew her legs up like a roast chicken. You can imagine the view my friend got!

I would have had to shout "YOU'RE NOT HERE FOR YOUR SMEAR TEST, SHEILA!!"

Chuchoter · 09/01/2025 13:58

'Get your stench off the bench!' has a nice ring to it.

Cattery · 09/01/2025 13:57

I’ve never understood the need to be butt naked in gym changing rooms.

festivemouse · 09/01/2025 13:57

Maybe it's the most action she gets 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tbh I'd be hauling that bench out for firewood! Some people are too comfortable in public 😂 rub your minge wherever at home! Not in a changing room 🤮
