What's the consensus on these? Am thinkimg of buying some, are comfy/non droopy/opaque on the bum?

I saw the wrapover ones which seem nice

Thanks!

I have some and whilst I do like them (they're not see-through and quite thick) I just don't love the fabric, it's super clingy and not very soft... much prefer my Lululemons

Work2live · 29/01/2024 12:13

I bought some after seeing a lot of hype about them. I wasn’t keen. I’m a size 10-12 with a small waist, ordered a medium and they were tiny. The waistband dug in so much and kept rolling down. They also didn’t pass the squat test for me!

Another vote for Lululemon, either Wundertrain or Aligns depending on what you’re using them for.

I have four pairs and love them. Not at all see through and very flattering. Admittedly I've never tried the lululemons but I used to live in the sweaty betty power leggings and these are half the price and much nicer. I wear size Large and I'm a 12. Perfect length for me (5ft 7")

Lemonademoney · 30/01/2024 21:14

Love mine! And they wash and wear well. I’m a small ten and the small fits perfectly (and sucks my mum tum in)

Isthatarealname · 31/01/2024 11:00

I love mine, find them buttery soft, squat proof etc. Only thing I would say is they aren't particularly warm

upmysleeve · 31/01/2024 16:04

I ordered some but wasn't keen and sent them back. Okay fabric, but thin and the knees were baggy on first wear, which is not a good look for leggings IMO!!

Onelittleone216 · 31/01/2024 16:15

Another one who ordered some and didn’t like them! The fabric isn’t that soft. My favourite leggings are the super luxe ones from fabletics! Sign up to get all the money off and then unsubscribe after. They’re really soft, fit well, wash well and aren’t see through. I have sweaty bettys but don’t like them as much as my fabletics ones!

whirlyhead · 31/01/2024 16:17

I bought some and hated them and sent them back - the material was horrid, no give in it. I’m sticking with sweaty Betty and lululemon leggings in future. And adidas which are a lot cheaper!

SKG231 · 31/01/2024 16:25

Adanola has terrible customer service (just look at the comments on every post on their Instagram account)

they are continuously out of stock with a lot of things.

Their jumpers and sweatpants are terrible quality and shrink in the wash and become rock hard!

I also have socks from them that I’ve only had a few months and they have holes in already.

GinJarRogers · 31/01/2024 17:48

I train a lot and really like their stuff. I have also returned some things and have never had problems with their customer service. I’m a 10-12 and a medium in the leggings is fine, at 5’8 the regular length are a bit short on me but the longer ones always seem to be out of stock. Definitely not as soft as Lululemon but I don’t mind that.
The only thing I’ve got from Adanola that I don’t like are the socks which are really bad quality. I’ve never had any problems after washing but I don’t use a tumble dryer.

2ndMrsdeWinter · 31/01/2024 17:51

Used to be really good quality and great customer service a few years ago. Sadly, they became all instagrammy and gained a huge following, meaning the quality went downhill and the customer service is dire. I much prefer Lululemon and Fableticw, as people up thread have said.

JanewaysBun · 01/02/2024 20:59

Thank you all! Useful to hear. Im a bit scared to buy lululemon in case i hate them seeing as they are ££. I usually wear myprotein ones but wanted to try something new. Im a 6/8 and medium height (5'5). Might try fabletics

Used mostly for mum life, i go to the gym nowhere near enough lol

I had lulelemon and they are crap, the waist just slides down all the time. The best I've found are Nike, Adidas and Sainsburys Tu. not tried Adanola tbf.

MaloneMeadow · 02/02/2024 13:22

Really not a fan - I genuinely thought they were an Aldi or Decathlon knockoff brand at first. They just look so cheap to me

Under Armour & Nike are the best for me, and they’re not massively expensive. I’ve tried Lululemon & Sweaty Betty and in all honesty for the price I wasn’t overly impressed. If I’m paying £100 for leggings I’m expecting miracles!

JanewaysBun · 03/02/2024 17:49

Thank you!

Lulu lemon are worth the money. But maybe look on Vinted. You can get new Lulu lemon with tags on for about half the price!

JanewaysBun · 03/02/2024 17:54

Ah ok thx, will have a look on vinted

Littlemisssunseeker · 03/02/2024 19:33

I have about 5 pairs and I love them! Worn mainly for gym and they are soon comfy and flattering. Personally I much prefer them to lululemon and under armour although not as good as sweaty betty. They are really soft and although lightweight somehow also very flattering- think it must be the high waist and the seams. My only complaint is they are quite thin so can see underwear lines if don't choose carefully. I think/hope they are squat proof though!

Grapewrath · 04/02/2024 14:03

I find Adanola are big sizes tbh so I’d size down. I’m a size 8-10 and my leggings in S gape.
The quality isn’t great tbh I have a couple of pairs and the seam frayed on one and the stitching came away on the other. Customer service is crap too.
I much prefer gym shark

mrssunshinexxx · 04/02/2024 14:44

Go for sweaty Betty instead

JanewaysBun · 05/02/2024 21:20

Ive ordered some lululemons off vinted! Will update when they come
