I really am an old prude...
Today naked from the waist down woman was chatting to her friend who stood for the whole time it took to dry me and dd totally starkers while drying and then straightening her hair. I failed to point out yesterday that the hair dryer bit is opposite the door to the changing room so anyone walking past gets a good flash too Confused

deaconblue · 19/10/2010 12:15

I'm a prude too - recent sights at our local gym have included a lady inserting a tampon in the communal area and my favorite the 80 year old who insits on full nudity for hair drying and make up application.

In my gym we have the lady who spends ten minutes slathering body lotion over her naked form as if she is in a low rate porn movie, Im sure one day she is going to orgasm.

TastesLikePanda · 19/10/2010 12:41

bojangles - should have lectured tampon lady on the delights of the moon-cup. Bet she wouldn't do it again!

YANBU. At my old gym there was a woman who would put on her knickers, tights, shoes, skirt and jewellery but then do her hair and make-up topless. Every day.

I suppose there is some logic there as she doesn't ruin her top with make-up/hairspray, but really she could put on a bra ffs.

HoneyIatethekidsdragon · 19/10/2010 12:52

Humph

I had it the other way, when I was putting my bra on in the swimming baths a woman saw my scars on my left breast and went

"Oh my God, what was wrong with you?!"

I did not know this woman at all.

What is it with communal changing rooms?

spookyhalloweenFluffypomkins · 19/10/2010 13:01

Yanbu.

You should of said
"cuse me,can you put your fanjo away"

Its not prudish at all,just well a bit weirdConfused.

inkyfingers · 19/10/2010 13:13

I hate all that wriggling with towels and covering up everything in front of - other women. And why not put your makeup on first? (Except it will just end up all over your clothes when you get dressed.) So was not with OP at all, until I read about woman putting in tampax!!!, then I went all prudish.

dementedma · 19/10/2010 13:29

The tampon one had my jaw hitting the floor!
REALLY?????

SummerRain · 19/10/2010 13:41

We have a very overweight woman who does the body lotion thing as well, i almost wished the dcs had been with me today as their staring and asking me 'what's that lady doing?' would have been appreciated for once if it had made her stop

proudnscary · 19/10/2010 13:48

Are we going to get Bushlady updates every day?

Tomorrow: Plaits her pubes into a French braid while standing at the window and waving at any under fives passing by

Thursday: Walks into swimming pool car park naked from the waist down (obviously. Does this woman actually own any bottoms?) and shave lady garden into the shape of a dolphin

...

BaronessBomburst · 19/10/2010 13:49

LOL! Changing rooms here are unisex. (Holland) A few fit, tanned, bronzed 20-something men and you soon get to appreciate the benefits. Grin

wholelotofarse · 19/10/2010 13:52

I think shouting 'Oi! Love, put your vajayjay away! Oh and here's the number of a great beautician who also does waxing, you seem to have missed a bit' across the changing room would have been superb Grin I am subtle like that Wink

Shodan · 19/10/2010 14:08

I'm working very hard at not being so prudish any more- I can, for instance, not wince/blush/carefully examine the ceiling whilst my fellow gym ladies are walking around starkers in the changing rooms. I can even keep my cool while they apply lavish quantities of body lotion.

However. I was sitting on the bench recently, drying my feet, as you do, when a starkers woman decided to bend over to reach into her bottom-row locker. Right in front of me. Honest to God her bits and pieces were about a foot away from my face.

That was a leetle too much for my comfort.

2rebecca · 19/10/2010 14:09

I prefer to dry my hair before putting my clothes on, saves getting hairs on my clothes as I moult terribly.
Usually put bra and knickers on though (if I've decided to wear them that day!)

Having to insert a tampon in front of others sounds more like one of my nightmares though. I don't get women who go 2 to a cubicle and wee in front of each other either.

Brushing hair in nude/ underwear in single sex changing room = fine, bodily fuctions and inserting things in any orifice except mouth in front of others = yuk.

Floopy21 · 19/10/2010 14:34

They're only bodies , we all have one! It's good that she's comfy in her own skin IMO.

BLEUGHHH to the tampon though!

BITCH to the scar commentator too.

Second thoughts, don't answer that.

Serendippy · 19/10/2010 14:37

But Floopy, one step further and you have 'it is only periods, we all have them, it's good that she is comfy with her womanliness'. Urgh.

HoneyIatethekidsdragon · 19/10/2010 14:59

Thanks Floopy - Grin

BTW - It was only from a bilateral breast reduction and to obtain various tissues for testing (I was interestingly weird not - thank god - life threateningly weird) but from the scarring it was obvious that my nipple had been reloctated. But from the interested party you would think it had been moved on my forehead!

Still shuddering about the tampon ick ick ick

cumbria81 · 19/10/2010 15:31

YABU

So she had her tits out in a female changing room?

So what?

blowbroth · 19/10/2010 15:36

Had to laugh at 'inserting a tampon in the communal area'! Not heard it called that before!Grin

proudnscary · 19/10/2010 15:37

Cumbria, pay attention. Her tits are always covered. Her vagina is on display. God I feel like I know this woman by now.

GertrudetheDog · 19/10/2010 15:52

I think knickers are vastly underrated.
