    http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=53935&vid=1&pid=810761002 Those are the old navy ones I wear and they're pretty high in the waist (several people even mention it in the reviews) so they definitely stay up.


    hmm - funny that compression leggings would be so different from compression capris. These are the ones I'm having a problem with:

    I like the way they look, and honestly they're pretty comfy, so I just make sure I only wear them on running days. The weird thing is they feel and look almost the exact same as my precious Nike ones, but they just won't stay up while I jump and dance in Zumba *shrug*.

    Maybe I just have an abnormal body shape :tongue:.

    Edited to add: Just read the reviews online. Apparently I'm crazy. No one else on the interwebs is having this issue.

    I was gonna tell you my friend was wearing those exact pants during our run tonight and she loves them but I figured that wasn't helpful. lol Maybe you could try going down a size? I'm 5'6", 174 lbs and wear a medium, which I thought was too small for me but they fit great. A lot of people say they're true to size but ON seems to vanity size quite a bit.

    I came here for Yoga pant pictures and am thoroughly disappointed... :sad: :wink: :grumble: :laugh: :laugh:

    I bet you're a real gas at a party. :huh:



    I used to do the cheaper pants, but you really do get what you pay for. I love Lululemon, Athleta, some VS when I doing a lot of floor work and don't care if they get trashed. I haven't tried Lucy yet, but I'm thinking about it. I'm starting to get this way for tops too. But for now I have my sports bras (no pics for the creepers lol ) and a cheap Walmart danskin tank over it. The tanks are like $4 each, so you can get one in every colour. The problem is they sell out fast in the season, so get them when you see them.

    Athleta, now that my size isn't changing. I get stuff from Title Nine too.

    I have full length running tights, and usually just wear a baggy top - I tend to spend more money on tights and trainers.

    I used to get baggy jogging bottoms from cheap sports shops like JD, I used to say you would NEVER catch me in lycra! Now I will only wear lycra unless I am on the exercise bike at home, and then only because I want to get some use from the cheap joggers I bought. It is the most comfortable and descreet for sweat patches! does not matter make / brand, although I have noticed that most of my stuff, shoes, bottoms, gym bag, shower shoes etc are Nike. The company I work for provided running tops which are great (NON IRON) so I wear those. If I knew how to attach a pic I would.

    I have a couple pair of Nike Pro Combat capris that are comfortable and wear well. Think I got them both at TJ Maxx/Marshall's for $15-20. Favorite running bra is the Moving Comfort Phoebe. I'll buy any shirts as long as they're tech and comfortable (actually have quite a few I've collected from various races and training programs)--one of my current favorites is a Nike Dri-Fit, which is very soft. But brands are all over the place: Brooks, Saucony, Fila, Champion, New Balance, Under Armour--I shop sales so I can get name brand stuff at cheap brand prices.

    I also swear by bike jerseys (also vests and jackets, depending on weather) when I want to run in a tech fabric item that actually has pockets. Very handy!

    I swearby lululemon pants/capris, Old Navy sports bras (seriously, they're the best thing I've ever worn) and any kind of cheap tank. I will buy tops at lululemon too, but only on sale.

    I hate how much I love lulu, but like others have mentioned, I can't find anything else that stays up and in place during heavy cardio jumping/dancing, etc.

    I generally buy Champion from Target or Old Navy stuff. Sometimes I get some things from Costco. I refuse to pay over $100 for clothes to sweat in. LOL

    I usually buy my workout gear at T K Maxx (I think you call it T J Maxx in the States?)

    My favourite item at the minute is from MPG, and is a running top with long sleeves, including a little hole at the ends of the arms to hook your thumb through. They also have a small zipped pocket at the back, so I love the thought and design that's gone into it.

    I went to Walmart the other day to pick up a pair of the Danskin pants/capris since I've heard good things about them but I did a fit test -- you know bend over, sit down, etc. -- and when I bent over I could easily see my underwear through the material (not pantyLINE, actual undies!). I don't know if the quality has gone down since any of you ladies bought this line but it's worth checking before you buy them!

    With that said, I have to echo the Champion pants, love mine. I also love Under Armour but only buy it from sales, clearance racks, or outlets!

    I get Victoria's Secret Pink cropped capris, Lululemon Ta-Ta Tamer sports bras, and Lulu tanks too. I'm obsessed with the Cardio Kick Lululemon tanks right now. Just bought three, haha.

    I absolutely love my Victoria Secret yoga pants...they are my favorite...comfortable but fashionable as well. If I had the money it is the only thing I would work out in because I would buy drawers full of them.

    When they are washing I usually just wear soffe shorts and a tank top.
