Do they exist? I hate having to constantly pull my leggings up. I'd like them in black, navy and maybe also in brown/plum kind of colour? If they slim down my thighs that would be even better...

dexter73 · 08/08/2012 19:29

InspiredToBoot · 08/08/2012 19:34

There must be something less expensive....

Primark do a good version. They're made of material similar to Spanx and I find them really good - wash well and hold in the wobbly bits! They're about £4 a pair but I can't think what they're called. Think they have pink cardboard wrapper and they hang them from hooks!!!

these are my favourite ones - really thick and super stretchy

I have the ones from primark too and they are great. They're made of a sort of lycra style material.

InspiredToBoot · 08/08/2012 21:18

oh I really wish I lived anywhere near a Primark!

Sainsburys used to have some tummy and thigh slimming johdpurs (leggings with extra hip seam) in black in the Gok range, but I have not seen them back in stock yet. Mine stay up and fit well - but I am 5'2" so would perhaps not suit talls. More costly, the Roma fit Boden ones are reduced (clearance) in black, navy, soft grey and mid taupe.

Sainsburys 'luxury' leggings are nice. Thicker than usual ones, slightly higher waisted and hold you in a bit more.

Thank you all of your advice. I have ordered the ROMA black and navy ones from Boden. I managed to get free delivery so paid £35 for both which I'm very pleased about.

In my searches I also came across these ones from John Lewis which sound really good but I am a bit concerned about how shiny they probably are: www.johnlewis.com/241042/Product.aspx?SearchTerm=RecentlyViewedList

I thought I'd report back as my leggings have just arrived (amazing Boden!!). I ordered size 8. They fit like a glove. They hold me in, muffin top, wobbly knees and all. They feel smooth, thick and lovely. They're a tiny bit too long for me but I am short. If they don't keep sliding down as I walk, then I might have just found my perfect leggings! Grin Thank you ladies!

Great! I ordered a black pair too (already have grey from last season) and mine came by return. The grey pair stay up fine and wash well. Mine are also a little long but I am used to that.
