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 🤮

If she is fresh out the shower and you only sit on seating with your clothes or on a towel I don’t see the issue?

I hate people who are naked in the gym changing rooms. It’s absolutely not necessary! Organise your life better so you can just do your naked things at home like everyone else. Or go into a toilet cubicle if you must but there is no excuse other than some sort of showing off! Agree it’s grim

I "imagine" if my son had said that he would have got a verbal slap around the head and told to apologise immediately.

Yuk. So gross and lacking in awareness.

Do vaginas that are fresh out of the shower not produce discharge?

What about those who shower but don’t wash themselves properly? Not everyone is scrupulous with cleaning themselves.

Apart from anything, it’s wholly unnecessary to sit on a public chair naked. One could easily apply moisturiser wearing underwear.

The worst one I went to for women parading about nude was the council one in Putney. Have never seen the like of it anywhere else. I don't mind brief nudity as you put your bra and pants on but it was like a nudist camp. Was only in my 20s at the time and most of the women were 20 or 30 years older. Now I am 20 or 30 years older I have lots of body confidence but still wouldn't go on like that. Too cold for starters.

@SabreIsMyFave she was 70+

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

Ooh I might know her… she says that we’re all women together and walking around naked is bonding.

I'd hope the Mum would tell her son that it's not polite to comments on other people's bodies and that everyone is different.

I has never happened to me anyway. I never forget my towel and I don't have saggy bits.

AnonymousBleep · 09/01/2025 14:43

My gym must be an outrider then because almost nobody uses the changing room or showers, let alone wanders around naked. It's a massive council-run gym and everyone scurries in, does their workout, and scurries off again. I once used the shower (because mine at home was broken) and it was deserted and weird, I was a bit worried I'd get murdered like in Psycho.

There is a pool (with separate changing rooms) which I don't use as I hate swimming, maybe that's where the full frontal stuff takes place.

pumpkinpillow · 09/01/2025 14:43

Maybe the over 50s are celebrating being post menopausal - no periods and less discharge.

We are the ones who should be roller skating around in our tiny white shorts, never mind the Body Form woman!

I’ve never understood the need to be butt naked in gym changing rooms.

Back in around September in my DL changing room there was a tiny little elderly lady standing there starkers, chatting to a much younger woman who was fully dressed. I went to the loo and when I came back, she was still there, still chatting, still starkers. She was brown all over so I thought she was maybe an ardent nudist, making some sort of point.

Are you sure you haven't wandered into a secondary school PE lesson?! 😅

Please can you do some research on the pool side changing rooms and report back?

I would if it didn't involve me getting into a swimming costume and using the pool. Might look a bit weird if I just stroll in, fully clothed, to observe the (potential) nudists.

BabstheBounder · 09/01/2025 14:46

SHE COULD GET ATHLETES FOOT IN HER DOWN BELOWS!

I'd just not look. I can't be bothered/worried/concerned about the things I cannot see. But I'd always put a towel down or my pants on before I sit on a bench in the gym (see athletes foot comment above).

AnnunciataM · 09/01/2025 13:57

There was a woman like this at my gym - she'd always spend ages naked, rubbing lotions into her skin. Then one day my friend was in the sauna and this woman came in starkers, lay down on the same bench and drew her legs up like a roast chicken. You can imagine the view my friend got!

Legs up like a roast chicken killed me 🤣🤣

There's a woman who goes to our local David Lloyd who's like this. Stays naked for as long as possible, parades up and down, does a lengthy hair-dry and then does a full face of make-up. All nude. Leaves getting dressed till the very last minute. Why? No need to hide behind a towel, but why not get dressed first and then do your hair and face? I don't get it. She sits on the benches too. Luckily she always favours a certain spot, so I can avoid it.

WTF? Horribly unnecessary

Joy of sex type.. looool

I'm at a DL too. There's a lot of unnecessary nakedness in my opinion.

Minge Crime
Gym benches have seen so much bodily oozing action.

Actually wheezing with laughter

Minge Crime has to be a band name omg

Mum always said sit on a towel when we used to go swimming as kids. Wooden benches with those blue vinyl curtains in place, but we always sat on towels. I can't imagine who the fuck would want to sit on a surface that others have, with their bare minge. It's asking for trouble.
