Locker room etiquette disturbs me

I never use the locker room at the Y, I just workout and then go home to shower and stuff, but I thought that a little time in the sauna might help me with my mood today (and it totally did!) but I was in there right after the senior cardio class got out.

:blink::blink::blink:

Ok, I know this is jerky, but it was a little traumatic.

Do you use the locker room at the gym?
 
If I did, it was to hold my stuff and that's it. I never got ready in them. Just thinking of changing or showering brings me back to Jr. High and high school. No thank you!

:D

Apparently in your golden years you lose all body insecurities? I texted John and told him I suddenly feel young and thin, lol!
 
:D:D:D

Yup, if I was comfortable enough to be in a senior cardio class, I'd let the cash 'n' prizes out, too.

When we belonged to the Y, we always waited for the family changing rooms. Then I could throw both kids in and pee and change myself and change them without needing to worry abt them running away or people seeing us.
 
When we used the Y - I only really used the locker room to change/shower off when I was swimming laps because if it was winter there really wasn't much choice. But it was like get dressed as quickly as possible and there are ways to keep one's towel around you without showing off all your goods and get your undies on...but goodness yes the older ladies did not seem to care and would just walk around and chat
 
I can't wait to get to the point in my life where I'm comfortable enough to let the "cash and prizes" out! :D :D

As it stands now, heck no. Sometimes, if I'm heading to the gym right after work, I'll change there, but that's it. I've got an irrational fear of public showers and restrooms, so I'd only shower there in the event of a true emergency.
 
My routine has changed over the past 20 plus years, but I have used the locker room at our club for showering and changing. I'm OK with brief nudity when undressing or dressing, but kept my bits covered when walking to and from the showers, sauna, jacuzzi or whatever.

Yes, some of the older ladies didn't use the towels so much to cover. One time I received quite a shock when I turned my head and the woman next to me was completely nude and bending over at the waist! Ha, ha!

Maybe some older women are more comfortable about their bodies because they don't feel they are objectified as much as when they were younger.

I think it's great and hope that I'll feel as comfortable as that when I'm in my sixties (yikes, that's only 14 years away). Although, if I am, I will take care to not bend over at the waist. Ha, ha!
 
haha... I know! I can't wait to hit that age where I just don't care! :) My hubby said that the men's side is just as bad... so many naked old guys just sitting around, airing out all their junk.

I get unnerved when using the hot tub in the locker room... and they don't have suits on... I didn't think I was such a prude until I was in the woman's locker room! haha

Lately, I've been using the family locker rooms because kiddo is playing in the splash pad while I'm in my water class... and I just don't trust kiddo in the men's locker room at our downtown Y, yet...
 
At my gym you have to walk thru the locker room to get to the restroom. I just look straight ahead and try to focus on getting to the doors of the restroom. LOL!
 
I had to read a bit more down to understand what this is about and actually LOL about a few things!
You should be glad that, there, it's just the senior ladies doing that.
Here, EVERYBODY does it. I had to cover my eyes when I go to the locker room and shower room. It's like nudity party in the swimming pool ladies room. My eyes and head hurt so much!
 
I never did and when we would take the girls swimming at the base/post gym, the girls only quickly showered (pool rules) and used the bathroom. We went home wet :D
 
I know what you mean! Haha... it's great how some of the older women have no shame. They shouldn't. :) It doesn't bother me at all
.. I guess it's because I was an art major in college. We saw nude people multiple times a week... doing drawings and paintings of the human body. Not only did I see them, but I had to stare and study them. It was super embarrassing at first, but then I started seeing them as pieces of art. And these weren't models... no perfect bodies.

I look forward to someday being in a place where I'm too old or too confident to care if anyone is looking or judging.
 
Nude people don't bother me, though I would probably get a little shock at seeing a woman besides myself naked...it's all peen all the time in this house...I feel like every time I turn around, Finn's got his out. LOL O_o
 
I always said that is a blessing that I´m overweight or I would be out naked in the street... LOL
So, no, you don´t have to be senior to let yourself loose... LOL!
Nudity don´t bothers me at all

Ok... for those who don't really get bothered by nudity, what if they (when I say they, I mean non-senior and non-children) don't shave and have jungles up and below? Still not bothered? :blink:
 
Haha... Sherly!!! :D I have so many things I'd like to respond with! But this is the Sweet Shoppe... LOL So I will just say that jungles are natural, so they don't bother me.
 
This isn't limited to the womens' locker room btw. It happens in the mens' locker room as well except they have group conversations discussing everything under the sun while naked according to my DH. lol At least in the women's, they get dressed and don't have extended naked conversations haha

Oops! So sorry... I didn't mean to step on any borders. I was just curious, because apparently here shaving AND personal hygiene are not a big deal. So, sometimes being in a large crowd does gross me out.
I do second Ophelia's comment though. Men seems to enjoy the locker room conversation without clothes! :D

I was just intrigued, because when I first got here and went swimming Lan, I got shocked by the level of nudity in the locker & changing rooms. I mean, yes, when I was in the UK, I got to see a few people do that, but here... they just do it as if it's the norm :confused:
 
I couldn't help but think of that Friends episode where Chandler can't see in the sauna because his glasses fog up and he sits on someone. LOL!

Oh, no you didn't say anything wrong! I was just making sure *I* didn't.
 
I use the locker room, but only to store my stuff while I work out. I pick the section closest to the door so I don't have to walk through! I love when I have Derek with me so I can use the family locker room!!!

While nudity doesn't bother me at all...I don't go around flaunting my itty bitty boobs and big ole butt!! Maybe if I actually had bigger boobs, I would use the dressing room more! LOL If I see a naked lady in the gym, I might get a little jealous of her's!! LOL

This whole thread is funny. I think if you make it past 65yrs old, you are entitled to let it all hang out if you want. ROFL

I hope I'm that confident and don't care too!!
