Even the name is horrendous

As I've said upthread, I don't have an issue with these leggings and actually think they look nice sometimes.

BUT I did see a woman in a pair of leggings (not scrunch bum) and I could see her actual clitoral hood outlined through the front. I think it was a bad combo of the particular legging fabric, her specific anatomy and the fact that she was very slender with no fat on her pubic mound (and I'm assuming an all-off bikini wax). That did make my eyes pop out!

It was made worse by the fact her crotch was at my eye level due to her coming down some steps I was going up.

I have an urge to pick them from the wearer's crack. But I resist because I don't want to end up on a register.

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

They really do!! 😱

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

I think the shaming is very much directed at the leggings.

You cannot blame the poor arses being cheese grated by the scrunch.

Everyone wears them at my gym. Bum sweat on display everywhere.

Gettingbysomehow · 25/10/2023 22:40

They are the most revolting things I've ever seen. Luckily they don't seem to have reached Somerset yet.

fernsandlilies · 25/10/2023 22:40

’Us girls’ ?
’Karen’ ?

just drop the misogyny and the fakeness

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.

„Cats arse trousers“… 🤣

cycling shorts are different - typically you don't wear underwear and tye padding is to protect your arse and Willy/balls or Fanny from the saddle

PurplePansy05 · 25/10/2023 22:44

I had to Google what they are. Hideous. Don't understand why anyone would pay money for them.

retinolalcohol · 25/10/2023 22:44

I have lots of pairs of these. One of the pairs is also beige, which I'm sure you'll also shudder at the thought of!

I wear them for the gym because I think they look good, I'm body confident, and when I feel like I look good I'm more productive at the gym. They don't make me feel any more 'exposed' than normal leggings. If anything they're more comfortable than normal leggings for squatting, because they don't bunch up/have to stretch as much in awkward places. They don't make my ass any more sweaty.

I also only ever wear thongs so maybe I'm used to the sensation

There are plenty of things I see on a daily basis that I think are hideous. I'm 27, and have plenty friends who also wear them - it's a generational thing. What's the need for the judgement? We all have different tastes - be a boring world if we didn't! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sometimes a bit of body shaming is needed

No. What's needed is taste-shaming. Body-shaming refers to the bum under the hideous leggings and no one's bum should be shamed.

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 25/10/2023 22:46

Nowhere** I'm almost fifty and have been told on numerous occasions I've got an awesome arse especially in my normal non scrunching gym leggings. The rest of me is pretty toned too more so than a few of the 20 somethings that also go

So not at all jealous

Shit I forgot the balloons for my son’s birthday tomorrow

Love how auto correct has put a capital at start of Willy and Fanny in my posts Grin

They've reached Cornwall. Or maybe it's holiday makers I'm seeing in them.

AzureBlue99 · 25/10/2023 22:48

Had to look them up. Was going to post about baboons but others have mentioned it. I bet this is a direct result of anal porn. They are just showcasing their anus. Grim. I also find boys jailing with their arse cheeks showing offensive and blokes that shove their hands down their trackies and play with their dicks in public.

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 😂

They all seem to be walking ahead of me on the road outside Primark. Salmon or pale yellow seemingly the only colours available. 🫣

Conkersinautumn · 25/10/2023 22:49

A joke that got out of hand. Very Little Britain aren't they.

bombastix · 25/10/2023 22:50

Could be good for shoplifting. Arse clamp a family pack of Doritos and prove the critics wrong with your cats bum pants. Then it all pays off
