Plus size exercise wear?

Anyone found any that they're happy with? All the bottoms I have the waistbands roll down & feel uncomfortable. Don't like the feel of really tight stuff either. I've bought too much from supermarkets etc that I don't enjoy wearing...

I'm a size 18 Apple with massive boobs. Grin

Sturdy by design leggings - better than any others by far.
Shock absorber bra (high impact)

Also ranges by Sainsbury’s & matalan ive found to be ok

Leggings with a drawstring will be your saviour!

I wear size 18 matalan leggings and they are great at staying up. I get tops from curvissa as I need a bigger size to fit my boobs in (36GG)

H&M sportswear is a bit better than the usual high street stuff.

I'm not plus size so can't vouch for it, but I always think the Nike stuff looks amongst the best: store.nike.com/gb/en_gb/pw/womens-plus-sizes/7ptZrd8?ipp=75

Oh, but just seen you are size 18 so not plus size. I think L or XL in Nike.

Nike L is a 14-16 and XL is a 16-18. Size 18 needs a 1XL really unless you want it to be really skintight. Nike claim 1XL fits size 20-22 but in my experience that's rubbish. Their sizing comes up a little small, especially in the bigger sizes. Or maybe it just isn't flattering having all your fat rolls squished up on display and it feels bloody uncomfortable. I write this as someone who has moved down through exercise from Nike's 1XL to L over the past 6 months or so. When I (re)started exercising as a size 18-20, I bought online from Nike and it was soul destroying that I was too fat for their size XL. It really didn't help!

Nike's clothes are great quality though.
