Leggings

[SamNotSammy]

Advice from the ladies please. I wear Nike leggings when I do my run but I think they are a tiny bit tight and are giving me tummy ache. I do have the next size up but my fat belly pushes them down when I run so I’m forever pulling them up!!! Can anybody recommend some other leggings?

[Lovescornwall Graduate]

Hi I just wear Asda own active wear they stay up

[Frenc Graduate]

A high waisted style helps, Fabletics have a good choice. 😊🏃‍♀️😊🏃‍♀️😊

[Mumpark Graduate]

If you want lovely leggings it’s got to be Tikiboo expensive but lovely I have been bought a couple of pairs as gifts from my daughters

[Jools2020 Graduate]

I have some high waisted leggings from Decathlon, but I can’t run in leggings at the moment as it’s too warm! High waisted Lycra shorts from Amazon seem to stay up just fine.

[SamNotSammy in reply to Jools2020]

Christ I wouldnt dare where shorts at my size. I will check out decathlon though 👍🏻

[Yesletsgo Graduate in reply to SamNotSammy]

I've got Decathlon leggings and some Capri pants. Very comfortable, pockets, cheap so I'm very happy with them. Unlike their built in bra running vest which you'd need to be an athlete or a rocket scientist to work out how to put it on lol

rainbow and sprinkles are fab!! love them, feel great and some amazing designs. rainbowsandsprinkles.co.uk/

[Jell6 Graduate]

Sturdy by Design, also I size up, I'm medium but buy large. Love them but they are addictive!

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

I’ve suffered from the same problem and put it down to being an “unstandard” shape! I bought a couple of pairs from Contra (with a backward N) ,which have a tie cord and this seems to have solved the problem. I’m struggling to copy the link but you can get to it through the parkrun site . Good luck!

[totalbeginner Graduate]

seagul leggings

[SamNotSammy in reply to totalbeginner]

I will check out the website again. Thank you 👍🏻

[SamNotSammy in reply to totalbeginner]

I like the look of the grey leopard. Are they high waisted? Above the belly button?

[totalbeginner Graduate]

the ones I have are probably around the belly button. the photos are pretty good. if you are unsure about the fit email them, they have great customer service and I emailed about the children's sizes and they got back to me really quick. the fabric is really soft the website describes as buttery soft and they really are . here are my rainbows

rainbow leggings

[UnfitFi Graduate in reply to totalbeginner]

I love those, will definitely have a look🙂

[Voldatort Graduate]

I've found Matalan pretty good for staying up (was size 20, now size 16)

[FairyTales Graduate]

Try Baleaf ... these are sold on Amazon.

[JetsNanna Graduate]

I recently bought some shorts from Amazon and the brand is Joyspels. They do leggings as well as shorts. True to size and lovely soft but supportive fabric. I’d recommend them. amazon.co.uk/dp/B07VH31JLW/...

[Wantstobearunner]

Love Leggings are really good x

[Angielou]

I got hot wearing leggings so bought a pair of capri leggings from sportdirect. Great support stay up with cord waist adjustment only 11.99. If I had a gribe there is no side pocket for phone.

[Jigglyjiggly_puff]

M&S have great leggings for £25 with a phone pocket on the leg and zip pocket for keys on the lower back area!

[macwacma Graduate in reply to Jigglyjiggly_puff]

I wear these too! in all 3 colours. love that they have a drawstring in case I ever lose weight!

[CharliesMum11 Graduate]

Lucy Locket Loves are great.

[Anasta Graduate]

My fav plain black are from George at asda ( the mesh calf ones ) and for patterns it’s Tikiboo - neither budge when running and I have a c section belly 🤣🤣

[macwacma Graduate]

I like Born Nouli leggings - they have a good sized pocket on each leg, and the 7/8 length is the perfect full length for my 5ft 2" height

[Beach_runner Graduate]

I always wear BAM leggings. If you wait until they have a sale on the prices are a bit more sensible. The best thing about them is the fabric, it's so soft and breathable. I would never go back to man made fabrics again. They do loads of high waisted leggings and I've never had a problem with them staying up.

[DylanTheRabbit Graduate]

I really like my apexgray leggings. Very good quality for the price from a small "ethical" UK company. I'm fairly thin, but I'm sure they could advise you on fit.

In warm weather I prefer wearing loose very thin jogging bottoms, I have some I bought from H&M years ago.

[Gilly0410 Graduate]

Hi Sam. I wear Ronhill because if you get the right ones they have a phone pocket in the leg as well as the zip at the back for keys. I couldn’t get on with an arm band. I find them really comfortable. I have some thin ones and thicker ones for winter. Purchased from Wiggle. Good luck with your search.

[BoobzMcGee Graduate in reply to Gilly0410]

I love my Sweaty Betty high waisted 3/4 leggings. They also have a couple of pockets, one of which I use for my phone, and they still stay up. Plus very comfortable to run in.

[SamNotSammy in reply to BoobzMcGee]

Thanks. I only going off your name but have you got any recommendations for sports bras too?

[BoobzMcGee Graduate in reply to SamNotSammy]

Lol. I favour my Freya sports bras. I’m an F cup and I find them supportive and comfortable to run in. Slight bounce, but I can live with that. I think the style number is AA4891STEXx

[SamNotSammy in reply to BoobzMcGee]

Thanks I’m the same cup size so will have a look. Currently wearing a ms one but I think it might be a touch small.

[Oldrockchick]

I’d agree with decathlon suggestion. Useful pockets and drawstring

[KayBee1000 Graduate]

Bit late to the party, but I have a couple of pairs of these leggings from Amazon: amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00...

They’re compression leggings, which gently hold everything in place (I found my bum was hurting when I ran from the bouncing up and down!). I’m a size 16 and bought L. On the model they’re below belly button, but they come above mine, and I have a sizeable ‘pouch’ on my abdomen 🤣

Lots of really good reviews - they stay in place, wash well and are comfy.
