How about these ‘classy’ leggings! Perfect for the school run! 😂

I can't ever imagine finding myself in that pose.

There was woman today walking in front of me wearing some scrunch bum leggings and I feel quite dirty saying I watched her bum the whole time. Not in a creepy way, I'm a married straight woman. I suppose it was in wonderment.

There may as well have been a neon "and here's my bum in case you didn't notice" sign.

I saw these in the flesh so to speak for the first time today. I spotted a pair in a department store on a quite large lady with quite a big bum (she really did not need extra padding). The padded part didn't cover her bum cheeks so the effect was like she had double buttocks. It didn't look right at all. If she lay down on her stomach, it would look like each of her buttocks was wearing a docker cap type hat. Not flattering and a bit odd looking.

I think they can look great- loads of women wear them in the gym and have gym bums so they are quite flattering imo. Even if they aren’t, who care what other people wear.
This thread is very Mumsnet. Only on here would something like leggings be seen as a ‘class divide’ 🤣

Edited

They’re more of a cheek divide.

I saw my first scrunch bum leggings in town yesterday. Pale grey with what looked like a black fabric butt hole nestled between the wearer's buttocks. I couldn't help staring and neither could most of the rest of the people around me. Is the faux bum hole an intentional design feature?

VintageTuppence · 29/10/2023 03:32

Well googling that was an education!

I’m not sure which are worse. The ones with extra padding (wtf?) or the ones with the gathered seam down the middle.

I've not seen that type with a different colour butt bit. Will google

Sorry, but this tickled me 😂

Hold on - these are definitely going up inside the crack?

Surely this is sore!? It looks like an intentional wedgie?????

Make it stop

Faircastle · 02/11/2023 15:07

I finally spotted a pair in the wild yesterday, the first I have seen. They actually looked OK, but to be fair they were black, opaque and on a woman in her early 20s working in sports education.

PotOfViolas · 02/11/2023 16:45

I wouldn't want a seam pressed against my anus all day

Busephalus · 02/11/2023 17:20

That's why I hate things too

I feel sore just looking at this pic. Surely these things are really really uncomfortable and cause chaffing in unspeakable areas? Also thrush. I'll bet young women are getting all types of surgeries and labiaplasty so as to look 'normal' like a barbie doll in these garments.

These are deliberately designed to draw attention to one's arse hole, surely? Confused

That's exactly what they are designed to do.

Have you ever come across a cleverage quiz, where they crop the picture and you've to decide if they bum or boobs?

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 03/11/2023 17:40

Ha! Yep seen those Grin

Shutthedoormargaret · 03/11/2023 17:46

It's skin coloured ones that get me. And those skin coloured unitards. Double take is an understatement. Personally I wouldn't, and I think they are somewhat attention seeking. But, I used to wear much more revealing things than I do now, and if I was 18 I'd probably have my pert bottom and scrunchy arse crack on parade too (so I could cringe about it years later, or admire my bottom...)

SundayMuddySunday · 17/02/2024 06:18

So I bought a pair hoping they would look good and the scrunch seam doesn’t even go close to being up my bum. If anything out looks like I’m either wearing a nappy or have one huge buttock instead of two smaller ones. They’re my usual size 6. Am I supposed to go to a size?

malificent7 · 17/02/2024 06:33

Bums are in. The bigger the better. I have been trying to explain to dd that unless you are a certain body type, no amount of exercisebis going to result in one of those overly massive arses.
Thankfully she dosnt wear these leggins!

Sunday, you are BVU to post here so it’s now on our feeds again, reminding us all of scrunch bums so early in the morning. 😂

SilverBranchGoldenPears · 17/02/2024 08:15

Wtf

Why why why?
@SundayMuddySunday put those in the bin and stop yourself next time. No one wants to be reminded 🤢 😂

StinkyWizzleteets · 17/02/2024 08:21

I just want to know if those who wear them without underwear (everyone according to my teen) don’t have the discharge that stains the fabric their cooch comes into contact with.

kcchiefette · 17/02/2024 08:51

The same girls wear these that also whine and complain that people are "leering" at them or looking at them.

Whatever happened to wearing normal leggings and a baggy top?!

Probably not.

Misconception but minor staining is healthy because the vagina is naturally alkaline.

If they are going underwearless in sweaty gym gear, I doubt their vaginas are that healthy.

Brumbies · 17/02/2024 09:17

All leggings are gross, especially flesh coloured ones. Ugh
