Good but affordable leggings, ladies!

Hey ladies!
Where can I find some good and cute but affordable leggings?? I love the high waisted look but most importantly, ones that don't cling onto the hoo-ha... I know, omg- awkward! What I mean is that leggings usually have stitching going across that area which gives the appearance of major "CT". Not a good look, right?
Your help would be most appreciated!

Victoria Sport has some cute ones and they always fit well. I love 90 Degree by Reflex (TJ Maxx, Amazon, or their own website). Their leggings are the best I have. $21.99 or thereabouts. I buy their tanks and workout jackets, too. They don't show sweat nor CT.
The biggest CT and sweat-show offender I've come across is Koral Activewear. It's meant to be "luxe" and I bought a pair of $145.00 basic Capris. It was a CT show. Apparently they're only meant for standing still in cool climates. So don't be tempted by their fancy marketing.
And some ladies at my gym were talking about how they liked the Champion leggings from Target... but they were see through. So exercise caution there, too.
An investment you may want to think about is the Knixwear underwear line. The sport bikini and hipsters. Omg, once you wear them, you will never wear normal underwear again. I have 7 pairs and they were worth every penny (website only).1 -
Ahh! Your incredibly helpful, thanks for the suggestions! @WendyLeigh11191

You're welcome! I'm a compulsive workout-clothing shopper, so if it can be worn on the body... I probably have it.

This may be heresy, but consider a lightweight/flexible adhesive everyday-type pantiliner in the crotch. Not really visible if lightweight/flexible enough, but it kind of fills over the area of of concern. How well this works doubtless depends on both the specific leggings and the specific liner.0

@WendyLeigh1119 I'll head to tjmaxx soon but i just placed an order with Knixwear! I'm pretty excited for these! Haha1

I like expensive *kitten* leggings. But besides pricey ones, I like RBX. They make some nice high waisted styles. You can also find them at TJ Maxx.This may be heresy, but consider a lightweight/flexible adhesive everyday-type pantiliner in the crotch.

Heresy for sure.1 -

Omg, you're going to love them! And they are so invisible and weightless under normal clothes, too! If you can't find the 90 degree at TJ Maxx
... Amazon definitely has them.0 -

TJ Maxx is where I go. I honestly don't understand why someone would ever pay more than $12.00 for leggings anywhere else when you can get new ones for so little there.
...And if you're looking to be even MORE frugal, try Goodwill. I get SO many "used-but-in-new-condition" clothes from there that I would never be able to afford otherwise I got a North Face tank top, an almost-new purse, and two pairs of cute jean shorts there last week for less than $20.00.1 -

I didn't understand either...until I tried good/well made leggings. I can't go back.4 -

This for me. I spend on my leggings.0 -
A second vote for the 90 Degrees by Reflex.
I get them on Amazon for about $20, but they have a tag on them that says they retail for like $80-100. (Sometimes the capri length is less than $20.) They also have some higher waisted options, but the regular ones are great.
I initially bought 2 pairs a few years ago, which are still in great condition, they're just getting too big. I've more recently bought several pairs in the next size down and love them. I would buy every color but I'm afraid I'll need to go down another size by the time I reach my goal weight.

I get some from Old Navy. I buy on sale and with my bucks back, so spend next to nothing out of pocket. My others are DanskinNow from Walmart, but are not the best quality.0

Yeah, but TJMaxx carries all of the well-made brands that have been mentioned. $80 tags on them for $15. Can't beat it and they generally have a HUGE selection.2 -
I like many of Old Navy's leggings too. I would look at places like TJMaxx and Marshalls when I am there, but Old Navy is usually my go to. I also am a little too large still for Victoria's Secret or more expensive brands, but I am at the top end of the Old Navy range and they work well for me. Oh, I also like Gabriel Brothers, I have gotten some good deals there too but it is hit or miss.0

My favorites are Victoria Secret Sport and Under Armour. I've never had a see through or CT issue with either brand. I usually watch for a sale on VS workout pants. Some VS pants have that stitching you mentioned, but if the pants have a pattern it usually does not show. Dick's Sporting Goods and Nordstrom usually have a variety of options, too. And I happen to live near an outlet mall that has UA, Nike, Rebok, and a couple of other running/workout stores, so I guess I might have more options to check out than others.0

I really love the Baleaf leggings from Amazon. I get the normal mid rise ones and they're amazing for like $15. Not see through at all and they fit in the same way as more expensive pairs0

Nah. I don't know. I love my Lululemon. I never thought I'd spend a penny on them but after I got a pair for free with a gift certificate, I couldn't go back.1 -
Try fablectics they often have good deals but don't get sucked into membership unless your an athlete!0
