Sweaty Betty Power vs Ultra high waist power

[ShaunaSadeki]

Has anyone who usually wears Sweaty Betty power leggings for running and gym classes tried the ultra high waisted version? I ordered some in the sale not realising they don’t have a draw string waist until I tried them on.

Do they stay up as well as the usual power leggings? I hate it when they don’t stay up! My weight also fluctuates and I find the normal ones for me at a variety of sizes.

I have some power pro (think that’s the name) which are high waisted and no drawstring and they stay up fine, they have a smaller waist than other powers and can be a bit tight

They didn’t stay up for me and ended up being a waste of money.

However, I’m 5ft 2 so the top sat above the smallest part of my waist.

Thanks both! I did have to wriggle in to them @Ponks. I think I’ll try them on again in the morning and jump about a bit, but I think I might miss the drawstring and the zip up pocket at the back too much, so they might go back and be swapped for more Powers

I did have some but sold them on Vinted in the end as they rolled down on me and I missed the lack of drawstring and back pocket. I am a runner though so that might make a difference.

Yep they are going back, they just don’t feel practical enough for jogging. Which is a shame because they look really good on and I will probably also need to return the top I ordered to go with them as my usual Powers are not high waisted enough to stop me flashing a load of flesh
