Review on SEASUM High Waist Yoga Pants With Tummy Control, Butt Lift And Slimming Effect - Perfect Leggings For Workout, Running And Fitness by Patricia Muller

I will float right in the middle and give these "TikTok leggings" a solid 3 stars, because while it disappoints in quite a few areas, and some may just be personal annoyances, I can't get over how soft these are and how fabulous I look in them. It's up to you to decide which outweighs which.So, let's start with overall: these leggings are super soft, fit really well, and look great. I love how they look on me, which is a huge confidence boost as someone whose gained over 40 pounds as a result of the COVID shutdowns.I purchased an X-Large, weigh 218 pounds, and carry padding mostly on my hips and thighs. Oh, and I'm 5'11 *cue relief for potential tall peeps reading this*. I do not know my hip measurements but my waist is about 34 inches. The fit feels slightly loose, but still snug to my skin overall- I actually like this because part of my issue lately is having leggings that squeeze the daylights out of me.The pros:-Super soft-Looks great-This one's for the tall peeps: HIGH WAISTED AND REACHES YA ANKLES-Great for working out in as long as you're not doing squats, deadlifts, bent over rows, or anything that doesn't require bending over. So like.cardio and sitting machine weights (see video for reference)-Speaking of the video - I look SNATCHED. It doesn't unnecessarily squeeze in my body and feel like shape wear (like a lot of gym pants out there it seems). For me, I genuinely appreciate not feeling like a sausage.The cons:-NOT squat proof. Look elsewhere if you're looking for good pants to do your squats and deadlifts in. Even though I got black, the material is thin, and bending over reveals what's underneath.-The elastic in the waistband. I don't know what it is with popular leggings on Revain, but there's a "free floating" 1 inch elastic belt like thing in the top part of the waistband. I'm constantly having to adjust the band so it's not all twisted. Who thinks this is a good design?! It's stupid, annoying, and does nothing. Seriously, why is it there?-There's no tummy control like they claimed. The material is too flimsy to even make that claim. This isn't shapewear.
