I haven't seen any size of person these things look good on, they are hideous.
I am just thankful they aren't unisex 🤣

Some of the comments on this about other people’s bodies are really not ok tbh.

Vicky Pollard would have many pairs in a range of colours.

I like them. They look really comfy.

crumblingschools · 20/04/2024 18:50

The bustle didn’t show your bum crack though. Why do you need to show that to everyone?

WalkWithMeSuzieLee · 20/04/2024 18:51

Loads of women in my gym wear them. I think they're hideous!

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 20/04/2024 18:52

They look horrendous.

existentialpain · 20/04/2024 18:52

They would annoy the hell out of me. I'd want to pull them out of my bum all the time.

Surely not healthy if you're prone to thrush etc?

Beezknees · 20/04/2024 18:52

I wouldn't because I'm fat with cellulite so they would be incredibly unflattering but I've seen women with nice figures in the gym with them on.

Riapia · 20/04/2024 18:59

Newcastle winter wear.
😉😁😁

They're the polar opposite of classy or dignified. You may as well walk around naked.

I think my running shorts have them, I didn't order them to be scrunch specifically but they appear to be.

It's fine, nobody really takes any notice when I'm running which is why I wear short shorts even though I have chunky legs. All my pairs also ride up so that's interesting but nothing I can do about that if I don't want to get too hot in leggings.

I do get compliments on my bum because it's naturally curvy which is what most people seem to aspire to at the minute. It's not the best but it's not the worst and if people don't like it then they can just look away.

I don't wear my shorts in the gym though because I'm too self conscious about the chunky legs and the cellulite and I'm a lot more visible when I'm weightlifting or on a bit of cardio equipment. Same reason for not wearing them day to day but I probably would if I had nicer legs!

RomeoRivers · 20/04/2024 19:01

I wear the leggings ones at home all the time and I’ve probably worn them out before as well. They’re comfy and I’ve got a great bum 😂 I get that they look a bit silly, but to be honest I don’t really care what I look like; postpartum they were the only thing that fit me and I didn’t want to waste money on proper clothes until I got back to my pre pregnancy weight.

I'm sure your legs are fine! Wear them!

Do you do glass or ceramic? I'd love to find a mosaic class (off topic)

Only £53!
The model does have a lovely bum.
I have no backside at all 😕

Im sorry but that pic is giving me wrinkly pink balloon vibes.

Of course people wear them IRL!

Vicky Pollard would be regularly adjusting the seam with zero embarrassment!

I live in London, and yes. In the gym but also out in public in parks/out for walks/people I assume walking back from some exercise.

I can’t help but look and check for skidmarks….

OneTC · 20/04/2024 19:09

Quite a lot of people wear them at the climbing gym

Oh my God! Why the hell would you do that?! 🤢

Bitzi · 20/04/2024 19:11

I cannot see these leggings on people of any size/shape without pitying the poor things. They are literally going around with their bums hanging out, God bless them.
