2.0 out of 5 stars Not quite there
Reviewed in the United States on 18 November 2019
Colour: TealSize: MediumVerified Purchase
Pros: the length of the leggings was perfect. I’m 5’11” and I always feel like I should get a large because of the length but I’m lanky so larges tend to be to big in the waist. So I got a medium and they fit great. Also the waist was high and tight. Also, they are very comfortable and breathable which I loved.

Cons: they are so NOT squat proof. You can see straight through them even without squatting. Another con is that they are already pilling after one use. I haven’t even washed them yet. :(

Unfortunately, the things that are wrong with the leggings are what matters more to me (longevity -at least for more than one use - and not see through). Though these leggings are super comfortable and stretchy so A+ on the fabric choice.

2.0 out of 5 stars Weird leggings, not truly high waisted, lack compression
Reviewed in the United States on 15 June 2021
Colour: 5"-blackSize: LargeVerified Purchase
I don’t hate these but they’re definitely weird. They aren’t very high waisted for me (they hit basically right at my belly button and I ordered the high waisted 5” ones) and that means they’re awkward. They also don’t have great compression, in my opinion. I have other leggings that offer much better support and compression and those don’t hold themselves out to be as good as these claim to be. If you are looking for postpartum compression or just compression in general I would not recommend these. They are also a very odd material, they’re thick but cheap feeling and I can tell immediately that these will pill very fast and they likely won’t hold up well to even gentle washing. They are also too short for me. For reference I’m about 5’8” and a size 8/10 pre-pregnancy. I am about 3 weeks postpartum and I can wear my old jeans again so that is an accurate size. I normally wear a medium/medium tall in leggings and I got these in a large out of fear they would be see through or too short in a medium. Maybe if I got a medium they would be tighter but they are already really short and like I said the rise is mid rise at best on me, certainly not high rise.

My only guess is that I was sent the 3.5” instead of 5”?

Tl;dr these are weird, not high waisted and lack compression. They’re a hard pass for me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very very tight!
Reviewed in the United States on 10 September 2020
Colour: 5"-blackSize: LargeVerified Purchase
I'm a very small built woman. These are so snug I could barely get them on my skinny chicken legs...I was hoping the tummy control would be helpful for my post baby c section mommy tummy....nope. it is nice and snug and smoothing above the belly button....but that's not where you need tiny control. So if you are slim built, have a very toned mid section and very slim legs then these would be ok for you. However that doesn't help the 98% of us ladies who don't fall into that category! The fabric is also a bit ribbed which feels annoying.

Pro: they are black, and probably squat proof

Cons: wayyyy to small, odd feeling fabric, tummy control above the tummy not where you need it.

This product will not help women who are buying this product for the purpose of smoothing the mommy tummy. I know these are a compression garment but I have chicken legs and still struggled to get these on!

CAMEL TOE!!!!! NO GIRL FRIEND NO.. LOL. so besides the obvious, these were super high rise, very comfy, color was the perfect gray as image and the pattern on the legs I really enjoyed, they are thick, the waist band is perfect fit, doesnt feel to tinny but, the camel toe over sees everything and I have to return them. Although, I do have an auto immune diseases that attributes to my legs being constantly swollen I thought these moderate looking compression leggings would look good on but unfortunately I was wrong. Although, my legs are extremely swollen rn, I have never seen my crotch look this badh

2.0 out of 5 stars Second pair not quite as awesome...
Reviewed in the United States on 9 January 2020
Colour: 5"-tealSize: X-LargeVerified Purchase
I was so impressed with the first pair of black leggings that I purchased the teal as well. The first pair seemed slightly thicker and more squat-proof, with slightly more compression. The teal was amazing at first, but they seem to lose their shape more quickly during wear and after only 2 washes have begun to *literally* come apart at the seams.
Pros: the compression in both colors is superior to any other leggings I have tried, especially at the waist. The design is on point, I feel confident and covered overall. Some back support due to the extreme compression factor. An XL has amazing stretch to accomodate and fit my size 16-18 shape.
Cons: my postpartum belly is just a little bigger than the 5 inch band allows for, so I wish the tummy control had support all the way down the front. The Teal color is just not as durable it seems as the black fabric and kind of loses compression during the day. I live in Texas and really wish they made these in a capri length, since I have to roll them up into cuffed legs when I get hot (74 degrees in January here). They may not be great during hot summers without much breathability.
That said, I have 5 other running girl brand leggings and overall I love them. I am considering replacing the teal since the color is really so pretty, maybe it's just a fluke in the manufacturing process.

2.0 out of 5 stars I don’t care for them.
Reviewed in the United States on 11 May 2022
Colour: 5"-blackSize: X-LargeVerified Purchase
I don’t really care for these leggings. They fit a little weird on me, kind of cutting me off in the middle of my marshmallow tummy and the fabric isn’t smooth like I thought it was (the black color in the picture doesn’t translate the weird patterned texture). I wouldn’t want to exercise in these. And I don’t want to wear them in public.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not impressed.
Reviewed in the United States on 15 January 2021
Colour: 5"-blackSize: LargeVerified Purchase
I was expecting these leggings to be a little longer. They hit me right above the ankle (I’m 5’6” and my legs aren’t that long) I like my leggings to fit below the ankle. Also, I thought the leggings were going to be a solid black color with no extra stitching patterns/texture. I was sadly mistaken. I like plain basic leggings so I was a tad bummed. Also, they’re a little snug and not in a compression type way. I always buy a large in my leggings when I go to Ross or Marshall’s so I thought these would fit like a glove. I was wrong. I guess I need to stick to my OG stores.

2.0 out of 5 stars Order up two or three sizes!
Reviewed in the United States on 25 March 2021
Colour: 5"-tealSize: X-LargeVerified Purchase
I order a L or XL in all leggings. I was excited to get these because it’s a color I don’t have and I like the unique design down the legs. However, these XL are way way too small. I knew immediately upon opening them they were for a tiny person. I’m not huge by any stretch of the imagination my BMI is within normal range. But these leggings were tight, way too heavy and thick and really small. Unfortunately they have to go back.

2.0 out of 5 stars Rolls down
Reviewed in the United States on 6 January 2022
Colour: GreySize: LargeVerified Purchase
I bought this because I need compression and looked forward to the high waist to help me with my post-baby belly. I was really disappointed. The leggings did not stay up well and would not stay up snug but would be between my upper thighs making me hitch them up every so often. Also, the biggest disappointment was the fact that the "high waist" didn't matter because it would roll down to around my hips and would not stay over my belly. every time I'd hitch them up I'd also have to pull them back over my belly to where they were supposed to fit. The one good thing was that they're opaque so not see-through, but as that was not my primary reason for investing in these, I didn't care about that too much. I'm so frustrated.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not True Size
Reviewed in the United States on 18 May 2021
Colour: 5"-blackSize: LargeVerified Purchase
Size (L) Pull up to above waist? Nope. could barely pull up over my derriere. Passing them on to someone whose physical is more in tandem with leggings sizing. OK. Reordered size up (XL) and they don't fit either. These leggings are designed for the body of the model in the description. Not for endowed bodies. they are for women who run, exercise regularly, Zumba bodies; for those aerobics and Pilates instructors. I am going to return and reorder another size up (2XL). If 3rd pair don't fit I will return for refund. I would not recommend them to anyone.
