I'm currently online shopping and there's two pairs of a lovely print leggings for sale for just a quid!!
But they're second hand/used.
Would it be a bit Envy to buy them?

@ElderMillennial it’s not a thing is it? That’s gross! That’s like not wearing pants under tights!!

I think it's fine. But most of Mumsnet would live in sterilised hermetically sealed pods pointing at the passers by yelling "fiiiilltthhh" given the choice so swings and roundabouts Wink

No chance!!

@ElderMillennial

I didn't realise not wearing knickers under leggings was a thing!
neither did I. On my gym leggings, the placement of the seam would make going commando a very unpleasant experience

But it's a total no no to wear knickers under cycling shorts/tights.

@EmmaGrundyForPM see now all my gym legs have a inner crotch triangle bit so I feel like they're designed that way?! Grin

@Mylovelyhorsee I didn't think so 'til I read this thread!

@EmmaGrundyForPM It doesn't sound comfortable!

It is also gross, the idea of people knickerless sweating through their leggings onto gym equipment

@Skyliner001 Oh bless you Nene, I'm sorry you don't have a washing machine 😊

Analysis: passive aggression aimed at baiting Nene into hopefully feeling embarrassed in case ‘everyone’ thinks they don’t own a washing machine because Nene is (insert spew emoji) at wearing secondhand underwear.

Result: Nene can pretend to Sky she walks round in fig leaves found on landfill in Pripyat if it makes Sky feels big Grin

@justwaydamin. I'm obviously buying cheap leggings Grin

I don’t know why, but I’ve never liked the idea of secondhand fabric (also wash anything brand new before wearing). But for some reason especially not leggings. They never wash well, so will probably be bobbly unless they’re BMWT or listed as excellent condition.

chances are they are being sold because they were barely worn.

I get rid of clothes that I don't wear, not my daily favourites! It will be fine!
