Gym leggings that hide cellulite?

Bloodycats · 17/07/2019 12:02

I like wearing leggings to exercise in but am very conscious of wobbly bits showing through!
Are there any gym leggings that totally disguise all that and make you look like a goddess?!

In my experience no!!!!

However ive got some Adidas ones, black of course, they werent the cheapest but fit well so they do feel quite supportive.

I found cheaper leggings were either see through or had flimsy fabic if that makes sense!

Bloodycats · 17/07/2019 12:16

I don’t mind spending a bit more but want to know it’ll look better than the cheaper leggings if I am. Will have a look at Adidas.

I tried on quite a few, some Nikes ones I tried were so tight in the thigh thought Id cut the circulation off!!!

Ignore the sizes to, i think they just make them up 😂

Gsp ones are pretty good. You need thickish ones. Not too tight.

FlorenceLyons · 17/07/2019 19:54

Sweaty Betty leggings are pretty miraculous imo! Expensive, but they have good sales.

Agree with the above that Sweaty Betty are good for this. Expensive but worth it..

MoltonSilver · 17/07/2019 23:59

Lululemon, in darker colours.

I always buy patterned leggings as I think they don't show any lumps and bumps as much as plain colours.
You can get subtle patterned leggings, I have some black on black with a animal pattern as well as some more loud ones.

Back 3/4 exercise ones from next. Theres 2 pairs look for ones with highest rating. They have a zip at the back.

Phillipa12 · 18/07/2019 06:09

Sweaty betty are miraculous, they also come up pretty high so hold in a tummy nicely!

Singleandproud · 18/07/2019 06:25

Eat a tablespoon of flaxseed a day (mixed with yogurt / smoothie) and it boosts your collagen and completely gets rid of the appearance of cellulite within a week, it’ll come back if you stop eating it but it is like witchcraft for £1.80 a bag. Boosting collagen also smooths out wrinkles too!

Not an answer to your question but it really is brilliant.

DirtyNell · 18/07/2019 06:30

Flaxseed??? Really???
Nike running tights, from their more expensive range, offer incredible support to wobbly cellulite thighs- I paid £80, and they’re a miracle!

MichelleC69 · 18/07/2019 06:34

I like Under Armour ones - quite thick and high waisted. Not too expensive either.

Singleandproud · 18/07/2019 06:40

Yes, DirtyNeil Ive always had horrible cellulite and it completes gets rid of the appearance of it, really amazing - stop taking it for a couple of days and it’ll come back though.

isabella1991 · 18/07/2019 07:10

@Singleandproud wow I am going to try this 🤡

I've had good luck with Reebok leggings, good support

sar302 · 18/07/2019 08:31

Sweaty Betty leggings make me look about two stone lighter!! Amazing things.

caffeinebuzz · 18/07/2019 08:33

Sweaty Betty leggings are amazing. Expensive but worth every penny and they do good sales.

Talisin · 18/07/2019 15:13

Interested in the flaxseed revelation! Does it need to be the milled/ground stuff or just the seeds, @Singleandproud ?

Singleandproud · 18/07/2019 16:47

I use the ground seed as its easier to sprinkle over yogurt. I think I read that the seeds are harder for us to digest. this article on it is quite interesting.

merlotqueen · 18/07/2019 16:50

USA Pro leggings make my thunder thighs look quite svelte.

SushiTime · 18/07/2019 17:18

SB leggings are genius, I have some shiny black ones and they make me look so not like me Grin

Another vote for SB - amazing bargains in the current sale. I’m slim with a flat arse, but they somehow give me a lovely shape. I feel glam wearing them.

Sweaty Betty power leggings, nothing shows through.
