To think scrunch bum leggings look fucking shit

[shockwaze]

Even the name is horrendous

i dunno , if you like the prolapse sphincter look

My husband has bought me about 8 pairs of these! I wear them to go cleaning (I'm a cleaner obvs) but wear a longish tee shirt with it

Ps I'm 41 so should know better, but my husband says they make my arse look great

I was thinking this only yesterday.

Waiting in the playground to collect my 2 from school, and happened to glance over at the mums waiting for the class next door. One mum was wearing a gray pair of these, then crouched down for a moment to fiddle with something in the basket of her buggy.
It was literally THE most unflattering angle I'd ever seen on anyone, ever. I felt like I could see right up her colon.

What’s BVU?

Being very unfair/unreasonable as in YABU (Mumsnet speak). I was only joking of course.

This thread had one of my favourite Mumsnet posts about someone taking their elderly dad to Sainsburys and a woman wearing scrunch bum leggings bending over in front of him and him saying "Great Scott!" or similar.

Depends on setting. I don't think they look good in Tescos but like at a dance class that's quite sexualised etc or something then sure I think they are fine.

Saw a 14 year old wearing a pair in the hairdressers. (Before anyone asks she told the hairdresser she was 14 so that’s how I know her age.) I have to say it was all I could do to keep my jaw from dropping at the view from the back. World gone mad.

Actually I think I'd wear them as shape wear to get a nice smooth line under my trousers/jeans. 🌹

And also, thrush.

There's no way they should give you thrush if you're wearing clean underwear underneath them that isn't a thong or G string.

I’ve heard from two people (one on real life and one on here) that some don’t wear knickers…

Well that's a separate issue. If you wore leggings or tight trousers with no underwear you'd have the same problem.

The only inherent problem with these things is that they're absolutely fugly and ridiculous trends have been aimed at young women since ridiculous trends began. They're just ugly clothes that are already on the way out now; loose joggers seem to be coming in. Perspective.

Oh God, if I wore underwear, then scrunch bum leggings then jeans over the top it would be the perfect recipe for thrush. It’s not about hygiene, it’s about the multiple sweaty close fitting layers.

I bought some leggings online, when they arrived I realised I’d ordered some bum scrunch leggings, gym day came round couldn’t find my regular leggings in the laundry basket so put the bum scrunch leggings on, oh my word, they are so comfy!! Material is nice and thick, so doesn’t thin out when you’re doing your Bulgarian spilt squats. I wear them to the gym and yoga and don’t care what others think as they are the most comfortable gym wear I have had in ages!

It may be normal for women to want positive attention, but the lengths required to achieve that attention are growing more and more extreme.
I agree with previous posters that this is likely a side-effect of explicit content becoming increasingly normalised.

That was my thinking also. On the rare occasions I wore shapewear now I always had fine cotton blend pants on too... 🌹

Nice to see this thread revived.

I haven't changed my opinion one bit!

Weirdly I was thinking about this very thread today and how I might be missing a trick not having a pair of these.... then came to senses!

Trashy/chavtastic

The sort of women who wear these are usually with a man in a grey adidas tracksuit pushing a buggy and smoking a vape...

My husband kept buying me these last year,...yes ge wears jogging bottoms and vapes! I don't wear them anymore since my daughter said they make my arse a feature, she said "this is literally you.." then pulled her pyjama bottoms down exposing her behind. Not the look I want

funny story about G strings. There was a fashion for younger girls to wear them high up on waist with low cut trousers/jeans so that you could see the top of their G string when they sat down. In a café with my mother - she asked me if sanitary belts had come back into fashion - indicating a young girl's G string. I nearly spat my coffee out laughing. 😂

There are blokes in the gym wearing them too. When they bend over there is literally nothing left to the imagination and yes....I am pearl clutching.

People are entitled to wear what they want, within the laws of decency.

And I'm entitled to judge them! Yes, scrunch-bum leggings are vile and, since they're a very, very conscious choice by the wearer, they certainly carry a message to onlookers...and it's a bit of a nauseating one, in my opinion.

Happy to be thought a prude - in fact, I'm Proud to be a Prude.
