I really love these! I was unsure what size to get but went with a small. I measure 40 or so inches at the hips and weigh 139 pounds. I am 5’2. I was worried a small would be too small, but got the small based on other reviews. When I saw them, they looked tiny and I didn’t see how they would go on. When I tried them on, they were a little like putting on nylons and tight but not uncomfortable. My first thought “these are too small.” However, after wearing them around the house for a couple of minutes they were fine. I looked them up again on Amazon to see the description and the reviews again and was reminded these are compression leggings. That is what is important to remember-they are compression so they aren’t going to be a loose fit or just pull on. I have other leggings I use to workout, but while they aren’t loose, they aren’t compression. These are compression leggings, so they are going to fit a little on the tight/compression side. Think panty hose. You can’t just grab the waist band and pull them on and they aren’t going to feel like you have nothing on. They do however feel comfortable and don’t feel like they are squeezing you to death or anything close. They fit really well and help a little to hold you in. They also really hide cellulite. The small fits me just fine. They are comfortable to workout in and stay up and don’t sag in the crotch and don’t show dimples or sweat. I got the green camouflage and they don’t show sweat in the crotch and don’t make me look like I peed, not even after I do spin. I usually avoid anything but black workout bottoms because of the sweat factor. They are high waisted and will roll down a little at the top sometimes, depending on what you are doing. I have several high waisted leggings and only those with a tie in the waist (why can’t they all come with a tie in the waist) don’t roll down a little.
My only complaint is the same I have with all pants-they are way too long on me since I’m 5’2. These are full length to the ankle, which means I have about 5 inches of material bunched up. 7/8 leggings actually are full length on me. I wish that all brands would realize that we are all of different heights and would make at least some different lengths. I never like full length leggings, but really wanted to try this brand and wanted the camouflage pattern. I don’t care what time of the year it is, I’m working out and will heat up just fine so don’t need full length leggings. I prefer workout leggings to come around the mid calf. (pants that are supposed to come right below the knee will hit mid calf on me.)
