To expect people to remove make up before swimming

[mummyrabbitpeppapig]

Everytime I take DD swimming there are at least 3 different women ending up with panda eyes because they got in the pool with a full face of make up- just take it off please

Yanbu

Are you pandaphobic

Yanbu but I have ended up with panda eyes even after taking mine off. Chlorinated water seems to be much more effective at stripping the lot than eye make up remover!

Yanbu. Just use makeup wipes or don’t apply makeup that day

Does it affect you? The water's chlorinated so it's clean. And if you don't trust the capacity of chlorine to keep the water clean then makeup is the least of your worries.

Does it affect you? The water's chlorinated so it's clean.

yes it does effect me.
chlorine kills bacteria. that's it.
it doesn't filter the water of the oily film from the make up and it doesn't remove colour pigment and hair and other particles.

not showering with soap before getting into the pool is rank.

YABU for inventing another stick to bash women with.

Well you're not being unreasonable, but makeup is just the thing that you can see. People also have sun cream, body lotion, face products, hair products, deodorant, perfume, sweat, smelly feet and bum residue all washing around in the pool water.

Another stick to bash women with??!!
Really?

@DryHeave YABU to assume only women can wear makeup

Oh wait that’s as ridiculous as what you just said

There are more bothersome things than mascara deposited into most public swimming pools (not envy).

Well, people could always take a shower before swimming.........

There is a lot worse than mascara in that top layer in the pool..

I wouldn't take my makeup off before swimming.

I do go through the shower but I don't take my makeup off with water.

You lot scoffing are mingers

Two wrongs don’t make a right

(Shakes head)

God life is just too short to worry about stuff like this.

Bum residue 😐

I get pissed off with makeup on clothes that I’m trying on. FFS.
I got a pair of chinos home last week & there was foundation on them. Wtf?

I'm more worried about the people having a wee in the pool tbh

“ @Serena1985

Bum residue 😐 “

Lol

But also willy and foofoo discharge 🤢

Umm, in the grand scheme of gross things in a public pool...mascara? Really??

If I took make-up off I think there'd be more product/oil than there would've been make-up in the pool

Oh fgs I’ve never even given a second thought to what is in a swimming pool and now I can never go in one again because bum residue 🤢

Put goggles on and swim along the floor of the pool, you’ll see plasters, pieces of shit, hair, pubes, then watch people surfacing and gobbing out water and spit, ear wax, piss, genital secretions, period blood, incontinent babies, germs and viruses, warts and veruccas all floating about in a rancid cocktail at the perfect temperature for bacteria to thrive, so a load of bleach is thrown in too. I wouldn’t go in a pool for cash.

(The people gobbing out phlegm are presumably not hacking out incontinent babies etc as well. Just to clarify.)
