Sports leggings for larger lady!

I've started going to a gym and some classes. Circuits and Pilates and run on treadmill. My sports leggings are crap - fat bulge over the waistband, they fall down when we do things like skipping or burpees, cheap and nasty.

I want to invest in a set or two if quality gear that looks good (as far as possible on flabby size 16/18)
Do makes like Lulu lemon or sweaty Betty or similar makes clothes for fat girls?
Can anyone recommend?

I'm a 16/18 and wear XL in sweaty Betty power if that helps
Otherwise I wear sturdy by design in 2XL

I absolutely love and rate Lucy Locket Loves leggings. Lots of sizes and prints, they wash and wear well and most importantly (for me) don't fall down when I'm doing cardio!

Sturdy By Design - 👍🏻

There is a Facebook page with pre loved items that people sell too if you don't want to pay full price.

I'm a size 22 and find adidas comfy for me

I’m an 18 and have a couple of pairs of these. They’re fairly ‘budget’ but thick, high waisted and squat proof, so they are sturdy enough for my wobbly bits to stay in place.
