    Thank you ladies. I am giving Appleletics a try and I also found a couple of good deals at Nordstrom Rack. I haven't had as good of luck with Target, seems everything rolls down on my hips but I really appreciate all the suggestions.

    Ok, so after receiving and testing out appleletics...

    Adorable, seems like decent construction, stayed up and in place for everything BUT running. Running was a nightmare with these pants and I gave up after pulling my pants back up about 5 times in the first 1/4 mile. However, I had no problem throughout the rest of my workout and my replacement cardio on the elliptical and bike after. So, I think they are great pants as long as you don't plan on running.

    hmm wonder why they fall down when running. are you built weird? I am and I have issues with regular pants fitting in certain areas.

    Whatever you buy, do a squat test in the change room wearing a brightly coloured and patterned pair of knickers. Reject pants if any part of knickers becomes visible...

    No one needs (or wants) to know you're wearing pink lacey knickers under your workout clothes...

    eh- whatever. I always squat test mine- but if you see my underwear. so what.

    For real... If you don't want to see... Don't look lol

    Lululemon are expensive but they last forever. wash after wash after wash. Same with Athleta. You pay more but they last a LONG time.

    I recently bought some compression pants on sale from Eastbay that worked well while running (they were also a great deal). I will admit I recently bought 3 pairs of capris from the Family Dollar because they were on sale for $6.75 per pair! Can't beat the price and they work well enough for training gear! I also find running in capris creates less issues with pants falling down as they don't pull down below the calves.

    I have all of mine from Old Navy and love them...the regular black yoga pants are thick and feel really nice, and they have really fun yoga leggings/capris! Super inexpensive too!

    Lululemon is my favourite- they are expensive to be certain but we have an outlet nearby that has good sales and they have online sales as well. I have had some of mine for over 10 years and I run in them daily.

    Mine fall down during running because I have a small waist and big hips. I have gotten to the point where I must have a drawstring on my shorts or leggings, and not having one is a dealbreaker. I like New Balance for this, I've also found some good Adidas. I use outlets like Ross and Marshalls as well as amazon.

    lol sounds like me with jeans. my waist is small and my hips and butt are still big lol

    I have a similar issue, because my waist is much smaller than my bottom half. Once I start sweating, the problem corrects itself. So maybe give it another shot if you already paid the money for them. This also happens when your workout tights are starting to get too large. Sweat will stretch their life just a little longer.

    haha, this is totally odd to share with you all, but hey - it's saved me from having to buy a million more pairs, just gotta stick it out past the first mile and I'm good.

    Haha, I prefer not to think of my build as weird, but yes... small waist, big hips/thighs/butt. So it is easy for pants to roll down. However, these didn't even roll, they just all out slid down my butt as I was running. I've never experienced that before!

    Marshall's and TJ Maxx, just have a look every time you're nearby, they have nice stuff at good prices.
