I Remember Physical Education In Vest And Pants [I Hated Physical Education Class]

At my primary school, if you weren’t wearing a vest when you forgot your PE kit, you had to do PE shirtless.

Which was extremely awkward as a girl. The double embarrassment of having your bare nipples exposed for the boys to see, in addition to your panties. I experienced this humiliation myself a few times.

In the last year of primary school, many girls started wearing bras. Which provided a bit more dignity if you forgot your kit.

I’m sure that incentivised you to remember your PE kit.

@harveyrider We had to wear our pants if we forgot our PE kit. I still managed to forget mine on three occasions despite the horror of doing gymnastics in just my knickers.

@QuietSophie how old were you?

SandraB · 41-45, F

@QuietSophie Doesn't seem so bad, I did PE and gymnastics in gym knickers back in my day.

QuietSophie · 26-30, F

@harveyrider It happened at primary school, up until I was 11.

@SandraB when i taught the younger girks did PE in just their underwear

@QuietSophie what happened at secondary school?

ozgirl512 · 31-35, F

@QuietSophie cute and entertaining lol

QuietSophie · 26-30, F

@SandraB Gym knickers are horrible, but a bit more substantial than underwear.

QuietSophie · 26-30, F

@harveyrider Up to what age?

harveyrider · 61-69, M

@QuietSophie up to 12

SandraB · 41-45, F

@QuietSophie Well they were better than the alternative which was nothing. Gym knickers outside wasn't very nice.

ozgirl512 · 31-35, F

@SandraB true that 🤣

QuietSophie · 26-30, F

@harveyrider Indoors we were given t-shirt and shorts to borrow and we went in bare feet. Outdoors, you got detention.

harveyrider · 61-69, M

@QuietSophie I taught in the days of corporal punishment so it would have been that rather than detention

QuietSophie · 26-30, F

@SandraB Cold, red legs 😥 What colour were your gym knickers?

QuietSophie · 26-30, F

@harveyrider 😥

SandraB · 41-45, F

@QuietSophie Cold legs indeed. Our knickers were navy blue and we were allowed a white vest

QuietSophie · 26-30, F

@SandraB That's not going to keep you too warm outside 😟 What sort of things did you do for outdoor PE?

QuietSophie · 26-30, F

@ozgirl512 it certainly kept the other girls in my class entertained 😠

ozgirl512 · 31-35, F

@QuietSophie and maybe you learnt one of life's greatest lessons, the ability to laugh at yourself when you see screw up ;)

QuietSophie · 26-30, F

@ozgirl512 😄👍

SandraB · 41-45, F

@QuietSophie You just had to keep moving! Winter was hockey, netball and cross country. Summer was netball, rounders and track

QuietSophie · 26-30, F

@SandraB Good advice! 😊

SandraB · 41-45, F

@QuietSophie And don't forget your plimsolls... otherwise bare feet

harveyrider · 61-69, M

@SandraB indoor PE should be done bare feet anyway
