I am on the search for a legging that is not gonna break my bank but that I can bend over in at the gym without my *kitten* showing through. Any suggestions? Right now I just wear cotton leggings and shorts over top, but I'd like to get some better quality leggings so this is not necessary.

EDIT: "kitten?" Oh FFS. lol My "butt."

    Constantly Varied Gear has some fun, squat-proof, ones. They're usually about $35.

    I got mine from a walgreens.
    They are pretty thick and you cannot see through them.

    Check out Grrrrl clothing and Superfit Hero- they are woman-owned, great companies! Grrrrl is more affordable.

    I love GRRRL clothing! I also wear leggings from Reebok, Under Armour, and Victoria Sport. I'm lucky that we have an outlet mall in town so I have lots of options. You can also check stores like Dick's or Nordstrom Rack for more brands at decent prices. Right now I believe Victoria Secret is having their semi-annual sale. Target also has some nice workout gear.

    Walmart....the black Danskin dri-fit are $12-$15 dollars. They aren't see through when I lift and they're moisture wicking when I run.

    I have mostly Walmart New Boundaries polyester leggings. $6 and last longer than their Faded Glory and Danskin cotton leggings. I like my Old Navy leggings for working out. The compression line is a good heavy fabric for lifting. Their running leggings are cooler, but are like a 90's spandex fabric and don't leave much to the imagination. I have a really big butt, have to size down to fit my waist, and still can't see through any of my leggings.

    I like my Nike and Reebok ones. Also snag a bunch from Ross, but you gotta do the bend over test In the fitting room they're hit or miss.

    They have a great message- they are women/body positive and the pants are pretty straight forward and not extremely pricey.
    They also have some of the best patterns- annnnnnnd they have amazing customer services.

    I like the Aerie ones. I usually catch them on sale and it ends up being 24$ for two pairs. They aren't see through, and they come in high waist.

    I've been debating ordering- they brought back their comic book leggings- so I caved and ordered- 37$ shipped for a pair of pants isn't bad at all- assuming they effing fit. I had to order an XL. I *MIGHT* Make it.

    I like Zella, Nordstom's in-house brand. If you wait for a sale, the price isn't bad. Love the material and definitely not see-through!

    Another vote for Danskin at Wal-Mart. I also like Nike, Under Armor and Ododos (sold on Amazon and super cheap. Have several pairs and they are great quality!).

    Yes! hahah! I am totally familiar with the "bend-over" test. One time I bent over at volleyball in my spandex leggings and I was told they were totally see through.... Now I always do the bed over test r stretch the fabric with my thumb some to see if I see skin first!!

    I have a few that I got at TJMaxx that are RBX brand. I am not sure if it is different from area to area, but all of the TJMaxx stores around here carry a lot of that brand. Everything I have that is RBX is very nice quality and is super affordable at TJMaxx.

    I checked out the website.

    Pretty pricey but, even as a guy, I'd be interested in buying a couple of the more unisex patterns.

    Funny, they just have leggings and shorts in stock for women. They don't even stock leggings or shorts for dudes, just sloppy t's and gangster hoodies. WTF?

    LOL!

    I'm in love with Fabletics gear for workout gear! Super comfy, STRONG, and they fit great. I have a couple pairs of their capri I've worn not only working out but also under my (leather) race suit, for two years now, and they are still 100% together (the color on one is fading a bit, but I wore it a LOT).

    The designs of the gear are great IMO. Historically my workout gear was just a baggy (or less baggy) tee/tank and shorts or similar. It's kinda nice wearing something that's a little flattering now :)

    I like their other stuff I've tried too, the underwear and socks are my favorites in my closet too!

    I’d like to try fabletics, but I never will because it’s one of those stupid subscription services.

    I've had excellent luck with Under Armour and Old Navy. Bonus: some of Under Armour's pants come in lengths (short, regular, tall) for an affordable price.

    It is, but you can skip every single month if you'd like. I just put an auto reminder on my calendar to go in and skip the month. No limit on skips.

    I just joined the other day, hope I like them! I joined the VIP club and got 2 pairs of leggings for $24. You can cancel anytime or just skip months.
