Plus size leggings

Looking to replace a few basics. Need some new everyday leggings to wear with longer tops etc.
I’m size 18/20 and find I always get holes where my thighs rub.

Can anyone suggest any brands that hold up to a bit of chub rub? 🙈 don’t mind paying for quality!

Llama leisure

They are 'exercise' leggings - super stretchy, super holdy-inny Grin

Amazing styles and colours

Small business, last pair I bought was £17!

As they're so stretchy they only come in 2 sizes 8-14, and 16-22 - they are very likely to fit - I've got the 8-14 and they are comfortably tight and I'm a generous 14

@LaurieFairyCake Thanks 👍🏻 So you have the plain black? With them being exercise leggings are they shiny?

I have 2 pairs, one with bubbles and ones with really bright swirls

The material to me and the double thickness of it in the waist is the same as one particular pair of Sweaty Betty ones from their technical range (which are £75 !)

Truthfully I've never had any problems with primark leggings

@LaurieFairyCake Thanks 😊

@trunumber I haven’t bought primark ones for a good few years actually! Have been avoiding the place like the plague since everything opened back up again 🤣

Yeah me too! The queue to get in is still massive

Sainsburys. Im plus size, have thigh rub and most of sainsburys leggings are years old and still look like new.

I like thought clothing's bamboo leggings. You might be lucky and find some in stock. But do seek out the bamboo ones, their general cotton ones are not so supportive (IMO).

@starfishmummy Completely forgot about Sainsbury’s!! I bought theirs all the time before then they never seemed to be in stock!! Off to see if I can order some now 👍🏻😊

@LizzieMacQueen Never heard of those! I’ll check then out, thanks 😊

@KM38 i just got some cropped ones today bt not much choice in my store at the moment Sad

KM38 · 09/06/2021 14:10

@starfishmummy Yeah I remember that’s why I ended up looking elsewhere because my local stores only ever seem to have navy and grey in stock, never black! They’ve got some online though so just going to do a little order 😊
