Can anyone recommend thicker cotton leggings suitable for squats and exercise?

I really get the ick from thick spandex/polyester leggings, I always feel like I am getting thrush plus they just make me feel like I am encased in material and I feel claustrophobic!

I like cotton leggings but they are often really thin. Can anyone recommend any brands?

I would be squatting in these so they do need to stand up to squats to some degree!

I can totally relate to this!

I got some of these from Asquith about 3 years ago and they are perfect. Asquith have since gone out of business and been bought up by someone else. I havn’t bought anything from them since they changed hands, so I don’t know if they are still the same excellent quality.

Iuga thermal leggings from Amazon. I saw them recommended on here and have several pairs now.
I hate the nylon sweaty feeling I get from normal leggings.
Although they're thermal they're fine for warmer weather as they don't have that sweaty feel.
Definitely squat proof!
