This is the best lol My BF would have been so uncomfortable and not wanted me to go out like that. Anyway, I love leggings! I would say don't buy see through ones is the best advice here? Not all are see-through. I agree with the idea of seamless ones as well, if you find them. Also, I honestly don't care what strangers at the gym think, but I have a man at home and he's the only person who's opinion matters at the end of the day, so I guess that's why I don't care. Maybe if I was still on the market I'd want to make a better impression? Or maybe I'd be self-centered and still not care. Probably the latter. If they didn't want to see a bunch of sweaty people, half of whom are overweight, in awkward positions, then they should have avoided the gym? Lol.
I don't think anyone is buying see through leggings on purpose. That's the point.
Nope- definitely not a purposeful purchase.
Thanks to those who suggested Old Navy- I went there yesterday and got a nice, reasonably priced pair with no see-through problems. Cause who doesn't need any more workout clothes

I've rarely seen a person in the gym who doesn't at least look at their phone at some point though. I don't think people would survive leaving in a locker.
Nope- lies- 3 guys. But they are old as methusala and they all work out in ripped denim jeans and construction boots- so that's a clue right there- (also none of them have smart phones if I was a betting woman) so yeah- it's a rare breed that doesn't even HAVE their phone on them. Most people do.

I go full face to the gym. Yep- blown out massive eye shadow and crazy lipstick.
Hasn't stopped me from lifting well yet.

you can see skin- and or thongs/underwears. I mean- I usually lift in t back or go commando. But they stretch and you can see the skin- depends on how comfortable you are with yourself on if that will bother you or not.
something like this happens

Working out?
Some dudes just don't understand women who go out looking nice usually aren't doing it for male attention, they just want to look good.Rebecca0224 wrote: »Sweet_Heresy wrote: »I wear basketball shorts.
Dunno, leggings just make me feel self conscious and naked. Lol.
I thought I was the only person who felt naked in leggings, I can't wear them.
I have a pair that aren't see through- but thing- and light- and they 100% are like having no pants on.
it's like the best feeling EVER.
#nopantsdance
As a male and I feel very awkward making a post about this but I have to agree on the best feeling ever. Bought some compression pants (sounds more manly if I don't call them leggings) was blown away at how comfortable they were. Had that "it all makes sense now moment." Also when I do squats makes my knee wraps not feel as uncomfortable compared to bare skin(old man knee's).
What's not to love- like you get home- most women strip their bra off- I'm like a dude- no pants- immediately. I love the feeling of no pants.
pants = Leg prisons.
Not a fan. it's one of the reasons my leggings collection is so effing extensive!2 -

I am obsessed with Old Navy's compression go dry leggings/crops. I have like 12 pair in different colors and have never had the "see through" problem. Every time I get a new pair I squat and bend over (in different lights) in front of my husband and make him check.

Yeah that's why i never wear them to the gym. I don't mind feeling naked at home haha. I also wondered where people keep their phone when they wear leggings. All my workout pants have pockets.
in my gym bag?
or just leave it in the locker.
Everyone at my gym carries around a bag though- backpack or duffle.
I have an IG video I took for funsies one day when we were all there- looks like we effing moved in to the gym- everyone set their bag in the same space- it was a lot of stuff.
People that leave their phone in the locker clearly don't need music when they work out huh!? I've seen girls put their phone in the waistband of their leggings and I can only imagine how sweaty the phone would get if i were to do that!
Most people at my gym have Bluetooth headphones nowadays.
I'm the only lame one with an iPod and arm band still.
I have bluetooth headphones but never thought of leaving my phone in the locker because i assumed it wouldnt work far distance! I'll have to try that out though.
Same here!!! I love my bluetooth headphones but always carried my phone with because I thought the range would be too far.0 -
If your worried about them being see through try the gymshark leggings they are fab always pass the squat test to. The flex leggings are probably some of the best and the seamless as they have contour just to make that Instagram picture even better ;-)0

I might not be seeing the label right but the picture someone posted above- aren't those gymsharks? They look too see through for me, but I guess could be fixed with nude/black underwear. But why pay those prices just to have to do that?

Well I may join you in the obsession

Wear running shorts over the leggings.2

don't care...if you are looking that closely at my butt, I should be flattered, probs- but you're a perv.2

I wear nike or under armor leggings and have no problems with them being see-through. I suppose they're technically dri-fit running leggings, and they're expensive more expensive than the fancy print ones or basic department store alternatives. But a worthwhile investment for a runner and helpful for Oly lifting.0

Hahaha, awww I love the Goonies.
As for leggings. I wear these great reversible sports leggings that are definitely thicker and completely squat proof. When I'm down a couple of sizes there is a pair of under armor leggings I want to try.

Yup. That's why I've decided to never by Lululemon. When the CEO was running around fat bashing women I was like, "Ummmm nope!" So they don't get my money no matter what size I am.1 -
I never wear the ones with cotton...I hate how they get sweaty and wet and don't dry.
I wear the lycra/spandex/whatever type and they tend to be thicker and nothing shows through. I also like the compression that they give...it seems to reduce the likelihood of minor muscle injuries for me.0 -
I normally wear Nike pro shorts. If I'm wearing leggings, my thought process is more about ease of getting knee sleeves on than whether you can see something at the bottom of my squat.1

OMG, I have never seen that before! Never noticed this at any of the, admittedly only 2 gyms I've gone to.
I'm not big into workout clothes, I mean brand names and such, I bought my first 2 pairs at Macy's, a brand called ideology, they're made of polyester and spandex. My workouts are probably not as intense as most of yours, but so far they feel great.0 -

Phones for music is a fairly recent invention- before phones- there were mp3 devices
some people still use them.
I use an ipod classic and shove it in my bra- I can't imagine shoving my phone in my bra though. way to big.
But I know a lot of guys/girls at my gym who use Bluetooth- so the phone stays in their bag and they walk around w/o it.
Yeah, phones are too big and bulky to mess with during a workout, IMO. What a pain in the butt to have to carry that extra crap around. I still use a tiny little ipod for music.0 -
I have an ipod too. The first gen were recalled so I sent it in (it was dead anyway) and got a brand new gen 2. The little square one that you can clip to your shirt. I've been using it for years.
Happily for me, leggings wise, I live near an outlet mall. Reebok and Nike are there.0 -

I'm so old school. Phones annoy me. It amuses me how people are so addicted to them. I only have one because occasionally I need to communicate for work. (I might need it for an emergency some day I guess maybe.) If I need to look something up I just use my laptop or wait until later if I'm out and about. I hate having to lug that thing around, I'm not emotionally attached to it at all, and it's annoying when people call me. I preferred the good old days when I was independent and free. I don't actually want people to be able to access my private time 24/7. In fact, I routinely leave it at home or at least behind in the car when I go places. Actually, I do find it most convenient as an alarm clock. So I guess they are good for something.

Some of these may be wearing a BT hrm and using an app to track heart rate and calorie expenditure. Thus they stop and check their heart rate.0

I'd happily leave my phone at home when I go to the gym, but my gym does not have clocks on the wall - so I need my phone to time my rests. And I'd write my programming on paper, but I have a handy app that tracks my weights since I need my phone for a timer anyway. And the music stinks at the gym, so while I have to have my phone on me as a timer and tracker, I get to listen to my own music while I'm there.
As for leggings, I buy dance wear pants that tend to be a bit more heavy duty. And Forever 21 actually has decent activewear and I love their shorts...not see through at all.
