So I was going in town yesterday needed leggings saw cheap Primark ones for £3 and as I couldn’t be bothered checking other brands I just bought them.

I’ve worn them today and now I’ve noticed a small hole in them, I can’t think how it happened apart from maybe brushing against something. I’m slightly peeved.

So AIBU for them to last more than a day or yes YABU it’s Primark £3 leggings?

For £3, what did you expect? 🤔

To last longer than a few hours really?!

Also, £3 is £3. I couldn’t be bothered looking elsewhere as it was hot. But yes I should’ve crawled down to better shops for better leggings.

Luckily I can afford better quality ones but suppose you’re on a budget, wouldn’t you be pissed off if you bought them and they got holes in them so soon?

I've poked my nail through Primark leggings putting them on for the first time. That's the quality. They're basically tights. They retail at £3 so how much do you think they make them for? What are you expecting for £3?

Washed once and went baggy. Wouldn't bother buying again.

I have leggings from Primark and the quality is exactly the same as any other shop. The worst ones I have were from John Lewis.

I find the fit and consistency of sizing in Primark variable, but the quality is generally good.

Why would you have to crawl?

With regard to the leggings, I think it's a case of you get what you pay for...

The earlier Primark stuff was reasonably good quality but not anymore I find. I don't shop there anymore. Waste of time and money.
