I need the comfiest black leggings....

That's all I want. Thick enough to not become see through and just really comfy so I barely need them. No thick waistbands.
Do they exist? In black!

Ooh following, me too!

I like these from Boden

They are very high waisted though (or maybe just on me because I'm short!) so depends if that bothers you.

Bunny2021 · 20/10/2021 20:54

Lululemon align. Comfiest things ever. I swear by them!

EdithGrantham · 20/10/2021 21:06

What's your reason for not wanting a wide waistband because if it's something you can compromise on these from Amazon are so so comfy. They are buttery soft, the size S-L fit me at a size 12 and nearly all the way through pregnancy without going see-through, and they wash well. The only downside is they seem to ride up at the ankles so may not be as good if you are particularly tall. tinyurl.com/y5zrht9u

Slim waist band in M&S and they're so comfy. They also do short, regular and long lengths in them all. I wash and tumble mine regularly and they're good as new.

"Blissfully" obvs.... are the amazon ones 'thick' or not too thick - as in, I get really hot (woman of a certain age)

HelloCanYouHearMe · 20/10/2021 21:24

I have a pair from uniqlo that i adore and would wear them to bed if i could (may have worn them to bed Blush )

Springhassprungagain · 20/10/2021 21:25

Fatface do some lovely ones

Rapanui rapanuiclothing.com/product/organic-cotton-leggings/

They do weirdly have Rapanui visible all round the waistband, but I always wear a longer top so it’s covered. They are very comfy and a good thickness

I have these and I love them.

I have these in various colours, the best leggings I’ve bought by far!

Wexone · 20/10/2021 22:26

love my spanx ones. they are called booty and my god hold everything in. also get a pair of tights cut the feet off them and wear them under your leggings. found it last year as work from home is cold. the tights keep you warm but don't look bulky underneath

EdithGrantham · 20/10/2021 22:28

@Mother87 they are thicker than the ones you'd usually find in supermarkets or M&S, which is a plus for me because it means they're not see-through in the slightest but I wouldn't say they're thick enough to cause overheating anymore than you might be suffering anyway

papooshka · 20/10/2021 22:29

I have the Boden ones too and they are lovely, really comfy and last for ages

LizzieMacQueen · 20/10/2021 22:41

I recommend the bamboo ones from thought clothing. They are soooooo comfortable. M&S high waist ones get a bit pinchy at the waist after a while.

mnahmnah · 20/10/2021 23:05

Having always been happy with leggings from M&S and Next, their quality has gone downhill. I decided to try H&M after recommendations in here and they’re fab! Nice quality, comfy, not see-through and cheaper that Boden!

LifesTooShortForYourNonsense · 29/10/2021 17:36

You could try looking for footless tights instead, the winter ones often no different to leggings, but stretchy

HellieOldie · 29/10/2021 18:38

My daughter and I like these from Tu:

Excellent quality for a tenner!

notoldjustpastyoung · 29/10/2021 18:42

Just to add to this message, I am looking for same in RED. Thank you

Bertiebiscuit · 29/10/2021 20:06

Uniqlo leggings are lovely, soft warm and very comfortable - and long lasting, they are the best imo

Pigwig10 · 29/10/2021 21:16

Fabletics powerhold leggings. High waist, comfortable, hold you in, squat proof, so not see-through. Perfect black leggings.

OddsNSodsBitsNBobs · 29/10/2021 21:33

I'd say primark are the comfiest but unfortunately as you know the most see through! Oh I wish they could make them nice and thick and good quality too !

I just brought these from pink soda and they are amazing. I stopped wearing leggings as i kept trying different ones and they where always digging in my stomach or see through... these are a game changer! Love them!

Rapanui rapanuiclothing.com/product/organic-cotton-leggings/

They do weirdly have Rapanui visible all round the waistband, but I always wear a longer top so it’s covered. They are very comfy and a good thickness

Second Rapanui - best leggings I’ve ever had for both comfort and not see through at all. Not too hot either - they’re the Goldilocks of just right leggings Smile mine have lasted well and not faded either.
