AIBU to think that putting your bra on first is a bit odd?

In the gym, not that I'm looking or anything, but there are women putting their bras on before their knickers.

That's not right is it? Nix on first,yes?

I just hate my bottom being exposed in a gym. At home whatever is closest but then nobody cares here!

BionicEmu · 11/01/2013 21:57

Socks before knickers, surely though? A long time ago I heard (I have no idea where/from who) that you should always put socks on before knickers in case you have some kind of fungal infection on your feet. If you put knickers on with bare feet then you run the risk of touching your knickers with your bare feet and so transferring the fungus to your nether-regions.

How can this be a thread?

WhatchuTalkinBoutPhyllis · 11/01/2013 22:00

May I?

EauRouge · 11/01/2013 22:01

I'm not sure how this can be a thread. Grin

But I'm inclined to agree- definitely knickers first.

BarredfromhavingStella · 11/01/2013 22:01

Knix 1st always.

Meglet · 11/01/2013 22:02

Pants, bra, top, jeans, sock, sock, shoe, shoe.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 11/01/2013 22:02

You are insane. Socks should be second last.

Pants
Bra
Trousers/skirt
Top
Socks if applicable
Shoes

What kind of freak puts on socks early in the proceedings?

WhatchuTalkinBoutPhyllis · 11/01/2013 22:03

Top then jeans!?

Oh goodness no.

coffeeinbed · 11/01/2013 22:03

That would be me.
Socks on first, always.

DearPrudence · 11/01/2013 22:04

BionicEmu I am Shock Grin Grin at the idea of catching a fungal infection in your vagine from your feet.

NomNomDePlumPudding · 11/01/2013 22:05

noooo to feet fungus on the fanjo, that must be an urban myth....

knickers, bra, tshirt, socks, jeans, obviously.

hammyimo · 11/01/2013 22:08

Pants
Bra
Top
Trousers
Socks - both of them
Shoes

What would you look like in socks, pants and bra?

Can I throw in the woman at our gym who dries her hair before putting any item of clothing on? Sitting on the high faux leather stool with her bare bum.

NoelHeadbands · 11/01/2013 22:08

Omg I've had a fungal toenail infection for years and never until this moment considered the threat to my vaginal health!

BartletForTeamGB · 11/01/2013 22:09

Knickers
Bra
Jeans
Top
Socks
Shoes

Amazed that there are people out there who do otherwise?! Shock Grin

bionic, that has made me laugh! No, I think you are safe enough!

bumperella · 11/01/2013 22:10

Bra first. Definitely.

Naoko · 11/01/2013 22:11

knickers
bra
jeans
top
cardigan (if wearing second layer due to cold weather)
socks
shoes

Unless wearing skirt instead of jeans, then knickers/bra/tights/skirt/top/shoes.

Socks before jeans/top is weird. The aim is to get less cold as quickly as possible, and jeans/top provide more coverage and thus warmth than socks.

Zappo · 11/01/2013 22:11

Why are you taking your bra and knickers off when going to the gym anyway. Don't you just get hot and sweaty and then have a shower when you get home.

If you do shower, you should have towel wrapped around you, then slip it down a bit to put bra on, then while towel is round your waist put on your knickers surely.

WhatchuTalkinBoutPhyllis · 11/01/2013 22:13

Definitely up there with my auntie telling me not to touch bums or let any one touch mine as I could get pregnant Grin

blonderthanred · 11/01/2013 22:14

Tops but no bottoms is ruder than nothing at all.

carabos · 11/01/2013 22:15

Knickers first because I don't always wear a bra Shock.

KoalaTale · 11/01/2013 22:15

Yabu, I do bra first then knickers. It's because I feel uncomfortable without a bra so want it on first, I do the same at home. I keep the towel round my waist though so koalas lady garden does not get exposed.

Needathickerskin · 11/01/2013 22:17

I do bra first!

But, I wrap my towel around my waist and dress my top half.

Knicks on, towel off.

Trousers.

Sock, shoe, sock, shoe.

Hair.

Why so weird??
