This is grim, yes?

Gym changing rooms. Woman sat butt naked on vinyl type benches while she rubbed body lotion in for about 10 mins. Bare arse and foof all over furniture which others are using. Put some knickers on ffs, I don't care if you're naked but please don't rub your lady bits all over the furniture 🤮

Presumably just showered? I would not have a problem and would not say grim (not least because I can't stand the word Grin).

It is absolutely grim to sit in public naked whether juices leak or not. It’s just foul. If I wanted to sniff, smell, see Fanny juices I would become a lesbian but luckily I don’t and whatever anyone says - yes it’s grim!! Keep your sweaty fanny and bum hole to yourself please!!

Have tits been declared unhygienic now as well as fannies? I'm so festooned with germs it's amazing that I'm still here.

I think the poster meant that the stuff you're shoving in your bra could have all manner of yuck on it that you'd rather not put against your skin (or an expensive bra for that matter).

Lol.

I missed the part where somebody forced you to smell, sniff and look at the bench after the lady vacated. Or perhaps that but was just in your mind... smell the bench after she left? Lol!!!

I'm genuinely sorry for you that you find normal human bodies this distressing. Changing rooms must be very difficult for you indeed. And public toilets? Impossible. Sympathies.

Apparently belly buttons have the highest microbial count on the body, but no one seems concerned about that. 🤪

Homophobia and misogyny neatly combined!

Disturbia81 · 12/01/2025 15:47

@dairydebris There you are going to extremes again. It's not about finding bodies disgusting, we own one FFS. And I personally love ladies private parts.

But same as snot, piss, shit.. we want as least contact with other peoples bodily juices as possible. For hygiene, smell, health reasons. We all have to function together in this world, just keep it covered and clean and then it's nice for everyone.

Thanks for the tip. I would have thought that for the judgemental Gatekeepers of "Grim" hands must be quite nauseating objects of disgust!

Allthenameshavegone1972 · 12/01/2025 16:00

@AnnunciataM was it a lady's only sauna? I can imagine if a man had laid there stark naked, legs akimbo with his family jewels on show, that he'd have been ejected!

Grim for her, people put their dirty trainers on there to tie laces. Or verrucad, athletes footed manky feet. Backpacks that have been on bus floors. Last place I'd want my freshly washed (or otherwise) foof.

Yeah, it's not great but I think the bigger health risks are to her. I think best to assume the gym is fairly unsanitary all round.

I posted something similar a while back about an older lady who enjoyed coming into the family changing bay every swimming lesson session, ignoring the many many empty bays, butt naked, one leg hoisted up on the bench E45ing herself head to toe- whilst giving all the waist height 5 year olds quite the eyeful. She also liked to follow up with a full body blow dry too, with foof blow out. I did have posters popping up to tell me I was being ageist….

Those poor kids, what 5 year old wants an eyeful of anybody's - male or female - genitals! Some people just love to show off & have no respect for other people

@CherryFlan I would say yes if you're going to put your semen and faeces infested cash into your bra. Why anybody would want to put something that has been passed around the general public, into their underwear, is beyond me.

Well, yeah, who the fuck wants to be handling money that some woman has had stuffed in her sweaty bra? 🤢 And as a pp said, imagine the amount of germs you have against your tits with all that dirty paper money in there?! 😖

This dirty fecker - from Dickinson's Real Deal - is someone who buys stuff in the auctions, and when she produces her money, she pulls it out of her bra. 😱

Makes me feel sick to my stomach to watch it, and it's made me stop watching the show. Gross as fuck. 🤢 The woman is utterly grim! 😖

Absolutely grim. Gym/fitness studio hygiene in general absolutely icks me out.

I do a lot of Yoga and have been dubious for a while over the hygiene of the studio-provided mats, despite the fact people are supposed to wipe them after use. Wanted to buy my own one of the same quality but the brand is very expensive so kept talking myself out of it. Walked into a class the other day and a woman with feet covered in massive verrucas was using one of the mats and that was my final straw, ordered the costly mat on my journey home! 🤢

Yuk! Yet another reason for me to avoid Yoga!
I always thought at least socks were worn 🤔
I hate walking in bare feet. I wear flip flops to walk to my own shower 😂

I just find the hypocrisy funny.
Floppy penis = no
squishy vulva = ok and VERY clean

loveawineloveacrisp · 11/01/2025 11:18

It takes zero effort or time to put a pair of knickers on though. Completely needless to sit there butt naked for ages.

Or sit on your towel. I'm grossed out at how cold and uncomfortable a vinyl type bench would be on my bare arse.

I was thinking the same thing. If it were any private part of a male anatomy it’d be ‘urgh, disgusting’. But because it’s a magical vulva, we should all be in awe.

Spondoolie · 12/01/2025 22:08

Whaaaat?!

why are you all such prudes?

and to those who mentioned vaginal discharge??! Wtf? Does it pour out of your clean foof? I’ve never had any so cannot see how its a concern to a bench… ?

Do look out for any thread with the word grim in the title - it's guaranteed to be excellent entertainment value, with crazy judgementalism, unhinged tantrums and competitive hygiene standards. It turns out that adding in tits, fannies and arses takes it to a whole new level Grin

Exactly. And apparently if we're not, we're misogynists. 🙄

'Get your stench off the bench!' has a nice ring to it.

Or get your perineum off the bench!!
