Leggings?

So as I'm sure many of you are aware, leggings are a post partum girl's best friend. Problem is, I can't seem to find the perfect ones! All I want is like 2-3 good solid go-to pairs of leggings to get me through... I'm not looking to spend more than 15-20 per pair.. Any suggestions?

    Hue makes a wideband legging that does not give you muffin top.

    Edit: I just read where you didn't want to spend more than $20.00.  These are a little more pricey but well worth it.

  • I have both regular and maternity leggings from target that I love. The regular ones are like $8 or something. I like the maternity ones better though.

  • I'm also wearing my maternity ones too... I'm just hoping to find a few "transition" ones that I can use if/when I lose the weight.. @kwrecks I was just down at target... Their leggings are 5 bucks today!! And @carrotcake06 ..,I hear ya.. I just got this shirt at ON and am hoping to find more... It seems to camouflage the muffin top well and while this picture isn't as flattering, it's Flowy enough to make me feel semi ok...

    @kquinonez where do they sell HUE? It sounds familiar... Kohls?

  • @nikkid522 I like that top! And your LO is so cute in that vest!

    @kquinonez I'll have to look into that brand - I hate having to pull the mat ones I have up all the time.

  • Nordstrom for sure.  Maybe elsewhere but I cannot say for certain.   It is called the ultra wideband leggings.   We don't have a store here in OK so I order online.

  • @kquinonez follow up question - how do you find the sizing? As usual, it looks like I'm in between sizes.

  • @carrotcake06 I follow a blogger and she was a small so I got a medium.   LoL I know that is not any help.  Here is a link to her review so maybe that will give you a better idea.

  • There is a site I shop at on occasion called toadorn.com. It is a site where companies give discounts on their products for a few days in hopes of reaching new customers. Anyway, there is a boutique that regularly has fleece lined leggings for sale for $6.50. I bought some to give myself for Christmas. I fricking LOVE them!! So comfy and cozy and in my opinion, even better than ON maternity ones.
  • I ordered some from Maurice's that I love.. Idk if they have Maurice's everywhere? They're not too thick but thick enough not to be "sheer".
  • I love the the Lauren Conrad brand at Kohls. They are the most inexpensive leggings that seem to remain opaque instead of see thorough at the most in opportune times.
  • Please someone buy a pair of these bad boys:

  • Thank you for this thread. I bought two of the hue leggings. I can't wait for them to arrive.

    TNA leggings are worth the trip to Canada. I received 4 pairs for Christmas. They are thick, have a wide waste and you can cut them to your length.

    Very thick without being bulky. Wearing mine now. The best part is the no muffin top.

  • @kquinonez how is the sizing? And I know this is an insane question, but if you happen to have pets, does their hair gravitate to them? Lol

  • I have a dog who sheds and it just fine.  They seem to not collect much static.   Sizing I find them true to size.   They have a lot of stretch so I would not size up.

    Yes! They are so comfy, and have different styles and colours with the same waist

  • The hue are nice. Def not sheer. I found the sizing true to size. They're just a little long but that doesn't bother me. I just tuck the pant under my heel. And amazing no muffin top!!
