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 🤮

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… ?

I mean POUR is kind of an exaggeration, but a perfectly clean vagina still has discharge. that's how it cleans itself. and nobody wants to sit down on a strangers vaginal discharge.

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

please sit on a towel if you are not wearing underwear. seems perfectly fair to me. it's the rules at Naturist venues.

“To prevent flappage trappage and mingement impingement, the management kindly requests that all gym users refrain from airing their Marys in the changing rooms. Floof grooming is strictly prohibited 🚫”

I love it well done!!!

Omg fanny germs!!! That's your best yet!!!!

Exactly what germs are flying out of my freshly washed fanny to infect you? Is it a virus? Infectious bacteria? Is it airborne? Or just droplets? What will you catch? Will it be serious?

You're hilarious! You can definitely come over anytime!

I reckon we’d have a right laugh!!!

Love this thread, have read every single post. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@dairydebris just because you wouldn't mind your 5 year old dc getting a close up of someone's foof/bum hole it doesn't mean to say someone else's dc wouldn't mind! If you want to show off that's up to you, but show some respect to other small dc & their parents!

Really hoping that someone, somewhere, does a scientific study to test whether Fanny germs come flying out of hair dryers when you dry yourself! 😂

I can imagine one of the Van Tulleken brothers doing a segment on The One Show to explore this topic

Jesus this thread is mental!

It's a close up now, is it? How did we jump to a close up? Is Sheila now getting into our own personal space then bending over and giving us a close up? Is she grabbing my 5 year old by the scruff and forcing her to look? Or are you literally just making stuff up to froth about?

I literally grew up going to a lot of naturist campsites, and there was a sports centre that had a naturist evening once a month.
and NOBODY would have dreamed of sitting down without putting their towel down first. if you did the trampolining, you had to put pants on (because of the sitting bounces) yes, everyone was naked. but everyone also respected that nobody wanted their undercarriage all over every surface.

Well there we go then!

I just don’t understand why vulvas are seen as so clean and penises aren’t. I’m also now wondering if there’s something wrong with mine as I did the ‘bench test’ well on a chair and it definitely touches.

Remember this is mumsnet and discharge is always leaking which is why you need tight pants in bed!

You must be sitting in an odd position. Don’t you sit on your bottom like other people?

The craziness expressed on this thread is mind boggling!

My bottom and vulva both touch the bench. 😳

@SabreIsMyFave she was 70+

@ilovesooty I'm hardly going to approach her and say please take your fanny off the bench.

🤣

Small, widely spaced buttocks = sits directly on vulva.
Large voluminous buttocks = sits mainly on buttocks shielding precious vulva.

This thread is the gift that keeps giving and I for one am here for it.

depends on how er plump your vulva is? I still remember the motherland episode. Liz has a very thin one and Julia’s is a hoof.

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.

Is there an actual risk of vaguccas? Is that a thing?

I'm a bit surprised, at my time of life, to find something new to worry about.

loveawineloveacrisp · 13/01/2025 20:55

Vagguca 😂😂😂 Brilliant!

Plus the hygiene aspect of your fanny germs flying out of the hair dryer and flying around. I’m absolutely laughing my head off at the thought that you’re defending this. It’s just minging.

If this is serious it's actually deranged

ADHDChick · 13/01/2025 22:37

Whilst the lack of towel between body and bench is indeed unhygienic and completely agree it is inappropriate, the degree of pearl
clutching going on around general nudity on this thread is a little much. It’s a single gender environment, and to be honest women being comfortable in their nudity I view as positive rather than ‘performative’. I’ve lived in a number of countries where being naked on saunas is expected (and indeed obligatory from a hygiene perspective) and similarly in changing rooms, I’ve found women to be far less self-conscious. It was very liberating and finally helped me get over the desperate towel clutching of post school swimming lessons… If it’s easier to get fully dry and moisturise pre-underwear, I will always still do that. But yes, definitely with an inter-minge-bench towel…

loveawineloveacrisp · 14/01/2025 06:53

@ADHDChick it's the lack of towel or underwear that I took issue with. But I still don't know why it's necessary to moisturise your whole body whilst wearing nothing.

Yes maybe deranged but I still think it’s not fair to blow your fishy fanny at 5 year olds whilst proudly displaying it to all🤣🤣

But don't you find it even a bit 'Look at me, look at how comfortable and relaxed I am about nudity'?
