This is grim, yes?

[loveawineloveacrisp]

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'm not disputing what you said but I'm thankful that at my gym I've only ever seen people using the hairdryers for the hair on their heads, and they aren't naked while they're doing it.

Worst ever wasn’t in a changing room, it was on a very crowded beach in Greece. Lying on my front, I just happened to look up when a fat old German woman far too close, had decided to get changed and was brandishing her saggy old full-frontal hairy fanny virtually in my face.

Just before we were going off for lunch, too. 🤮

Plus she was applying lotion, so moving around there is no way she'd be able control the bits to bench ratio 🤣

Oh swimming pools are way worse, you aren't swallowing a mix of pee and chlorine and other people's spit at the gym.

It’s not the accidental slip of a towel or robe. It’s the “completely naked styling the hair and rubbing in body lotion” brigade who are usually much older women. I don’t get it and I never will.

Since you ask, I have a fairly standard issue 50+ year old arse! I sit on the cheeks of it. I would have to grind it into the bench to get my anus anywhere near the surface, or straddle it for my vulva! 🤦‍♀️🤣😱

If I rock onto one cheek, my arsehole lifts even further away from the seat. Yup. I have just experimented. So, in the now highly unlikely event of me sitting naked in a gym changing room, I am confident I won't be contaminating the seating.

I have also never applied body lotion either in a gym changing room, or at home. Nor have I blow dried my minge.

Why don't you say something to her politely

Damn it. Just had a shower, got dressed and realised I didn't blow dry my bits! I only just learnt to do this on this thread today 🤣 will have to remember next time and report back to you all 😂

Grim. Also the ones that walk around naked just chatting. No I don't want your boob's winging past me as you chat to Jennifer

Because she looked the type who didn't give a single shit and I'd rather not have a confrontation in the place I visit most days.

I used to swim a couple of times of week and of course had a quick post swim shower to get the chlorine off my skin, would jump in wearing my costume and have a sluice down with my shower gel then get dry and put my clothes back on, I always recall this woman who would strip off (which is fine) to use the showers and then put on a slow mo performance of lathering up every body part while twirling round and giving everyone a full front and back show. I was all for dashing out as fast as possible!

@lifeonmars100 Beyond grim and not normal surely

Same!

Our showers are cubicles so you can get fully naked and have a proper shower. But then I go back wrapped in a towel to get dressed like a normal person.

Ooh forgot lack of tone, I was only joking op. Sounds awful anyway, I wouldn't have liked it either.

She would probably corner you and give you a mouthful (which she most likely would enjoy by making you uncomfortable). Change as far away from her as possible 😂

Yeah this. ^ Like I said earlier, what are they trying to prove? I don't want to see it.

@lynnepartridge haha fair enough!

I said this earlier ^ but my comment got deleted ... It is true though.

I don't participate but I love the camaraderie of the women chatting and happily getting on with changing with no shame. Usually too old to give any fucks about what anyone else thinks. I aspire to be so comfortable in my own body.

I saw similar once when I was walking past my gym’s sauna - a woman lying naked on the bench, feet together and knees collapsed outwards. How anyone thinks it’s acceptable to spread your legs, stark naked, in a public place is beyond me.

I think it's a thing, well it is at my gym. Interestingly (or maybe not) the butt naked ones who spend ages rubbing in the lotion and drying their bits in front of the mirror are either really elderly ladies or extremely gym fit attractive ladies. All the middle of the roads (which includes me) dress quickly under towels and do that towel to knickers to bra thing our mum's taught us at the beach 😂

My DH reports that it's exactly the same in the men's changing room. Either butt naked elderly men sauntering about or scratching themselves by the mirror and taking ages to get changed or gym fit attractive blokes hair drying their bits fully naked and admiring themselves in the mirror (DH witnessed this one and had to stop himself shouting out oh FFS).

Edited to also add; I wonder if the elderly men and women WERE the extremely attractive gym fit ones in their youth and are just pretending they still are or just don't give a fuck?! It's a mystery...

I love the camaraderie of the women chatting and happily getting on with changing

That's not what the OP (and many other people) are talking about though! (Just happily chatting and changing clothes!) It's about them swanning about completely naked, and sitting with their bare arse and bare vulva on the seats, and showing it all off to anyone in the changing room. Many people (as this thread is illustrating) do NOT want to see this.

That exact thing happens in my gym too! I’m part of a very large gym, and naturally, it gets really busy, especially during peak times in the evening. After the Aqua class, the women’s changing room is always packed with ladies just like the ones you described.

While I have absolutely nothing against nudity, the way they go about it is honestly quite bizarre. It’s as if they’re intentionally putting everything on display for everyone to see. I can’t help but wonder sometimes—why? It feels so unnecessary, almost like they’re making a point of showing off their bits and bobs.🤔

The women at the pool-based physio class I go to are mostly pension age and older. They help each other do up bras because of dodgy shoulders and natter about plans for the week while getting dried. No fucks are given. We've seen it all before and no one gives a shit.

A standing joke is "who's been a saint this week?" (Knickerless/Nicholas - because we wear our swimsuits under our clothes when we arrive and someone inevitably forgets to put a pair of knickers in her bag)
