Gym pants "rolling over" in Workout

So, I have a random questions which I am sure I can't be the only girl with this issue.

I bought new gym pants, as I lost some weight, now, they stay up great during warm up and light lifting, but once I get into a real WOD, they seem to roll at the waist making me have to stop to pull my pants up and then I get self-conscious that my belly shows ( LOL #firstworldproblems). Anyone else have this and have any tips for making pants stay in place !!!

    Time for new pants :)

    I wear higher waisted workout capris but I probably hike my pants up between every single set. Either up or down. Not sure if it's out of necessity or habit.

    Oh I know. Plus it's a bummer when it's a pair you like and can't find the next size down. I bought close each time I dropped a size. Not an entire wardrobe and I know it's not possible for everybody.

    Out of the 6 or so brands I have tried, I find my Old Navy high waist compression capris are the only ones that don't roll down during workouts.

    I make sure I get a large enough size that there is no tugging when I bend over. I must have 15 dang pair of capri pants, and most of them came from Target, Marshal's or TJ Maxx. CHEAP!

    The only pants I haven't had creep on me have been from Fabletics, compression & high waisted. I have tried Nike, Old Navy, Gap, Lululemon, the works! I am glad I am finally not having to hike my pants up all the time!

    GRRRL pants- stay up- 100% of the time.
    I also wear MPG - I think you can purchase them on line- but I get mine at TJMaxx- they are great.

    Either get something high wasted, or make sure they aren't too tight. I have only had things roll when they were a bit too small.

    when my running leggings started getting loose on the waist, i cut 2 holes in the waistband at the front and inserted an elastic piece of rope (like sweatpants have). Now i can tie the ropes in the front, and nothing falls down.Saved me some money this way.

    My workout tights are all from ON. The high waisted ones I got for lifting always roll down on me. I thought they would support my midsection, but nope, they just roll down under my belly and annoy me. Their running tights make me happy though. They are midrise, so I get gut overhang, but they also have a drawstring so they stay put. I just wear a long shirt with them and make myself get over being self conscious.

    Old Navy and Victoria's Secret are my favorites. Both go on sale on a regular basis so watch for deals.

    Oh man. The Victoria secret ones are the only ones that stay up for me--I only have one pair because they are $$ and I got them on sale (bra and pants for $45!). I also like that they're thick. Waiting for another sale to pick up a new pair but I think I'll have to try Old Navy too since you guys are raving!
