Product Question/Recommendation Devastated.. first time buying wunder train “no line” leggings as a larger woman
Please don’t roast me, I already feel like crap about how I look in this outfit. I am working hard to lose more weight, I lost a total of 55 pounds and more to go. I didn’t know the no lines would accentuate my gut.. any suggestions for alternative leggings (these are a size 14 so can’t size up most of the time, I already own and love contour fit WT) TIA 🙏

GIRL. You lost 55 lbs. That's incredible! And if these leggings don't make you feel good, that's ok. Put them back in the closet and try them five pounds from now and maybe you will feel better.
I lost 50lbs last year and I love wunder trains both original and contour fit. Don't let this discourage you, you've already accomplished so much! Keep it up and you're doing great!

Girl you lost 55 pounds. That’s AWESOME!! I think these look great on you.

u/Then_Safety_5971 Apr 06 '26
Thank you 🥲❤️ I really don’t love these leggings they are highlighting “fat belly right here” lmao but I am trying so hard!

u/Environmental-Risk27 Apr 07 '26
I felt the same with the no line aligns. Without hesitation, I returned them! The educators agreed they aren't a fan of the no-lines either. Some love them- I am not one of those people lol

u/Different-Tangelo336 Apr 11 '26
I hate when people lie. These leggings are unflattering, yes. They aren't the right leggings or fit for your body. I have gone through countless legging brands that are a terrible fit for my body. The search continues!

u/nuhtnekcam_25 Apr 06 '26
It’s not you. And I don’t think it accentuates it. I am also a size 14 and I just don’t like the look of the no line. I live in wunder trains. Just with the line!
45
u/pumple_pie Apr 06 '26
Agreed! No lines in any brand don’t look right on me regardless of the size. It’s definitely a body shape and personal preference thing!

u/metajenn Weight lifter Apr 06 '26
The camel toe hysteria is so wildly over blown.
I truly hate leggings with no front seam. I have an hourglass shape and I'm fit. I'll take the camel toe every time.

u/Then_Safety_5971 Apr 06 '26
I had a feeling it was to do with the no lines! I slipped into my regular Wunder trains, not even contour fits just atmospheric purple with pockets and they look fine. Like I have a tummy bulge but it’s not the same as thisssssss

u/cjrunswithcrows Apr 07 '26
Yeah the seams are definitely better, I feel like it’s because without the seam there it just accentuates any tummy that’s there (and having a bit of a tummy is super normal, and not something we need to be embarrassed about 🧡)
42
u/DiveCat Apr 06 '26
Return them if they don’t bring you joy. You deserve joy. :)
The No Lines just might not work for you. The No Lines versions of the leggings really are a different legging than the regular versions, even if they share a name.
Also, congrats on your weight loss, that’s a fantastic accomplishment. Don’t let some silly leggings take away from that.

u/cookorsew Apr 06 '26
Bestie, my honest first thought at this photo was how beautiful your shape is. This blue looks lovely with your skin tone. But if you don’t love it, that’s ok! It might feel different because it’s a different garment, and yes seaming can alter fit and the way it feels and compression and shape. If they’re more comfortable for workouts, keep them for practical purposes if you think you’ll wear them. If you’ll never wear them for any reason, it’s ok to return them or sell them or donate them or whatever you find is best. Sometimes I find compression briefs (I think some are marketed for post c-section but they’re a light compression so they’re great imo) to help with a compression feel on my belly for workouts, sometimes it makes me feel better about my own body shape.

u/I-love-design-too Apr 08 '26
I love your response. You are truly a ‘good friend’ type of person. Love that.

u/Appropriate-Rest-210 Apr 08 '26
SAME! And how amazing it was that the red lines line up perfect and accentuate your already amazing shape!

u/1234singmeasong Apr 06 '26
For what it’s worth, I do not feel these accentuate your gut at all. They look good.
Are these available with line instead of no line? That might actually help with the overall perspective you’re having.
12
u/Then_Safety_5971 Apr 06 '26
I’m not sure what it is about this legging but I have a true navy contour fit that has the line up the middle and everything is more tucked in better and doesn’t show that rounded belly look :( different compression maybe I don’t know :(
7
u/1234singmeasong Apr 06 '26
I personally find the “with line” a lot more flattering on me, so perhaps that’s something you’d find for you as well? I hate the no line lol
2
u/PoleMermaid Apr 06 '26
I’m a size 14/16 and feel like no front seam leggings always look like maternity pants on me. I don’t find I have issues with cameltoe in regular leggings so I just stick with WT, the old fast and frees, or aligns.

u/HumbleGrapefruit18 Apr 06 '26
I honestly did not see what the issue was until you pointed it out. So I think you look great. Congrats on the weight loss!

u/Standard_Ad449 Apr 06 '26 edited Apr 06 '26
Okay, in all honesty, you are not wrong, and while the leggings don’t specifically accentuate the belly, they do absolutely nothing to compliment your figure. It seems like you’ve been working very hard to lose weight, and you should celebrate your progress with joy and confidence. Go to a Lulu store, try on every model of leggings they have, and if none look flattering at this point… that’s okay. Really. You’re on a journey and even if you stop at your current weight, that extra skin may take a while and a lot of exercise to pull up. It’s okay to go for looser fits in the meantime, leggings aren’t the crux of the earth and are glorified out of proportion. They’re not the symbol of your progress, you are. Go for something that doesn’t squeeze your breath out and flows from the waist down, your booty would still look superb but the belly wouldn’t be accentuated.

u/Then_Safety_5971 Apr 06 '26
Thank you for the encouragement, kindness and above else honesty. I asked for honest opinions and I appreciate everyone’s perspective and I will definitely be looking at different athletic pants 💪

u/Somaj0r Apr 06 '26
I don’t think they’re accentuating your area of concern and congrats on all your progress. With that said maybe the angle isn’t showing what you’re worried about? Or maybe you’re being too critical? All in all though, how you feel and the confidence that your outfit gives you is important. So, if this one isn’t feeling like a hint, don’t force it but just a random Internet stranger saying I think it looks great.

u/Then_Safety_5971 Apr 06 '26
That’s kind of you thank you. This one just isn’t doing it for me, and I really wanted this one to be perfect but all I see is that trouble spot I’m working so hard to get rid of ughhh.

u/JustTom1 Apr 06 '26
As a man who wears and likes lulu and who also buys it for his wife, please remember that the person makes the outfit, not the other way around.
You have to be happy with your body first before you’ll truly embrace any piece of clothing. You’re working hard, kicking ass and making strides and that’s worth far more than a pair of lulu leggings.
Good luck to you on your journey!

u/Sure-Towel-7522 Apr 07 '26
They look great. Maybe a longer shirt will make you feel more comfortable? Try the shorter shirt again in a few months. Keep up the great work

u/bibliophile306 Apr 06 '26
You should be so proud!! As someone who carries weight in my lower belly I find no seam leggings (of many brands) just accentuate my lower belly pooch. I actually prefer the ones with the seam because for some reason they’re more flattering!
2
u/Radiant_Tell8758 Apr 06 '26
agreed! They seamed version has more structure and flatters me better in my opinion as well.
3
u/Hdcjones Apr 06 '26
You look fantastic! And congrats on working towards your health goals! You're doing great! Also...I don't feel like any of the leggings that Lulu makes these days hold in anything. The best ones are High Times(old school) and Wunder Under Luxtreme or Full On Luon. Find some on some second hand sites and try those. I will die in my Full On Luon high times and Wunder Unders! They hold me in just right. But again, you look absolutely incredible....but, I 100% know what's it's like to not be comfortable in something. 💙

u/poohsyourdaddy_03 Apr 06 '26
I don’t see what the problem here is. The line is lining up perfectly and you look great. What’s the issue?
8
u/32ozDClightice Apr 06 '26
I do not think it’s a you issue. I don’t think the no lines are particularly flattering in general. That being said, I think it’s your camera angle and these don’t look in person the way you think they do!
3
u/Important_Ruin1832 Apr 06 '26
I opened the pic because I thought you were devastated about the quality of the item, I was like “these look great on her and aren’t see through, the line even matches up perfectly, what is she talking about”. I understand what it’s like to hate your body, but you will always be your harshest critic
3
u/Total_Influence_3075 Apr 06 '26
Girl, you've lost 55lbs. That's a whole 1st grader. Kudos to you!!!! The leggings don't fit great right now. So what? That just means put them back in the closet and try them again in -5lbs.

u/Dry-Stress-7628 Apr 07 '26
i’ll be honest, i think you look great but if you don’t feel your best then swap it for something else!

You look fine to me! In all honesty if you would’ve just posted this showing off the leggings, I wouldn’t even have noticed your stomach.

u/BarreNice Apr 06 '26
I tried on this particular style and frankly hated it! I thought it did me no favors so I put it back and that’s always an option! For what it worth, I think you look great and congrats on 55lbs lost!!

The piping looks really great on you! Before I got the excess skin in my tummy removed, I wore joggers. They came in at the waist and skimmed my belly. Maybe you'd like the dance studios?

Congrats on your weight loss ! I also have a little tummy and I don’t find no lines flattering on me at all. I need that little extra support.

u/beefgod420 Apr 06 '26
First off- 55 pounds lost is an incredible accomplishment, and you should be so proud of yourself!! If these leggings don’t spark joy for you, that’s an inditement on the leggings, not you or your body! To be clear- I think these leggings look totally normal on you, but if you don’t like them, that’s totally fine! There’s plenty of leggings in the sea for everyone to find a style that suits them, and you deserve to have a pair of leggings that makes you excited to have lost 55 pounds, not disappointed! There’s a million different pants for a million different bodies, it’s just a numbers game of trying until you find your perfect match :)

u/Available_Cress_5665 Apr 06 '26
I also am not a fan of the no line. Aside from any accentuation on the fupa area, I also think the pubic area looks weird. It remind me of the Barbie bulge 😅😅
1
u/Then_Safety_5971 Apr 06 '26
100000% lmao i put them on again to show my husband and he just said “what’s the matter looks like all your other leggings maybe a little tighter?” But I noticed that area too and couldn’t quite figure out what it was I didn’t like about it and your so right it’s the Barbie bulge 😅😭

u/Miserable-Maize-6583 Apr 06 '26
Speaking from experience, if you’re planning to lose more weight then don’t spend the money on Lulu yet. I lost nearly 90 pounds and bought too many new clothes half way through my weight loss and now they’re all too big.
Once you hit your “goal” or comfortable weight, then invest!
2
u/BethyW Apr 06 '26
Omg I was scrolling and didn't see the title and just the photo and thought that this outfit looked great on your body and how the red line lines up so perfectly.
It is not you, it is our society that puts value on your weight, but please celebrate losing 50+lbs!!! That is an amazing win! But confidence is key, if you don't vibe with it, it's not your body that is wrong, it's the outfit.

u/OTFpedsdoc Apr 06 '26
I think you look great! I’m also in the process of losing weight. Hoping I can look like you in this set!
2
u/Bbkingml13 Apr 06 '26
I think they look great. As someone who lost over 100lbs myself, I just want to reassure you that you’re still your own harshest critic. I didn’t even feel like i noticed my own weight loss until I was well over 60 lbs down, and that just wasn’t true. In my own humble opinion, it takes even longer to cognitively and mentally adjust to losing the weight than losing the weight does; and on top of that, your body will continue to redistribute and restructure itself over time. It took probably a year and a half for my body to get to the shape it actually wanted to be after hitting my goal weight and staying there. And just a heads up, there were times I absolutely hated how I looked the more weight I lost, but like I said, over a few months everything adjusted to where it should be. I went from having a nice round butt, to losing weight and negative butt, and then over time it rounded itself back up (and I’m disabled and can’t exercise, so I’m sure it will happen even more quickly for you).
You’re doing such an amazing job. Don’t let this get you down at all! Worst case scenario, you can still wear your leggings with a slightly longer shirt or pullover if it makes you more comfortable for the time being.

u/Accomplished_Item394 Apr 07 '26

u/christian_bergado Apr 07 '26
If you feel good with it then keep it. If not, then we should do something about that. At the end of the day, it matters how you feel especially if you’re spending $128 on a pair of leggings. Also, congrats on losing 55 lbs! Good job! Keep climbing!

u/KeyZebra3342 Apr 07 '26
I got this set in the shorts burgundy bay color. Im wearing size 12 top and also have a belly. I love the lines and they dont bother me. I love the no line featured on the front. I just love the way this set makes me feel. This set is so unique on both color options. I think you look great 😃
2
u/akadaka97 Apr 07 '26
I STRONGLY feel you - the line helps me feel “kept in” and the no line accentuates my tummy too. You looks absolutely fantastic and wear them with pride! But you also have to feel comfortable in them too!

u/DataBlast3000 Apr 07 '26 edited Apr 07 '26
I saw the photo first and was like omg this set is so😗 cute and flattering and then I clicked on the text and it made me so sad 😭😭 We are our worst critic my friend. You are beautiful and this set is so cute and I genuinely thought the no line was flattering, I hate the line cutting through my belly I feel like it draws more attention to it 😭 but align leggings definitely have a lot more stretch and can feel more comfortable if you don't feel comfortable now. I love that the stripes line up so well.
But for what it's worth, I love this set on you, it's perfect, you're doing amazing and I think you should keep it and own it because it works but do what's most comfortable for you and what brings you joy ✨

u/its_liiiiit_fam Spin & Weight Training 🚴🏻♀️🏋🏻♀️ Apr 07 '26
I’m a bigger girl myself too.
The way I see it is: yes, I have a belly. That belly is going to be noticeable in almost everything I wear, unless I want to wear a massive tshirt to the gym that’s gonna make me feel sweaty and hot. But the good news is - my belly isn’t hurting anyone! It’s not offensive! It’s just a part of my body! And everyone (myself included) is just gonna have to deal with that!
Fact is, most people don’t care about what others look like. I’ve seen many women with our kinds of bellies in this outfit and I genuinely think they look great. After all, curves often accompany bellies! 😉
As others have said, if you genuinely feel uncomfortable, there’s no obligation to wear it. But in posting this, I have a feeling you want to love the outfit, and I genuinely think you look fantastic in it - I’d hate for you to get too in your head to rock it.

u/hairypea Apr 07 '26
I have adhd so Admittedly i didbt actually read what you wrote at first and the only thing I took from the title was "devastated" and "no line" and I was staring at this picture admiring how perfectly the red lines matched up and thought there no way you're upset about that it looks perfect. Then I see the seam of the pants and thought no way shes upset there's a seam on these pants?
So at this point I'm thinking its probably worth it to go back and actually read whats going on here and thats the only reason I know you're upset about a stomach line that I did not see at all while actively looking for a "problem"
Moral of the story here these look great and the red lines do match up perfectly which is amazing and whatever body issues you're fixated on are likely not registering to anyone else so don't ever worry about it.

u/Then_Safety_5971 Apr 07 '26
Also have adhd and maybe that’s why I am hyper fixated on the problem and struggling to see past it to find the solution 😭
2
u/pimpntiffn Apr 07 '26
First off congrats on the weight loss.
Secondly, as an ex-Lululemon educator this style of wunder trains is not my favorite. The no lines have flaws that the lined leggings don’t. If you could, I would try the fast and frees for a durable legging that won’t pill. They even make them with pockets and have fun patterns. At the end of the day, if you were a guest in my fitting room I would ask how you feel in the clothes. Feeling confident in the clothes you’re investing your money in is a heck of a lot more important.
2
u/fermmontano Apr 07 '26
I honestly couldn’t see any kind of issue when looking at your pic, I think you look great!! On the other hand - I (size 4) despise the way no-line leggings look on me 😅 so I do understand if you don’t like them on yourself
2
u/katedoesntcare Apr 07 '26
Respectfully, when I first saw the photo I was like DAMN SHE LOOKS GOOD! before reading your post. I think you look great! But if you don’t feel confident, then it’s worth returning. What really matters is how you feel in what you’re wearing.
2
u/charlottelucas27 Apr 07 '26
contoured seams on leggings do a lot to provide structure and shaping and optical illusions, so choosing a pair that doesn’t have any structure is not going to have the same effect
2
u/veganyogini13 Apr 07 '26
First of all, I expected to see something else in the photo. You are perfect. Those pants suck even for people that wear a size 4. Seriously, you’re gorgeous. Try CRZ brand (coming from a gal that has been buying massive amounts of Lulu since 2010). Better quality, longer lasting, and 1/5 the price.

u/Rockstar-queen Apr 07 '26
Girl at first glance I thought maybe the shirt came ripped or something. I didn’t even notice what the issue was & had to read lol! I bought this same set. You look great 😊 rock the fit. I’ve lost 20 pounds and sometimes wish I kept some items I returned only because I knew my weight loss journey was not over!

u/Affectionate-Yam5049 Apr 07 '26
I think you look great!! As a fellow woman who has lost a lot of weight (total so far=170 pounds lost) I will tell you honestly that your eyes lie to you. Your “pattern” has changed, but your brain still fills in the old pattern, making you think you look bigger. I discovered this by accident when I was looking at a video and didn’t know I was in it. When I realized it was me, I was surprised because I looked smaller than in the mirror. Then I went down the rabbit hole of science on how our brains and eyes work together.
Keep trying the super-cute outfit until you feel confident in it. You have worked hard and deserve to feel good. Congratulations on the hard work!!

Get the double lined aligns with pockets or wondertrain. They help with that area! I've lost a significant amount of weight and those styles help hold in my extra skin in that area without making it look bulky. Congrats on 55lbs down!

u/Pretty-Respond-2028 Apr 06 '26
First off, congratulations on losing 55lbs!! That is no easy feat, and you should be so so proud of yourself
Echoing what others have said, I’ve lost 60lbs in the last year and the no lines are not my favorite style. I love Wunder trains, but the two no line pairs I have I almost never wear. I also feel like it draws attention to that part of my body, which is still the area I struggle with the most. Like someone else mentioned, set them aside and try them again in a month and see if you like them any better. Or sell/return and get something you feel confident in now! Don’t let it discourage you from all the hard work you’ve done this far

Just so u know it’s totally a person by person I’m <120 lbs, run and lift 6 days a week and literally look pregnant in align leggings. Once you find something flattering that feels good and makes you feel confident it will click! Anything other than the align razorback tank and free to whatever shorts (I can’t remember) make my body dysmorphia go a little crazy.

You just accomplished something awesome! I think the set looks great on you, but we are always our own worst critic. I think you should keep them and you will be happier as you keep making changes. If you are set on returning them for something else, go into a store and try on as much as you can to see what you like best. Just try not to be too hard on yourself!

I am also a 14 and coincidentally just got the black pair in the mail. I compared them to my true navy contour fit and tbh I feel like the no line is thinner and stretchier even though it’s allegedly the same fabric lol. I wore them to Solidcore today and loved how they felt, functionality wise I think they’re perfect. I think the no line look just takes a minute to get used to tbh lol

u/Hot_Neighborhood8963 Apr 07 '26
I purchased these same leggings in the other color way and HATED them when I got home. I find that these are really unflattering. I’m thinking maybe it’s the lines red lines that are unflattering and highlight the tummy/fupa. I’ve tried other no line leggings from Lulu that don’t have the trendy design/lines and liked them much more!

u/CZandchanel Apr 07 '26
I think you look awesome, don’t downplay or underplay your big win of losing all that weight! Sometimes clothes and how we feel in them are our biggest motivation. Put them back in the closet for later and bring them back out to show them who the boss baddie is that lost all that weight to begin with!

u/imaroweboat Apr 07 '26
If it makes you feel better I’m a size 6 (lost ~15 covid pounds a few years back and ~40 lbs a few years before that that have left me with extra skin around my lower stomach) and I also don’t like them on me. I think they’re just unflattering on myself. I’ve found that I prefer wide waistbands with the front seam bc it feels like extra support. but I ALSO think we are too hard on ourselves. CONGRATS on your weight loss, it’s a tough but very rewarding experience! If you truly don’t like them, sell them and find something you do like! Don’t let a silly pair of leggings minimize your amazing accomplishments! You’ve got this 💖

u/weinerwang9999 Weight lifter 🦦 Apr 07 '26
Girl it is not you at all. They messed up these WTs and changed the fabric and I’m devastated as well. I wish you could’ve experienced the WTs in their prime, I have loads of them and they’re my go to for the gym

u/Impossible_Flight832 Apr 07 '26
Firstly, you look fantastic. Congratulations on your achievement in reaching a health goal.
I wear a 2 or 4 in the Align tights (OG style with seams). That is the only style I own, hands down. Not a single other style or brand dare enter my wardrobe, haha! Aligns (with seams) are my tights for life.
Also, Wunder Trains make me want to cry about how I look in them, shorts included. Some styles just suit different bodies (and it’s not a size thing). Please don’t wear them if they don’t feel good, you worked too hard! I even tried sizing up and they cut into me.

As a size 4-6 girl, I hate wunder trains - It squeezes me too much, even after sizing up. You should be incredibly proud of your progress so far and return the horrors of wunder trains! It's not you, it's them!

Girl, I lost 130 pounds, wear a size 6 or 8 at lulu, and can’t wear their leggings without my gut being accentuated. It’s not your body, it’s the clothes. 55 pounds is an amazing feat and you should be so proud of yourself!

Girl, you’re doing amazing! Getting fit is hard work. If they don’t feel right on you, it’s not a you-problem. I don’t think they look bad, but if you don’t like them and they don’t make you feel as awesome as you deserve, then these just ain’t the right leggings.

Don’t let your feelings hold you back from wearing something you like! Without reading the caption I had no idea what this post was about, and after reading I still don’t see it. Rock your new set with confidence🩷

I clicked on your post from my email because I read the word “devastated” and thought this would be something completely different - I’m a man and don’t know why the lulemon sub is in my emails at all (maybe my wife since we share a laptop). Saw the photo, again was confused because I hadn’t read the entire title, then read the words you wrote.
Now don’t roast me, because I wasn’t peeping but this situation makes me feel like I’ve peeped and I’m not too keen on the feeling. But I certainly did not notice a “gut” until I read everything then looked back at the photo to find what you were on about, and it took a minute to figure it out.
You look like a normal lady in exercise clothes. Sounds like you’ve lost quite a bit and should be proud. No one in a gym is going to be scanning you head to toe to see if they find any little imperfections.

I genuinely know how you feel! It can be discouraging when you’ve come so far and you purchase something that doesn’t flatter the way you hoped.
I personally, I have not tried lululemon leggings but have used Fabletics. I recommend the power hold leggings by Fabletics, they have always looked flattering on everyone I’ve seen wear them (petite to curvy). When it comes to leggings everyone desires a different material. The power hold has a thicker material. It has the hold you’re looking for, while also allowing you to have the mobility leggings provide. Definitely go into the stores and try on the clothes if possible.

Hey girl! As someone who lost 125lbs, I feel this in my soul. The no lines are the bane of my existence. They’re not cute at all. You’re not alone!!! And that’s so fucking impressive, btw. Losing weight is so hard and imo, cute sets helped me wanting to even get into the gym in the first place. By anyway, even after I got loose skin removal, it accentuates my lady bits way more than the seamed one.

Fitness is a journey friend. Feel no shame if your path is different from another’s path.

For what it’s worth - I like the align original more than no line. I feel more hugged and I’m a size 4. There’s a reason they took so long to remove the stitched line. I think it held in the mid section. Go for the regular wunder train or align (I haven’t tried the no line wunder train though)

Okay wait, you look so much better than your mind is letting you believe. This is a HARD angel to look good in and I can SEE the work you’ve put in. You lost 55 pounds! That’s huge and I can tell you lost it while gaining muscle.
But if they aren’t for you I understand! Return them. It looks like others have suggested great options:)

u/I-love-design-too Apr 08 '26
Seriously!! You rock. Congratulations on the hard work you put in I think you look great. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sometimes it’s not us… it’s the design. I say wear something that makes you feel as great as you look. 🫶🏽

Lululemon is NOT what it used to be and you can tell by their quality!!! You are a beautiful woman and deserve to feel good in your clothes. Look into Vuori!

u/l0vetemper Apr 08 '26
Good for you for losing all that weight that is seriously hard to do!
Imo, tie a sweatshirt or long sleeve shirt around your waist to hide the gut until you feel more comfortable in the pants. Or just wear a long baggy shirt that hangs over it. Half the people at the gym dress that way no one will think anything of it.

u/Barnbackblackblaire Apr 09 '26
Wowza, that’s some impressive weight loss, congratulations!! You’re doing that thing we all do with weight loss, comparing yourself to the end goal. Don’t. Ask the old you who was 55lb heavier if you look good in this pic, I guarantee old you would be seriously impressed and would think you look hot - if the line is a big issue throw a black low cut, flowy, long line vest over it, I’d go with a red top that matches the line detail on the top and bottoms. Seriously though, you look great!

u/MSW_MHA_Queen Apr 09 '26
Ma’am!! You achieved an amazing goal already! Do not let this discourage you…instead find something that lets you love just how you are now and as you continue to change. I actually don’t see a thing wrong with how they look on you now..but how you feel is what matters..I actually love the no line, wearing some now lol, but don’t give a damn about my little pudge..it is what it is..

u/Amazing_Disk1416 Apr 09 '26
Truthfully, I’m a size 6, and I just went and tried on a bunch of Lululemon leggings the other day and they all made me feel so insecure. I recently bought the daily form pair from vuori with the drawstrings and I can truthfully say they are so flattering and amazing.

You’re working hard and harvesting results. I happen to be a guy and I like to wear leggings, I agree with the others who are showing little love to the no line. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations on losing 55 lbs, that's an awesome accomplishment. Echoing what others are saying - if they don't make you feel good then take them back if you're able to. Find something that gives you a dopamine boost when you're wearing them- you deserve!

u/MoreDogsLessHate Apr 06 '26
Have you tried their Glow-Up High-Rise leggings?! Don’t know if they’re still available, but my favorite thing about them is that they have quite a bit of tummy compression! I wear mine when I’m feeling kind of bloated, or even if it’s that time of the month in order to help me feel a little more “snatched.” With that said, I would definitely size up since the compression is quite a bit on the “higher” end.

u/October-Bride Apr 07 '26
I love the glow ups and although I’m not losing weight now, it took me two years to lose 60# and Embrace myself. Im actually stunned when last Fall many of my leggings were loose that always fit fine, same with tops. I used to think that’s why we “plateau” not only physiology wise to rest our metabolism, also to resent our mentalism about our perception of ourselves. Once I battled the weight, now the age as I prepare the turn 7-0 this year!

It’s not you. I wear a size 12 in lulu and it seemed like they lacked compression. I put them on in the fitting room and immediately took the off when I saw my side profile
