Gross reaction to woman’s viral gym bra fail: ‘Wear clothes’

A woman whose zip-up sports bra burst open at the gym has copped wild criticism from men who claim she should “wear clothes” to avoid the situation.

While women everywhere empathized with Canadian influencer Kylie Thompson after she shared a video of her recent wardrobe malfunction while she was working out, there were others who claimed Thompson should “wear clothes instead of undergarments” in public spaces.

Her unfortunate experience sparked a war of words between men and women after Thompson shared the clip on TikTok.

In the video, Thompson can be seen wearing a pair of grey bike shorts with a khaki top that features a zip that goes through the middle.

Despite the clasp being fully closed, the top bursts open as Thompson gets ready to lift weight using a machine, prompting her to clasp her chest.

“New gym fear unlocked: wardrobe malfunctions,” the popular gym-user wrote across the footage.

She also praised the “clasp on the inside” for protecting her from being fully exposed, as it kept the top held together while the middle split apart.

Thompson’s video quickly blew up, but as women shared their own wardrobe mishaps at the gym, the opposite sex appeared to have little sympathy for her plight.

“Maybe wear clothes instead of undergarments. I wish I was born 2000 years ago,” one bloke lamented.

“That’s why there’s something called shirts for public,” another scoffed.

One particularly rude bloke even made a completely unacceptable remark about Thompson’s bust size, while another echoed a similar sentiment one woman labelled “gross”.

In stark contrast, women flooded the video with messages of support, sharing their own stories of gym outfit fails in a bid to reassure Thompson.

“My zip bra does that literally all the time,” one commented.

“I had this exact malfunction on the treadmill recently,” another added.

As one declared: “This is why I’m never wearing the zip up ones EVER AGAIN.”

One woman revealed she’d suffered a similar misfortune when her “shorts ripped right down the middle”.

“I started my period at the gym and was wearing white… lol,” someone else mused.

As one offered a handy piece of advice, revealing she wears a “safety pin” on the inside of her zip-up bras to avoid the situation.

Interestingly, some aired concern over the fact Thompson’s long brunette hair was hung loose down her back while she worked out, speculating it could be dangerous.

“It’s the hair I’m worried about. People see boobs quite often but not people getting scalped,” one offered.

“Why leave your hair down?! Easily could get caught in any machine. Plus I get too sweaty if I don’t tie it up,” another agreed.
