These bestselling tummy-control leggings are down to $22: 'They do not roll'
Nearly 38,000 shoppers say these high-waisted yoga pants with pockets are the total package: 'I actually feel confident in these.'
If anyone has ever told you that you need only one pair of leggings, just know that they're wrong and don't have your best interests at heart — you can never have too many leggings. Why? For starters, they're so much more comfortable than jeans and easy to dress up or down. Plus, they're the only "pants" in your wardrobe that work for the gym and the farmer's market. Of course, not all leggings are the same, so when you find a durable pair that fits well at the right price, it's time to stock up. One such pair: The Gym People High Waist Tummy Control Yoga Pants, an Amazon bestseller — and they've got pockets!
Will 2024 finally be the year we overthrow "hard pants" and nonelastic waistbands? C'mon, do your part: Buy more leggings.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
Tens of thousands of fans share their love for these full-length leggings, so they're a great bet for your activewear wardrobe. They're a super-reasonable $22 — a steal compared with premium yoga pants from big brands like Lululemon, which can run upwards of $98 a pair.
Why do I need this? 🤔
If you're picky about yoga pants, these leggings are true crowd-pleasers. The high, wide waistband is the feature we're all looking for — it keeps that tummy tamed even on our worst days. Another must-have feature? Pockets! When your leggings have pockets, you may never want to wear jeans again.
These yoga pants are also made with a thick, durable blend of polyester and spandex. That means you can count on them for ample support and coverage, whether you're exercising or headed out for some errands. If you plan to use them as dedicated workout pants, expect unrestricted movement thanks to four-way stretch. But don't worry: Even with all that stretch, they'll still give you plenty of compression to help maintain your shape.
What reviewers say 💬
With nearly 38,000 five-star ratings, these stretchy pants have earned raves from a pretty big slice of Amazon's legging-loving buyers. One of their favorite features? The tummy-taming effect.
Pros 👍
"I am skeptical of the tummy control on leggings because people say they don't roll, but they always do for me," a five-star fan wrote. "Enter these leggings. I bought another pair because not only are they so comfortable, but they do not roll! What? Literally not at all. As someone with some love handles and a tummy, I actually feel comfortable and confident in these. I cannot wait to order more and replace all my other leggings with them."
"These are the perfect thickness, and they hold you in well," wrote another rave reviewer. "They feel sturdy, and I can wear them to any type of class. They also hold you in very well in the belly area."
Even the pros are fans: "I am a veteran fitness instructor who has worn a ton of leggings, from the very expensive to the stuff found in mass retail stores, and these leggings are probably the best. The fabric is amazing — no sheerness. They are strong, well made and they keep my tummy from bulging. The last one is no small feat considering I am a mom of two who is pushing 50. Also, the price is unbeatable! Wow. I would give these leggings 10 stars if I could."
Cons 👎
Ready to snap up these softies? Some shoppers say there are a few things to look out for.
"These are absolutely wonderful!" gushed a fan. Still, they added a caveat: "The only thing that I can tell you is, do not dry them in the dryer. It does affect the elasticity."
Another shopper who said these "hug all the right spots," added this: "My only real 'complaint' would be that it's hard to tell front from back because there is no tag or stamp. There are pockets so you can tell by using them, but it would be nice to be able to glance for a tag versus pat for pockets."
"Come on girls, if you want to look fabulous out there doing whatever you are doing, this is the brand for you," said a devotee. "I am an older woman who knows what she wants and knows how she wants to feel when she is out there working out. Not every brand is the brand for you, I do not work for anyone, I am retired and loving it. I also want to look great exercising as well, these do that for you as well as make you feel good." Say no more!
