To think scrunch bum leggings look fucking shit

Even the name is horrendous

Awful, though almost all leggings look bad. Perhaps a £100 tax on every pair would put an end to them.

It looks like an extended puckered anus to me. Is that hot?

That is honestly vomit inducing.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 25/10/2023 22:06

It’s no odder than crop tops or push up bras etc.

Yes it is. It's not the butt-lifting quality that's weird, it's the showing your arse crack quality. They are absolutely grim imo. The school where I teach has no specific dress code for 6th formers, and some of them wear these.

Why because I don’t like women being body shamed?

I’d normally be saying the same, except, come on honestly? In these leggings? It’s worse than going out naked really.

Gobsmacked.. a lot of women hate Drag for the caricature element, while more and more young women are choosing to do it to themselves anyway.
Exaggerated boobs, hair, lips, bums, its getting ridiculous and quite revolting now, imo!

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!!

This made me laugh so much🤣

shockwaze · 25/10/2023 22:07

Sometimes a bit of body shaming is needed

I don’t think anyone looks good in any leggings really.

I love good gym kit which delivers performance wise but there's something about those strange things which gives me the ick.

GarlicGrace · 25/10/2023 22:08

They look amazing on the young, slender, highly toned women they're intended for. A bit startling to the unaccustomed eye, but more "Wow!" than "Urgh!"

On everybody else, they look ... revealing, not in a good way 😂

So are those bloody tiny shorts that are frankly about the same size as my actual underwear. I have no desire to see a teenage girl’s arse when I’m queuing for a coffee 😳

😅 I agree. A parent had then on for the school run and was in front of me.

Polis · 25/10/2023 22:09

Literally everyone wears them

Everyone doesn’t. Literally.

I don’t. My mum doesn’t. Nobody I know does.

LavaGuava · 25/10/2023 20:41

One of the mums at my DCs school wears them. I didn’t know what they were called until I saw this. They do look a bit obscene on the school run!

I've just wrote the same 🙈 I wonder if we go to the same school

I have to confess that being short sighted, when I recently saw someone in some flesh coloured ones at a distance, I genuinely did a double take and assumed there had been a major wardrobe omission.

MolkosTeenageAngst · 25/10/2023 22:10

I think they look awful. Will the next trend be extending the ‘scrunch’ seam to show off your camel toe as well as your arse crack?

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 25/10/2023 22:11

SheerLucks · 25/10/2023 21:56

Meanwhile, guys and boys in comfy weather appropriate clothes.

This is THE saddest thing...

Absolutely

Classic Mumsnet 😂 I do love us all, and our sour-faced disapproval.

Just off to change into a high-necked blouse and a voluminous ankle-length skirt with bustle and corsetry.

I didn’t know where put my face

But you knew where to park your bike.

desikated · 25/10/2023 22:12

Good lord I didn't know this had a name or was a thing. I just thought people were wearing weirdly fitting leggings.

BeautBastard · 25/10/2023 22:12

@NoraLuka aaw you're actually a loving genius.

Restingbitch2 · 25/10/2023 22:12

yesyesitsaparkingone · 25/10/2023 21:52

Just looked them up. Omg, the confidence required!

Just realised what they have always reminded me of: a centaur. (I would love an arse like that though. I have the big thighs but mine wobble.)

Goodornot · 25/10/2023 22:13

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.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

One of my colleagues posts them all the time as she has some kind of instagram partnership with a cheap sports wear company. She also pairs them with tiny halter neck bras and I'm amazed she can exercise in them.

Busephalus · 25/10/2023 22:13

Is it confidence required? More delusional stupidity

Scottishskifun · 25/10/2023 22:14

Coming to a softplay near you soon big joy can't wait for that one 😂
