Most people in the gym notice what other people are wearing and most people in the gym want to be noticed. And if you don’t think that nearly every bloke checks out nearly every women then you’re being very naive.

This is why there remains a market for women-only gyms.

Normal people in the gym do not care what other people are wearing.

Normal people in the gym are more bothered about their workouts.

Normal people in the gym do not care to be noticed. You know why? Because they’re just there for their workout.

It’s only the Pearl clutches who believe women must cover up like the 1950’s who like to judge other women. Much like the OP and the majority of Pearl clutches on this thread.

Yeah men check out women. In the gym, in the pub, in the supermarket, at the petrol station, on the train. Most public places. Do I like being checked out by men in the gym? No. But I ignore it and just concentrate on my workout.

I know the feeling, went to a theme park with my son in the schools hols and there was just arse and minge on display everywhere, literally in our faces as we queued up to go on rides!
How can you not sneak a peak! 😂

Sorry just couldn’t resist 😂!

Not really. If I walked into my gym, or anywhere in public naked I’d be escorted off the premises.

I think you missed my point, but no worries.

They are indecent. I was in Tesco with my elderly father and a woman with a rather ample bum wearing them bent right over in front of my Dad. He said ‘Good God’ . I thought he was going have a stroke, as in a medical episode not literally. I didn’t know where put my face. Arse cracks need to be covered up!!

😂Brilliant.

duchiebun · 25/10/2023 23:42

There has & will always be shite fashion trends.

The part I cannot understand is why wear them in a light colour when you are going to sweat?! sweaty crack & vag is a nope.

Didn’t miss your point at all.

isthatmyage · 25/10/2023 23:46

Oh god just catching up on mumsnet (rare night out)....flashback to two weeks ago out with DD2 (18) in Chichester sitting having lunch, commented on a girl wearing such leggings saying something old age like 'park your bike' and she's all 'mum, they're cool leggings' in my head 'WTF'....NOW I understand......sigh....🙄

justanotherparrot · 25/10/2023 23:48

Awful. Remind me of a cat's bum every time I see a pair being worn.

thegreylady · 25/10/2023 23:51

Oh dear 😂😂😂

Cat’s bum?

Horse’s arse springs to my mind.

Op be honest secretly you wish you had the bum for them.

What did people really think of thong leotards over leggings and leg warmers. What a look 😍

I did that look!
Striped leotard over black lycra short shorts, white slouch socks rather than legwarmers, even white wristbands and a very high ponytail. Sometimes it was a plain leotard over striped shorts. I trained to teach Exercise to Music, and very much wanted to be like the Course Leader, who dressed in that style.
I thought I was the Bees Knees!

(There was some cotton in the fabric, so much less chance of sweating and chafing - which I think the high lycra content these days can cause rather than prevent.)

I saw a woman wearing a flesh covered pair today - she was wearing granny pants underneath, which rather defeated the object. She was also pushing a toddler who had bare feet (it was cold here today) so I'm afraid I did rather pull a face like a disapproving Lady Button.

🤣
I had to google!
They look like someone who has bent down and then stood up again, and their arse cheeks have taken a mighty bite out of their leggings.

Capz · 26/10/2023 00:04

Big arse, big lips, big eyebrows. Bulk/shred.It is all the rage and I do not get it at all. But then I was raised on the Kate Moss stick thin ideals which were just as ridiculous/damaging.

Blanketpolicy · 25/10/2023 21:07

They would be nightmare with my piles! 🤣

I saw them on a young lady a few weeks ago and actually said wtf out loud before I could stop myself!

Edited

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why is it women's clothes that are sexualised? Again?

Years ago you could get pants and swim-trunks like this that were marketed to gay men, and I wouldn't be surprised if you still can.

I think the common denominator is men like arses.

SequentialAnalyst · 26/10/2023 00:15

For decades, leggings have been doing this unbeknownst to the wearers. I know, because occasionally I have had the misfortune to be walking behind someone wearing them.

I noticed someone with a very defined bum crack the other day - but it's only thanks to this thread that I have come to the horrifying realisation that these days it's actually deliberateShock

I didn’t know where put my face

But you knew where to park your bike.

The leggings are bad but the shorts are worse!

I told DD I was thinking of getting some, because she wouldn’t be seen dead wearing the same thing as her mum <tactical parenting>

Genius

IHateLegDay · 26/10/2023 00:21

There are a fair few girls at my gym that wear them and I just can't get myself to understand the appeal. They're the most unattractive leggings I've ever seen.

Fair enough, I definitely wasn’t expecting a nuanced debate from you 😆
