Leggings that fit properly for plus size

Hi

I'm looking for some leggings that might fit my size 24 body! I have a large tummy but smaller legs and ankles so every pair I buy that fit on the tummy are baggy on the back of the knee and ankles. I prefer high waisted, soft material that isn't Lycra or similar because I get too hot. Any gems that people with a similar body type love? I got some ribbed ones from Asda that I've worn to death but I can't find them any more!
Thanks!

Hey, I’m the same as you size 24 with a larger stomach and smaller legs. These are leggings I buy in the XXL. They’re super soft and not see through.

I think part of the issue will be the material you prefer - if you're bigger at the belly (I am too!) and my legs are a bit slimmer, if it's not got some sort of Lycra style material in there isn't the stretch needed to fit around both areas. Personally I love the Love Leggings ones, never flappy around my ankles / legs and fit super well around the tummy. It's the ultimate high waisted seamless that I get and they're fab, super soft but they are a polyester / elastane blend.

I buy Boden ones but they do only go up to a 22. Have always found them very comfortable and have lived in them for years.

Thanks so much, I will look into all of these!

The Amazon ones posted up thread are the best leggings I've ever bought.
