The buttery Amazon leggings!!

166 replies

dothehokeycokey · 02/03/2024 12:56

Just wanted to post as I caught a thread on here a few days ago about the best buttery leggings out there that aren't extortionate.

Lots of posters recommended the Amazon ones with a link.

Anyhow and as per usual when I see a recommendation here I duly logged on and bought a pair.

They were £8.50 Star

So they turned up yesterday and I remembered this morning so chucked them on after a shower and wow they are the most comfiest and best fitting leggings I've actually bought and I've bought many many pairs over the years ranging in price from £5 upto £75.

Wel see how well they wash and dry but so far so good

I definitely have them in navy. I was wearing them earlier.

MassiveOvaryaction · 02/03/2024 21:38

They do have navy but maybe not in your size @Unusualactualname - I was also wearing mine today.

You can also buy the navy ones in a three pack with black and grey (although the grey isn't a very nice colour)

Cruiser123 · 02/03/2024 22:18

Buy them!

I have several colours.

I'm 9 weeks post my 2nd C-section and I'm still 9 kg overweight.

They are very comfortable and they give me a beautiful shape, smoothing out my C-section belly.

I'm wearing the black version today, pics attached xx

@Cruiser123 what size do you have on ? I’m a tall size 18 and thinking probably that would be XXL but don’t want them baggy !

I've just checked the tag, it says L-XL

I'm 5'6 and I'm a size 16

If this is stealth marketing then it’s worked… Just ordered some 🙈

BigPussyEnergy · 02/03/2024 23:32

Another sheep here - just ordered some!! And have the ones with pockets in my basket once I know if I like these ones 😂

Same I'm 16-18 and not sure what size, I need some new ones for WFH

These ones. They also do a fleece lined version if you prefer. Toasty and thick. Not even a vpl shows through these bad boys.

These are better for warmer days

Expensive but so worth it from my experience. I've tried so many and wasted so much money.

L - XL will fit you.
(I'm size 22 and the XXL fit me)

The leggings are pretty long, too.

OhcantthInkofaname · 03/03/2024 02:04

I bought Campsnail ones because they seem to not pick up as much cat hair! And they have two pockets.

I'm desperate to know the answer to this question !

Isn't it obvious?

They're called buttery soft. It's simply that they feel soft. The buttery bit is just marketing. It's just saying "very soft indeed".

It's sad to see so many people who see butter as a negative connotation. I worry it's because of an unhealthy relationship with food and hope you are all ok!

Mine are Sinophant high waisted leggings in burgundy and navy. They’re lovely and soft, to be fair, but no strength to them whatsoever. I originally bought the burgundy pair to wear under a dress, as tights.

Whereas today I am wearing a pair of proper exercise leggings (15% elastane!) and I have to wrestle my way into them. But I look properly sculpted, even at a size 14. If I pull the waist away from my body they snap back with a proper ‘ping’, whereas my Sinophant leggings have no ‘ping’ at all.

(To any perverts who have got pleasure from that, I feel very sorry for you.)

@AnonyLonnymouse the ones you are talking about spund amazing. Can you share?

Ireolu · 03/03/2024 08:07

Mine arrive today. Its the number 1 item in fashion....I can see why.

mushroom3 · 03/03/2024 08:12

Thanks @Cruiser123 and @TheShellBeach

ohpumpkinseeds · 03/03/2024 08:24

I love these, I have been wearing since about 2020 after seeing them recommended on here I think. I wear a pair every day to WFH as they're very soft, and I like the fit, they can be a bit see through though and they do wear through on the thighs as I'm fat Grin

Frumpitydoo · 03/03/2024 08:41

Isn't "buttery" used for leather? Has it now been expanded to include nylon? I didn't know nylon could be buttery, can somebody please explain to a slowboat like me?

They are very soft and smooth. That's literally it.

Please can you provide the link OP? I don't want to get the wrong ones

Yes, I really hate this term for what is basically a crude oil-based product

bloom19 · 03/03/2024 10:19

Any good ones that are flared?

mushroom3 · 03/03/2024 11:22

I have ordered both XXL and L-XL as the combination of 34 inside leg and size 18 may mean the L-XL are too short. They are arriving tomorrow and I will post findings!

Shinyandnew1 · 03/03/2024 11:30

Have anyone’s leggings arrived today? What do you think? Any fabric photos??

AhBiscuits · 03/03/2024 11:37

Mine came yesterday. I'll go stick them on a sec and report back.

Whydoiwearsomuchleopardprint · 03/03/2024 12:06

I did exactly same, they are amazing quality and fit! Much better value than my lulu lemon ones which were ridiculously expensive!!
