Leather look leggings/Jeans. So noisy!

I've treated myself to some faux leather leggings to wear on Christmas day. They are comfortable and I love them.
However they are so noisy! I'll drive myself mad sounding like a pair of windscreen wipers all day.
Is this just the price you have to pay for slinky looking legs?

Wait until you break wind, it slides up your back and out of the waistband !

Years ago, I had a coat like this

I couldn’t stand the noise of myself walking to the station. It got worn twice I think. Sorry.

Hmm maybe not the best choice for Christmas day then Grin

I'll just have to wait until I can go and stand very still in a bar 😭

GrinGrin great thread!

I've been walking behind someone and stifling giggles at the week-a-week-a-week-a. Hi Pure bracer than me.

Also, if you fart in a thong it sounds like you're whistling WinkGrin

I've returned mine!
They seemed really comfy and flattering but the noise they made just walking around in them while trying them on was enough to do my head in!
Anyone bought a quiet pair?

Janaih · 23/12/2020 12:51

Ohh this is not what I want to hear Grin

Can you return them? There’s loads of other ways to have slinky looking legs.

Janaih · 23/12/2020 13:03

I've already returned one pair and exchanged for a smaller size. I just cant bear to part with them. Luckily they were in the sale.
They can be a symbol of hope that I can one day go out out somewhere with loud music to muffle my swishing.

Good plan 🔊🥂

I am off immediately to google and find out more.

One of those reviews says body lotion stops the squeaking. Might be worth a look!

im5050 · 24/12/2020 06:07

I live in my Spanx
I find they really do make you look like you have dropped a dress size and hold you in everywhere
Expensive but bloody worth it

Dry shampoo apparently stops it . Doesn't bother me to be honest !

Janaih · 26/12/2020 17:10

Update: the swishing does get less noticeable with wear. This may be related to alcohol consumption. Further research required.
Its my birthday in January and I'm definitely getting some of the Spanx ones, they are beautiful.
