Women in gym changing room

Gym etiquette is to lay a towel down before you sit down anywhere with your naked bottom.

She shouldn’t have moved your stuff

but the rest of it YABU

You can't expect everyone to have the same hygiene standards unfortunately. I always sit on a towel just to make sure that I'm not sitting where someone else's naked arse has been. I don't use this towel for anything else and it goes straight in the wash once I get home. I also have a floor towel to put my feet on too.

Isn't this a resurrected very old OP ?????
Word for Word 🤔

If you’re putting your towel down to sit on the bench, or you have your clothes on, what does it matter?

I am that fat heifer using the communal changing space. So thanks for that.

Not excusing people sticking their naked bit in your face, but if I am changing for the gym I will have to sit down at some point as I have arthritis in my knees.
I prefer to change at home, but maybe they cannot

When I exercise I wear leggings. I get all sweaty, my coochie is completely wet either from sweat or other things happening and leaking during exercise and I immagine most of any of my secretions go through my underwear and me leggings when I exercise. I try to be considerate and wipe after me but mostly no one wipes after themselves from what I've seen. My point is when you exercise you are gross, we all are (unless you go there for instagram poses then leave) I treat everything like a bacterial ground in the gym, made peace with it but when i come home i sanitise phone, headphones and put all fabrics in the wash. It is what it is, I don't think a woman's arse has more bacteria then what was already left on that bench by thousand of other users. If you don't want your belongings touching surfaces shove them in plastic bag and hang it or put it in the locker. You can't expect a gym to be sanitised for you. And no need to mention size of arse, that was nasty.

I’m not embarrased by my own body or the bodies of others but some people just seem to love wandering around baked, sonetines us seems performative! I was at the gym recently and this woman was stood in front of the mirrors with her leg up on the seat at the dressing mirrors. Completely naked rubbing in cream. I mean if you want to moisturise cool but maybe with knickers on or maybe not with the leg up revealing everything!!

If a gym is going to provide padded seating, then shouod have a cleaning regime that makes sure they stay hygienic …

Why would someone sit down to put on their kit, presuming this is someone who needed to change knickers before exercise (WHY??) but you don't sit down to put on underwear, or if they were putting on padded shorts (spinning?, no knix with those sometimes) then why not put the shorts on right away, how would you put them on while sitting down. Or if they needed to don swimsuit: you can't put that on your bottom while sitting, either.

Did this lady want everyone to know that she goes commando to yoga class, maybe?

Having a "Does not compute moment"

I hate the flossers more, never in my life have I flossed myself the the towel and I’m convinced some people just do it to wind others up

@MyThreeWords I don’t think it’s a ‘low opinion of someone’s personal hygiene’ to know that women’s genitals tend to secrete discharge and that we generally can’t predict or control it. 🥴 It’s not unhygienic to have vaginal discharge but it’s not polite to leave it on surfaces others might need to touch.

I just assume that the benches in the changing rooms have had naked arses on them. Many arses. I don’t put my things on the benches. I keep everything in the locker.

I have seen someone do this in the gym too. I think it’s revolting- just sit on a towel FFS. 🤢 (Or put pants on and then sit down to finish getting dressed). I don’t mind communal changing rooms and I’m not offended by naked women’s bodies. Nor do I care if other women see me naked, but I do try to get dressed fairly quickly and would certainly avoid bending over. No one needs to see that 😂

I agree with you. Expensive health clubs seems to bring out weird entitled types. Last week I was drying ny hair at the mirror at one and a woman stood directly behind me, stripped off completely naked and started slapping, and I mean really slapping, body cream on her massive, rock like fake boob's whilst standing directly behind me, using the same mirror. Because I am short it meant that I was looking at a huge pair of tits resting directly on top of my head in the mirror being pummmelled and knocking together like a cats cradle, reverberating off each other because they she had very solid implants. I had to leave because I couldn't stop laughing, I mean I literally burst out laughing because it looked so funny.

She gave me dirty looks as I gathered up my stuff, still laughing uncontrollably. But I mean, honestly, who would do that? She could have moved a few feet to the left and used the empty mirror next to me but then she would have lost her hog space on the bench with all her kit on. Not as gross as yours but very funny. Ive not seen anyone sit down naked without a towel at mine in fairness but sure some do (gross).

Have you never sat down in your gym's sauna or steam room and felt the rather horrific sliminess of the previous person's sweat? That is pretty unavoidable and about 17 million times worse than sitting down where a dry bottom has been.

And surely all seating in a changing room is for sitting on while getting changed? You seem to be presenting this seating as being for something else - because it is padded?

And as for sitting down naked, I don't get the problem. My bottom is certainly way cleaner than the bottom of all the bags you say are being placed on the seating. Is it specifically the idea of vaginal dampness that concerns you? The genital area doesn't make actual contact with the seat and in any case you would have to have a pretty low opinion of someone's personal hygiene to imagine that they would allow anything untoward to leak out.

Those benches have all sorts of gross things on them. A bare arse is nothing

They're forever putting signs up asking people not to shave in my gym 😬

People eat food in there too

I don't think you're unreasonable about her sitting naked on the bench. It is gross

Yes, think yourself lucky she didn't get a prayer mat out whilst you were half naked, causing you great offense for no discernible reason

Yes she was in the wrong but so are you for mentioning she had a big arse - charming.

Seen similar at my gym. Disgusting. Also, someone clipping their fingernails all over the floor yesterday. People are grim.

Could have been worse - she could have started praying 😆

Actually just realised how appropriate my NN is for this thread 🤣🤣

I've seen this thread so often I'm beginning to think it's the same large, naked woman touring the country.
