Embarrassed! I need help with PANTS for my apple shape

Ladies!

I went to a cardio and sculpt class today. I HATE these classes.... not because they are hard, but because I can't find a damn pair of pants to stay on my body.

I have the awful apple shape. Skinny face, arms, small boobs, skinny legs, and a big tummy. People tend to ask me if I'm pregnant, even though I'm not. I hate it. But, what I hate more, is my friggen work out pants falling down when I do jumping jacks. It makes me not want to exercise.

Help. I need pants, I need tips to find something that might work.

    Have you looked into something like Nike capri pants? I have a couple pairs of their running pants and they are tight so If you got the right size I'd imagine they would stay put.

    I have an apple-y shape. I like to get stuff with a drawstring to avoid the falling-down issues - usually capris. I have some Calvin Klein running shorts that are really comfy and cute.

    I'm pretty appley too. Sometimes I go with tight leggings or stretch pants under a baggy and long shirt. It's not my cutest exercise outfit, but the pants stay put. I also like drawstrings.

    Also a thought: are you certain you haven't lost an inch or something? Could be your pants are just too big.

    i'm totally the other shape...i have no idea what you would call it, but i've got fat arms, legs and a HUGE butt. i have trouble finding workout pants that fit through my legs....sooooooooo frkn annoying. but you know what....heres something i do and it might work for you. i usually get something several sizes larger and then just do a little nip tuck where ever it's needed. since it's workout stuff, it doesn't need to be all nice and neatly tailored...hope that helps....

    Another apple shape here :) Pants only ever fit me at the waist or the hips, never both. So I usually go with pants that ride a bit lower, and that usually solves that problem.
