Mumsnet Talk

I am finally bringing myself round to the idea of being able to wear leggings. Have been reluctant due to post-3-babies figure not ideal for anything with elasticated waist.
Where do you advise to get ones that keep their stretch (and ideally give me a flat tummy ...)?
thank you for help!

Mint Velvet. Amazing leggings with a panel at the top you can wear flat or fold over. Never need to hoik them up, nice thick cotton too. 20% off code atm too from Red magazine. You just use code RED

I have a pair I bought from Pineapple over 3 years ago, still lasting me really well

At the oxymoron shop.

Just bought perfectly passable pack of two, one navy, one black at Sainsburys. £12 I think.

I just bought some high waisted control ones from Next. I think they are amazing! I had a baby 11 months ago, and still have lots of bulges but these really smooth me out. I also bought the control vests, but dont think these are as good.

Select. Really cheap at 2 for £8 but much better than more expensive leggings I have had previously.

Thank you. Any high street suggestions?

although most of their website looks rather nice...

Next, Select, Sainsburys ...

I actually really like the primark ones £6 for 2 pairs-they last really well are a good length and not see through.

Boden ones fit well, wash well and are comfy.

American apparel are great, bit priceier than average but go the distance!

New Look usually have loads, variable quality but I've had some okay pairs from there.

M&S's current lot aren't too bad.

I haven't tried them personally but have been researching and American apparel get rave reviews. Sold on asos. I like the sound of the next tummy control ones though. Is the waist high?

sorry about earlier, think the page hadn't refreshed or something.
Lots of good places to try here, thank you all.
I am very keen indeed on not see-through.
I like the sound of Next ones.
Tethers I know what you mean but I think I really need to try...
I will be wearing with extremely long jumpers/dresses. Possibly under trousers this weather...

I find the next ones really see through, no matter what size. I got Boden ones. They are amazing.

I bought two pairs of black leggings for £10 in Sainsburys last week, and they are they are as good, if not better, than the ones I have from Next costing £8 a pair

i got mine from next £9 got a size bigger than normal - perfect

Tethers

I have Primark fleece lined leggings. highly recommended. They are really thick and black and did I mention, fleece lined?! AMAZING!

Nothing constructive to add but at Tethers

I am also sniggering at Tethers.

Though the idea of control leggings is very appealing.

Depends what type you want.

Topshop do fab long length stretchy ones in black or navy that wash well and last for ages.

I love Primark control leggings. They last ages (I have some that are 2 yrs old and still in good nick) and are more like thick footless tights.

I also like the thick leggings from H&M in black or grey. They are like a cross between leggings and treggings. hard to explain, but the material is heavier and warmer.
