AIBU to ask for suggestions for running leggings?

[EZA15]

Sorry for putting this in AIBU but when I wanted advice for sports bras you all came through. I should also apologise for calling them running leggings but I can’t remember their proper name. I’ve got one pair and at the moment I’m using and washing but I need a new pair. Every pair I seem to get falls down when I’m running.

I would get a new pair from the site I bought the first pair but I don’t like any of their new styles!

I absolutely love the Zero Gravity leggings from Sweaty Betty. Bit pricey but they’re often on sale (including at the moment I believe!)

Yes to Sweaty Betty zero gravity. They’re tons better than any of Lululemons I’ve tried and an added perk is that they really do make your bottom look fantastic. I haven’t tested it personally but a good friend reckons they even stand up to marathon running.

Lucy locket loves are wonderful

I got ones from Nike and they are fab, trained and ran a marathon in them and there was no rubbing. I should add that I’m quite short and they fitted well.

Tikiboo’s are fantastic if you like a bit of novelty

I like sugar pocket. Cheap a cheerful, wide variety of designs.

All leggings seem to fall down and or feel restrictive on me too, it’s shorts for running here! If it’s cold I wear gloves!

My favourites are tikiboos and under armour.

Sturdy by Design. There's 20% off with the code BOXING today too.

Slight derail here, but what’s the sizing like for Sweaty Betty? TTS? Long? Short?

Tikiboo or sturdy by design, both fab. I have a small bum and thick waist so have major issues with leggings that fall down. Both of these stay up brilliantly.

My favourites are still my cheapo pair from Decathlon. I only do up to 10k and am peat shaped which may make a difference.

I recommend Under Armour or Nike.
The drawstring is the essential bit to prevent them slipping down.

Ronhill or Inov8s are the best for "proper" running IME. But I also have some decent ones from Decathlon for shorter runs.

I really like h&m's winter ones. Cheap and cheerful and does the job.

@Areyoufree I'm 5' 4 and I have to roll normal length sweaty Betty's up an inch or two or they are baggy round my ankles so I find the 7/8 length better. Same with LuluLemons.

I also recommend LucyLocketLoves and Tikiboo. They are only ones that will stay up around my fat arse! Plus the designs are fab and the fabric so soft. Got a bonus unicorn pen sent with some LLL ones once too

Zero Gravity by Sweaty Betty, sale on at the moment. There’s a lot of give in them so don’t size up, they do 7/8 lengths too if you are vertically challenged.

@RiojaHaze Perfect - thank you! I’m a similar height, so shall follow suit!

It's not about the brand it's the style for your body shape (FYI they're called running tights).
Either get them a size up and pull them above your belly button, or do what I do and get ones with a drawstring. Then you can tighten them and they won't slip down.

Thank you everyone! There seems to be a couple of clear winners.

AliceAbsolum I did know, honestly - for some reason I just couldn’t think of it in the moment I posted the thread!

I love my Decathlon ones (“run warm”). But they are cheap so you may be looking for something more fancy.

Decathlon ones here too, the drawstring is great for making sure they stay in place!

I really like the fit and feel of running bare

I love my Decathlon ones too
