Best buttery leggings

What do you recommend? These are just for lounging and nipping out and about for a walk with the kids. I am pretty active with 2 young boys, but don't need gym style/running leggings as I have plenty of those - these are more for comfort.

I have the lulu lemon align dupes from amazon and LOVE them, they are so comfy, but didn't last long - after a few months (and granted lots of washes) they are now pretty bally. Can't warrant spending the price on the actual lulu lemon ones, so what else do people recommend?

Glowmode from Shein here too, amazing quality for the price, so soft.

Seasalt leggings are great. Soft, various lengths, good range of sizes, comfy waistband, wear and wash well. A bit more expensive but last for ages.

Sinophant from Amazon are fantastic, at least a year in they are like new.

My Almighty leggings arrived last night, am wearing them now and can confirm they are super soft and comfortable :)

am a size 14 ish and the L-XL size fit well.

I hope they're following your pavement without any restrictions!

Mine have just arrived... omg my flabby bottom looks perfectly perky. About to order some more 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks a million for this thread - I never ever buy clothes from Amazon!!!!

Oldraver · 29/02/2024 18:21

Thank you for the reminder, I bought those ones and they are excellent

I have Sweaty Betty, Nike and Lulu’s and while they’re great the prices are ridiculous. This brand has much more sane pricing and OH MY GOD the leggings are the comfiest things ever. I’m not sure about ‘buttery’ as a complimentary adjective but they’re extremely soft. Won’t roll or bag or pinch.

I always just pick up any random leggings at a second hand shop.

Zoologydragon · 29/02/2024 22:02

Cheeky little magpie......the most comfortable leggings I've ever owned. They wash really well too - I've had 4 pairs on rotation since October and they still look great 🙂

I've ordered the Sinophant ones in L-XL. Just in black for now but did like the options to buy packs so if they fit I might do that. Thanks to those posters who answered my size question!

MyMonkeyBoy · 01/03/2024 15:46

Right so I ordered the Sinophant leggings again in a couple of colours to see if my previous pair was just a dodgy one. Unfortunately they are all the same, thin and quite see through (can see my black pants when I squat). I might keep one pair for lounging around the house, but I would not wear them out of the house with just a shirt/jumper.

I might try some others that were recommended here, but unfortunately I really do not rate the Sinophant ones. They are lovely and soft though and sit up nice and high, but like I said, very thin and see through.

NerdyBird · 01/03/2024 18:19

Got my Sinophant leggings today - they are soft and the size was fine! Mine don't seem to be see through at all, but then they are black and I had black knickers on!

That's very odd - I've had 10+ pairs over the years and none of them have ever been even remotely see-through.

I’m returning the pair I got too, not remotely squat proof for me!

I have two pairs of the Sinophant leggings and on each pair one leg is shorter than the other by about an inch!

are you anywhere near the Suffolk Coast OP? If so, I know somewhere you can buy Sweaty Betty leggings for under £10. Sadly they rarely have any in a big enough size to fit my fat arse but they've always got ones if you're a size 8 or 10.

Oh please share!

These, so soft I've got them in 4 different colours. Cheap as chips and best leggings ever

@Aviee on your recommendation I bought some of these and I am really impressed. They are fantastic quality and fit for hardly any cost at all
thank you!

Skintdancemum · 08/03/2024 11:15

So my amazon leggings came and I love them!! So soft and good quality!

DebDonkee · 12/03/2024 18:12

Another one who's super-impressed with the Sinophant leggings that arrived today. They're fantastic!
