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 🤮

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.

I'm amazed any of you managed to have kids.. why are you all so weird about people's bodies

SnowFrogJelly · 12/01/2025 23:43

Bodies are generally not unhygienic or grim

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

Has anyone said that? If so, I missed it. I don't want any penises in the female changing rooms but have zero problem with naked people of either sex, fresh from the shower, sitting on a bench.

I really cannot see the link between thinking a stranger in the gym should avoid her private parts coming into contact with a public bench and having children…

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

This has me laughing a lot! I am imagining the woman whose unfortunate fanny and bum hole was squished to the vinyl seat wondering if it’s her we are talking about ! Hopefully this post will instil a sense of shame and future decorum, particularly the lady who was mentioned blow drying her bits in front of 5 year olds. It’s foul and disgusting, I know it, you know it, we all know it! 🤮

loveawineloveacrisp · 13/01/2025 07:35

I'm going for a swim again today. Will report back on the bench/bumhole situation.

This is properly unhinged.
A sense of shame around nudity and private parts, in a gym changing room?
Foul and disgusting?
Your attitude towards human bodies is really off.

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

But ... b.b..but ... 🍗

Yes. I'd have a lot more to say about a dick in a female changing area, that is for sure.

Unfortunately, yes. Duncan Bannatyne's female changing areas are guaranteed dick-free as he knows what a woman is.

@Frillysweetpea Glad to hear it x

Fraaances · 13/01/2025 13:03

Speak to management about this and ask them to put signs up. That’s fucking gross.

Some people on this thread have definitely had an irony bypass.

Put signs up saying 'no naked foofs on benches please'?! 😂

I know right. All the pearl clutching 'faux outraged' comments about how outrageous and disgusting it is that soooo many posters are 'disgusted' by female body parts. LMFAO! 😂

loveawineloveacrisp · 13/01/2025 13:59

Pleased to report that there was no changing room inappropriateness today. Just lots of people unable to park properly but that's a whole other thread!

Please don’t start introducing dick to female changing rooms. This is Mumsnet, the place will go into meltdown!

Only bare strangers body parts. So if I came to your house and sat on the sofa with a bare bum or on a bus or aeroplane that’s acceptable is it?😄

Not really an ‘off’attitude is it. The majority agree. I’ll come and sit on your sofa with a bare bum if it’s so acceptable shall I?!

I'd really be delighted! (You'd likely get arrested though.)
