A fitness influencer has slammed Nike and Adidas, claiming they make women’s sportswear that is “too tight and cropped.”
Donna Dunne, who lives in Ireland, went to a sports clothing store hoping to find something new to work out with.
However, she was deeply disappointed to discover that many of the clothes were inappropriate and could “barely cover” her buttocks.
But when she was shopping in the men’s section, she found the options were different: looser-fitting, brighter, and with proper pockets.
She said in an Instagram clip: ‘Sorry but what the f**k is going on with women’s sportswear?
Donna Dunne went to a sportswear store hoping to find something new to work out in, but was disappointed.
‘I’m here wandering around a well-known sports store and looking at all the fabulous men’s clothes with pockets, brightly colored t-shirts and fabrics that don’t stick to your greasy bits.
‘Shorts that are a decent length so your butt doesn’t stick out.’
Donna then headed to the women’s section, where she found cropped t-shirts that were “super short” in length.
The content creator, who is an online fitness and exercise science teacher, said the outfit was designed for women who “don’t have fat.”
And he added: ‘Really? Have you ever met a woman who hasn’t gained weight?
Donna then held up a pair of pink Nike Pro shorts, calling them “ridiculous” and stating that they were “not designed for women.”
She added: ‘I mean, I’m a skinny bitch and these women’s shorts wouldn’t cover me.’ “Sports brands, if they want to empower women, stop making clothes that don’t fit us.”
Donna said she previously loved wearing Adidas and Nike clothing, but the logo had come off her new leggings, adding that “the quality isn’t there anymore.”
Donna headed to the women’s section, where she found cropped t-shirts that were “super short” in length.
Donna’s original video racked up nearly 45,000 likes on Instagram and received many comments, with many agreeing with her rant.
After receiving many comments on her first video, Donna made a second clip answering some of the questions people had.
She was asked why she wouldn’t shop in the men’s section, to which she responded, “I’m not a man, I’m a small woman, so men’s clothing doesn’t fit me.”
‘All I ask is a little choice.
“We want longer T-shirts and shorts and we don’t want to have to search the men’s section for clothes that cover our butts.”
Donna’s original video racked up nearly 45,000 likes on Instagram and received many comments, many of which agreed with her rant.
One wrote: ‘100 per cent. It’s so degrading. And stop doing it with girls from the age of four.
Another said: ‘Totally agree. I’m skinny and I would never in a million years wear what’s on offer in gym clothes right now.
‘I go to the gym to lift weights, not to show off my whole body! I want everything covered! Who is your real market? Because it’s not people who actually go to the gym!’
A third wrote: ‘And why is everything pink!’
A fourth commented: “I can’t buy a whole t-shirt these days.”
Nike and Adidas have been contacted for comment.
