Leggings ?

I always hear people talk about how great leggings are especially when you are pg. So I went to Kohls and bought me a pair of black leggings. I found them in the pantyhose section. When I got them home and put them on, they were totally see through. The package definitely said leggings and not pantyhose. They seemed to fit otherwise, so I guess I am asking if my legs just too large to wear leggings or did I buy the wrong kind or is that how leggings are supposed to be? I mean, if I wore those things, everyone would see my arse, so I'm thinking they are a no go.

Wrong kind! And yes, showing your arse is a no go.

I did the same thing at first!

Wrong kind. They're like these. Target has some also, but I don't like their new ones ... the waste band is too wide and gives me, ahem, too many bellies

And no, you don't want to show your arse. Wear them with long shirts, like tunics, that cover your behind.

yep - you don't want the leggings in the pantyhose section.  you'll find some that are more like 'pants' in the regular clothes section. 

I got a pair of preggo-leggings but I can't remember where I got them from.  Maybe motherhood?

I have a rule about the tops I wear with leggings: they have to still cover my butt if I raise my arms above my head

Motherhood and Target both have maternity leggings. Motherhood will probably have them locally, too. Not sure about Target - they are hit or miss.

Good idea, Persa lol.  

I've gotten leggings from JCP and Target.  Even *gasp* Walmart has some thick ones for $7 right now.  I bought them for everyday errands and playdates.

I saw some leggings in the maternity section of Target the other day.  They were opaque, definitely not at all see through--they were the kind you wear with a tunic or something.  Maybe check those out?
