Workout pants? Ladies

My current stretchy sports leggings keep fall down when I start jumping or running during a workout. They fit perfect when worn just regularly so don't think its a sizing issue. They are driving me mad!!! I'm joining a gym in a few weeks and don't want to have to keep stopping during workouts to hike my pants up again lol. I'm thinking possible yoga style pants with drawstring or even sport shorts might work? Anyone suffer with this issue and found some nice pants that stay up?? Would love any recommendations.

    My pants fall down too. The best for the price for me have been the brand RBX. They are stylish too and have pretty waist bands. The best in general...Lululemon. Pricey. But they aren't going anywhere.

    Under Armour leggings are my go to for yoga or cycling. I try to wait for coupon codes for the shop I usually buy from. They can definitely be pricy, but they stay up, look cute, and have aged well and still look new.

    Lulu run inspires for when I'm in the mood for longer pants, boogie shorts for when I don't want anything on my legs.

    I haven't been able to find any workout "pants" that don't look seethrough on my buttcheeks. I dont have the issue with rolling/falling down though.

    I choose to work out in UnderArmour shorts and they work like a boss though.

    I have the above three. I also have some of these by nike.

    For me these dont roll down/roll up. I don't have wedgie or cameltoe. I dont have see-through-ness. And most importantly they wick sweat so i dont feel gross.

    I personally dont like shorts/pants that are baggy because i'm afraid when laying down (bench, sit ups, etc.) i might flash someone a butt-cheek.

    I have the same problem. Nike's relay crop won't fall down. Definitely the best I've found. Super flattering too. Also, lululemon inspire crop/tight

    I love Under Armour clothing! It is worth the price.(long as you don't have a huge weight loss) My husband has had shirts for about 10 years and look almost brand new...they don't fade, fall apart or stretch!

    Try compression pants. I just bought some and they stay up a lot better.

    I'm a runner and suffer from the same problem. I don't consider anything without a drawstring, when shopping for workout wear. I have some nice Nike pants, but usually go cheaper with Target's Champion brand or Penney's Xersion brand. There are some good drawstring options out there, but it takes a little hunting to find them!

    Thanks so much for your replies! I've just done some googling and found some sports stores near by that stock those brands. Think i'll pop down this week and try some on. Hope they don't think im too crazy for jumping around in the fitting room though haha!

    Target Champion brand is my fave! I have XXL compression crops right now, they're getting a big baggy but I'm certain I could probably fit a regular L now so that's to be expected.

    Compression crops/pants are your friend. I'll be investing in more this fall once it cools down.

    I love champion! They're affordable and don't fall down when running and what not! Target has them, but I've also found them at sports authority! I wear the Capri ones. I think they may be compression pants. Who knows. They're tight but they don't move anywhere so that's a good thing!

    I have some Oakley pants that I love!! They have great workout tops too with built in sports bras and loose tanks over. I bought mine 50% off in February so hoping for a similar deal this spring!

    ETA: my butt is the flattest part of me (for now) and it hasn't been as issue with the Oakley pants.

    If you have a Costco near you they can have great workout stuff! I'm sorry I forget the name brand of the workout leggings but they have a drawstring to adjust (sounds like that would work for you) and the price is right. I also like my Old Navy compression leggings (stay up and keep things from jiggling).

    Athleta! Their kickbooty pants are so damn flattering, and they stay exactly where they should when I run, lift and in yoga. I also have some lulu lemons, and they are definitely cuter, but they don't stay in place as well as the athleta pants.

    I love r.e.i fleet capris for everything. Stay where they are supposed to (nice wide waistband and drawstring), never have a visibility problem, last for years and look good. Totally worth the cost.

    I wear TekGear from Kohl's. No see through problems. I get them from their Shapewear line, which has a slightly higher waistline. I've never had a problem with them falling down.

    I never have a problem with any of my Nike or Old Navy compression.

    I have all types. Lulu, under armour, 90 degree, I adore teeki too. They're made from recycled water bottles and the prints are bright and super cute

    What about recommendations for leggings you can buy online (or in-store in Canada), for over size 10? I'm guessing I'm a 14 at the moment, but not sure. I'm reading recommendations above for compression and drawstring styles, so a bonus if recommendations have these too! If you have any you'd recommend it would be amazing if you'd post a link.

    Danskin. I have shorts, leggings, and bras. I can go to Walmart or Target and try stuff on and it doesn't cost more than $20. I love that the leggings I have actually go up to my waist. Much more flattering than squishing me into a muffin top shape.

    I find the 90 degree brand is the worst at staying up. They run pretty big too.

    I ended up buying different pants for different things. My best pants are cheapies while my most annoying ones are LuLuLemon. You just have to shop around alot until you find the right ones for your body unfortunately.
