Sweaty Betty leggings

Hi
Im thinking of investing in a pair but the price is a hindrance!
The main attraction are the pockets so just wondering if it would fit an iPhone 11?
I'm a size 10-12 and also wondering what size to go for?

The pockets aren't big enough for a phone, more like a key really. I wear one of those phone straps on my arm.
I'm a size 10-12 and get a small.
They are honestly the best leggings out there. I have a pair that's really old and it has completely kept its shape.

I have three pairs of the power leggings - all hold a phone in the pocket comfortably even when I run. They are great, best I’ve ever bought. I’m a heavy 12 and I buy medium.

I can't fit a phone in mine, but they are 100% the best leggings you can buy.

They are very generous in the sizing though.

TacoFlavouredKisses · 12/04/2020 10:14

Yeah I can't fit my phone (Huawei P20 Pro) in the waistband pocket - I think some styles have longer pockets on the thigh though? I could be wrong.

I completely agree with others that they're the best leggings. I buy during their sales or nearly new from ebay, I've never paid full price for a pair.

KatoPotato · 12/04/2020 10:14

They are superb leggings! But yes the pocket is piddly

I have a few pairs of Victoria's Secret pink g leggings and an iPhone pro max fits in the leg pocket.

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 12/04/2020 10:17

I must have a different pair to the rest of you...I put my iPhone in mine and run and it’s not a problem Confused

I'm a 10/12 and a small is perfect. They really are the best.

Elephantscantfly · 12/04/2020 11:26

Thank you @oohnicevase just treated myself to some running shorts 😄

oohnicevase · 12/04/2020 11:46

You're welcome 😇

I’ve several pairs, some have the large pocket on the thigh which is absolutely big enough for an iPhone. Others just have the waist band pocket which would be fine for keys. It should say in the description. I think the quality is very good, and they’re really comfortable to run in.

What makes the the best leggings though? I've been holding off on buying them as they're so expensive for leggings so I can't justify it, but hoping someone will change my mind!

Blondiney · 12/04/2020 12:35

@AnPo. They make my arse look firm and round, hide all traces of cellulite and wobbliness. Pure vanity makes them worth every penny Grin

Karrimor are the leggings with pockets big enough for phones. Mine can fit my iphone 8 plus, keys, and a debit card - pockets stretch.

Sold Blondiney! Grin

mumno11 · 12/04/2020 13:22

Thanks for the messages. Will order a small and medium to try.

@DDIJ I prefer Wunder Unders for yoga/pilates and the Sweaty Betty power leggings for spin/HIIT. They are not really like for like. Power leggings are not downward dog proof although people will tell you they are.

damnthatanxiety · 12/04/2020 14:08

I find power are totally squat and downward dog proof. I don't think people are making it up 🙄. I think we just have different shaped arses.

I love the power leggings for Pilates, but prefer thick Ronhill running tights and shorts for winter dog walking before Pilates. I am wondering if I can justify an(other) pair of leggings.

jcurve · 12/04/2020 15:47

They’re not, I’ve been in the second and third row of enough yoga classes to see that! Sweaty Betty also states they’re not squat proof on their website.

stayathomewannabee · 12/04/2020 18:40

I've been through enough leggings - I do like SB ones but M&S good move range is amazing and they have leggings with mobile pockets - I've bought a cropped pair and a longer length and they are squat proof.
I run, spin, do yoga Pilates and weights and they are as good as SB ones.
