Girl at gym has hole in leggings...

Would you tell her?

I'm outside the class next to the window and she's at the back of the class.

The hole is right in the middle of her bum on the seam, it's only visible during certain exercises but now I've noticed it keeps catching my eye 🙈

Would you rather know or be blissfully unaware and hope she notices when she next washes them?

No I wouldn’t

WunWun · 20/03/2023 18:51

Yes of course.

I suggest people think before posting similar stories.

Phoebo · 20/03/2023 18:52

I would. My bag had hitched my skirt right up and I had been walking for about 15 minutes before someone had told me. I couldn't believe I had passed hundreds of people and no one had bothered to let me know

Interested in this thread?

How would you go about telling her? The palava of doing so seems more than it's actually worth or importance.

StopFeckingFaffing · 20/03/2023 18:53

I can't see how you can tell her discreetly in the middle of a class without causing her significant embarrassment

Does she had underwear on under the leggings?

IncessantNameChanger · 20/03/2023 18:53

I would, just a tap on the arm and I think your leggings might have a tiny hole. No fuss, no eye contact. People do it to me, I'm more mortified when they don't. Like when I was 7 months pregnant and at a meeting in Westminster.

Are you always so paranoid. A simple yes or no would do, I'm not looking for wank material for the last 15 mins of dd's swimming lesson 😂

I would discreetly tell her. I once saw a woman with toilet roll hanging out of the back of her leggings at the gym and told her poor thing.

dementedpixie · 20/03/2023 18:58

I would tell her discreetly. I'm sure she'd rather know

chorusline79 · 20/03/2023 18:59

I would like to know!

This has happened to me so I speak from experience. My leggings were gaping and my entire bum was showing - I can't believe I didn't realise but was merrily going for it on the cross trainer when 2 girls took pity on me and came and told me. I was very grateful (and mortified) when I looked in the mirror as there was no missing it!

NeverApologiseNeverExplain · 20/03/2023 19:01

Nope. You’d have to go into the class, no way can you just tap on the glass and gesticulate. Either approach is going to draw far too much attention to her. It’s only a hole at the seam. If she has underwear on it’s no big deal. If it is visible to others in the class then they will either tell her or not tell her and forget all about it the minute they leave.

It’s completely impossible to tell her discreetly. OP is outside the class on the other side of a window.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 20/03/2023 19:17

She might have created there herself, as a sort of 'vent'.

You never know...

Right, could it be any more obvious what this thread is fishing for.

Xrays · 20/03/2023 20:20

Nope I wouldn’t tell her, unless she literally had her bum crack hanging out or the hole was in the crotch and she didn’t have pants on.

I've literally never felt more innocent and pure of mind, because I've got no idea Confused

iaapap · 20/03/2023 20:21

No. Sometimes it’s hard to find leggings that fit. I’d personally wear them with a hole and not care.

GingerBoot · 20/03/2023 20:24

@QueSyrahSyrah you're not the only one. I must be leading a very sheltered life

ArcticBells · 20/03/2023 20:49

No, I'd mind my own business

MoggyMittens23 · 20/03/2023 20:53

I would, but so that she doesn't feel too embarrassed I would start with, "this happened to me and no one bloody told me and I don't want it happening to someone else" (so that she thinks it's not just her)

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 20/03/2023 21:16

I read on a similar thread on here that you should only tell people if it's something they can fix immediately. So loo roll on the shoe, yes. Skirt caught in knickers, yes. Leggings ventilation hole, probably not.

LolaSmiles · 20/03/2023 21:18

WunWun
I thought the same.

Me too! This is right over my head! 😂

In porn, the plumber that comes in to service the boiler and ends up servicing the bored housewife has been swapped out for women in gym gear splitting their seams and getting shagged by their PT.

@MeinKraft Well, you learn something new every day.
