I've just started doing some classes at the gym and am having terrible trouble with my trousers, which rather classily keep sliding down my arse.

They are some m&s Capri style ones, fit very well - they feel a bit snug round my waist - but once we get going, they start sliding and I'm hitching them up constantly.

I thought initially it was my knickers as I was wearing a pair of satiny material ones, so tonight wore the big cotton pants, but exactly the same result.

No-one else seems to have this problem - what am i doing wrong? Or recommendations of stay up gym kit?

Grin i think that's a bit too much of a retro look for me!

You need a pair with a drawstring tie at the waist. I had a capri pair from Sweaty Betty I loved. Also helps to tuck in a layer underneath to add friction (I weear a vest under with a loose T-shirt over). I found I only had this problem once I started losing weight so well done!

Yes, drawstring at waist. I have some Nike ones from DS sports which are great and not too pricey.

I've added a draw string to my UnderArmour ones. Just threaded it through round the waist and made a small hole at the front.

They don't need a massive amount of hoiking, just enough to prevent slippage!
