The greatest thing about ‘athleisure’ coming into style in the last few years has been the ability to wear your favourite leggings everywhere - not just the gym but to brunch, the supermarket, even to dinner with a long jacket and boots.
If you’re a big fan of your trusty leggings, you’re probably an equally large fan of your lint roller.
Unfortunately, the typically black spandex or polyester blends that leggings are made from attract dog hair like nothing else.

You’ll brush yourself off at home, only to find yourself picking up another second skin of hair in your car ride to lunch.
There’s another fatal flaw that befalls our beloved leggings - the skin-tight design can sometimes show off a bit too much of the curves you’d rather keep under wraps.
So, what we need is activewear that doesn’t act as a beacon to fur, making us feel sucked-in and snatched.
And, yep, we’ve found it.
Throw away your lint roller
Emamaco, the Aussie based activewear brand, has answered our prayers by causing a happy little accident.
Their initial mission was nothing more than to create super comfy, buttery soft leggings for everyone to enjoy.
They swatched hundreds of material types and ended up making their own custom fabric - Supaflex. Which just so happens to be magically fluff repellant.
The Supaflex has an incredibly high-grade smooth finish that repels pet fur - if your fluffy friend leans up against you, they won’t leave any fluff on your leggings.
If there is any, it will fall off with a simple swipe. Compare this to the hours you’ve spent lint rolling on previous pairs of tights!
As well as dog hair, they also work for cat fur, carpet fluff, and other debris.
Embrace your workout with confidence
If you’re new to the gym or just struggling with feeling like your fabulous self at the moment, there’s no harm in faking it until you make it.
We’ve all experimented with Spanx under a tight dress on a night out - why can’t our leggings do the same?
Emamaco has a Shapewear range specifically designed to suck you in and give you that extra boost of confidence.
Their thick compression waistband is ultra high-waisted and reinforced with 4-panels of mesh compression to leave you looking snatched, honey!
This design also helps to give you a bit more support around your tummy and back, so it’s great for post-partum gym bunnies.
