Plus size gym leggings

Hi all,
I've started on a fitness journey and need some non see through leggings that stay up while working out. I've got a pair of adidas tights that I love but I need more than one pair. Please can I have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Llama Leisure leggings are fab, get the ones with pockets. They're so soft and comfortable. I also love the patterns!

What size are you after?

Tikiboo are squatproof (but most designs are very bright) - fir is good, have good pockets and drawstrings - up to 2XL (waist 38-40, dress size 20/22)

If that's not big enough then try

Contra Movement are a brand linked to parkrun, I've only had tops from them but the leggings look good and squatproof - up to 5XL (waist 42/46, dress size 24/26)

@AuntieStella after size 18/20, although hopefully smaller soon. I'll have a look at both places, thank you Smile

I actually like some of Tesco things tbh, really well priced too!

Be Your Happy Place leggings are excellent - they have a really high waistband so you feel a bit more secure (if you're like me and your belly is a bit wobbly). The activewear ones are the ones you want for the gym. I'm a 16/18 and wear the XL size comfortably.

They are largely very bright patterns though!

Also Lucy Locket Loves does excellent leggings. The waistband on those isn't quite as high (which is why I prefer Happy Place ones) but the quality on the leggings is brilliant and there's often sales/deals on out of season stock.

Depending on your budget, Matalan and Sainsburys are both pretty good, imo.
