Gym leggings that are squatproof, can deal with sweat and most importantly, hide a tummy

[DontRecogniseMyself]

As the title says.

I’m a size 10 but apple shaped with a tummy. Can anyone recommend anything under about £30 that are dry fit and flatter my tum? Am wondering whether I need to go for high waisted? My current low waisted ones are functional but don’t seem to be doing me any favours.

M&S do some fantastic sportswear. The full length leggings are fantastic: cheap, thick but not too hot, wash really well.

I think mine were about £15.

jogging bottoms are squat proof.

RBK brand in TK Maxx - they have a thick band tummy panel which helps with fit and support and are dri-fit

Watching with interest

Ooh I’ll investigate M&S thanks. Branleuse, true but was looking for leggings as they are smarter and I think it’s easier for a PT to see when you are doing things wrong in leggings.

[DontRecogniseMyself]

Thanks KBear, I’ll have a look there. Tummy panel sounds just the thing!

I got some black sports leggings from M&S last week that promise not to be at all see through. They don’t appear to be. They are dry fit and high waisted and very flattering on the stomach.

Sturdy by Design

Can't rate them enough.
Nice thick high waist band that actually stays in place.

Awesome patterns. And always some good discounts on

I got these ones.

They’ve got a pocket in the back too.

Re long tops - I layer a Next long line black vest top under a t-shirt or gym top - they come down to mid thigh level so no skin on show - you can raise your arms, lift stuff, and your midriff remains covered

vest

[DontRecogniseMyself]

Great, thanks all.

Redacted, I have also struggled with tops. I eventually found some Nike t shirt tops which don’t cling too much and end low enough but they still cling a bit and are really not nice looking at all. I’vr Given up and gone for double layer stuff (M&S have some nice ones) and or sleeveless ones.

Sweaty Betty is fab. I have a couple of their tops which I bought in the sale but even in the sale their leggings are too much.

when you wear it you can scrunch it up so it's not long like a dress, you can sort of wear it to hip level - supposed to be tighter than on this model, like a second skin, then a baggy top over, (a shorter one)

M and s have some new blackout leggings - picked up a pair today - they seem like they'll do the job.

[TwiceMagic]

I’ve got a next longline top (because I have need for an all white outfit involving dry-fit running tights and that definitely requires extra layers on your arse). The sizing is totally massive though. I had to buy a 6 and it’s still not that tight. The 10 was huge.

[TwiceMagic]

The M&S blackout leggings aren’t thick like s wetsuit either (despite what one of the reviews claims). I didn’t think the sizing was small either. I’m usually a 10 but needed to buy the 8. Maybe they’re small by M&S standards (I only buy pants, socks and gym stuff in there so I don’t know).

[JellyTeapot]

Sturdy by Design are fantastic, also quite like Tikiboo but they're not quite as thick.

[DontRecogniseMyself]

Re. tops, I have been wearing just a normal vest top underneath a sports top but have been getting so hit and sweaty. Hoping some of the new stuff I got for Christmas is better.

Thanks again for leggings suggestions, I have a few to look at now.

I love my next leggings and they hold my tummy in. I'm the same size 10 with a tummy. Not sure if they're dri fit though

[DontRecogniseMyself]

Thanks mrs. I’ll have a look at Next. I really need dri fit or I will be a pool of sweat.

Totally agree Redacted. I have found even looking in a 10 that what is available is mostly either skin tight or far too baggy and almost all of it flashes your tummy when you lift up your arms or dare to move anything. Why on Earth I can’t find a top with patterns to disguise any bulges which is long enough and has short sleeves is beyond me. I am actually short so how anyone taller gets on I do not know!

[sushisuperstar]

Try the sweaty Betty sale - sometimes you can get a bargain and the stuff is very good
