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!

biscuitnut · 25/10/2023 21:08

That was my first thought as well! Talk about an itchy crack.

Beautful · 25/10/2023 21:08

Leotards and obscene sexualised women and girls clothes are so disgusting.
Gyms are full of those. Meanwhile, guys and boys in comfy weather appropriate clothes.

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>

<snort>

The very ruched ones just make you look like you have a giant arsehole.

Butterkist8 · 25/10/2023 21:11

It's just the same with ordinary leggings worn with a short top.
Unless you are a gym babe and are less than a size 6 your bum will undulate and ripple and show off all your cellulite like a rancid lava lamp.

Sorry ladies... wear what what you will but some of us will snigger . Poor men folk will just stare and wonder.

And yes , I'm a judgemental old trout , but at least no one will ponder my wibbly arse cheeks and think 'fookin' hell.'

No1MumPendant · 25/10/2023 21:12

I’ve never heard of or seen these before. They are truly hideous.

itsmyp4rty · 25/10/2023 21:12

They look so hideous, I just don't get it at all.

Very nice!

biscuitnut · 25/10/2023 21:12

Stop! I just snorted orange squash down my nostrils right onto my phone screen 🤣

steelingmyself · 25/10/2023 21:15

Was there ever a more mumsnet thread than this one?!

HamstersAreMyLife · 25/10/2023 21:15

I really hate both these and the current trend for thin cycling shorts. I mostly see beautiful young things in them which makes this horrendous fashion easier to bear but I would far rather see teens in the brightly coloured leggings and baggy sweatshirts of my own teen years.

ChristmasCrumpet · 25/10/2023 21:16

I bought a cheapy pair off Amazon. (Blows own trumpet...) I have a great arse, thought I could really pull them off.

Put them on. My dear god. DH fell about.

Later that evening, he gets the giggles again. "Where's those cats arse trousers? Go on, put them on again, pucker pucker pucker!" (now crying with laughter at the thought of how they looked) "pleeeeeeease, just put them on, once more"

In the bin they went.

TotalOverhaul · 25/10/2023 21:16

I just googled them and can't see how they are different from normal leggings. There are a few pairs that are a bit ruched around the seam at the back - a bit weird, but most are just leggings. What am I missing? Can someone link?

sollenwir · 25/10/2023 21:17

The word hideous springs to mind. I would also question how hygienic the 'right up the bum' look is as they day progresses, not matter how clean you start out earlier in the day.

Busephalus · 25/10/2023 21:18

Spendsonend - why do you think they look nice

TheaBrandt · 25/10/2023 21:19

They go up your bum. They are hideous.

Don’t blame teen girl parents though many of us are worn down and have given up ney have minimal control over our offspring’s horror arse baring clothing choices.

Flissz · 25/10/2023 21:19

Genet, they are meant to be like gym wear , but the type that shows of your very well toned bum. Some women like them, I don't.

Missingmyusername · 25/10/2023 21:22

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 25/10/2023 20:37

I find them a bit obscene but weirdly fascinating. I marvel at the women who want to display their arse crack so prominently.

🤣🤣🤣 Yes, I too am strangely fascinated… I mean WHY?! 🤣

TravellingSpoon · 25/10/2023 21:23

I always think it looks like they are being sucked into a giant vortex that is where the bumhole should be.

They also look they would be super annoying to sit on, on gym machines for example, which is what they are meant for.

megletthesecond · 25/10/2023 21:23

The flesh coloured ones are comedy level awful. Black doesn't look too bad.

Chypre · 25/10/2023 21:24

Call me a prude but search algorithms are on my side - pink/tan colored ones are explicit verging on anatomical…. That’s what the google search returns, an explicit content warning (for leggings photo).

They tend to be thicker than normal leggins and normal leggins very often lose shape at the knee and bum so add some wrinkles and sag that werent there before.

I dont own any. Im middle aged and hide my body away.

If your ordinary leggings look like this, you're wearing them wrong.

BravoMyDear · 25/10/2023 21:25

The woman that stands in front of me at yoga wears them sometimes and I CANT STOP LOOKING AT HER BUM. Its phenomenal.

I would definitely not look like her in them.
