Spalding Women's Capri Leggings

I don't write too many reviews considering the MASS amount of stuff I buy on Amazon. I LOVE Amazon! Anyways, I felt compelled to write about these AWESOME workout pants. I just started dong Zumba and realized the sweat pants just weren't going to cut it. I'm 5'4" and near 200lbs. Square build, on the 'junk in the trunk' side. Wearing skin tight pants was not something I was looking forward to. I started at Walmart and was horrified. I ordered some others online that were 'shape wear' and I was not feeling it. First thing I learned is I was going TOO large. Us bigger girls try to hide it with clothes that aren't skin tight. Doing so made these pants do weird things in all the wrong places. Excentuating the crotch area was NOT what I was going for. The key is going a bit smaller than you would think you'd wear. I thought this would make that worse, but it actually helped round everything our instead of creasing in the wrong spots. I ended up finding a cheap pair of workout pants at Walmart that worked because I sized down. I generally wear an XL or XXL in sweat pants. I ordered these in an XL and they were not as tight as I wanted. I returned (free returns with prime! Ya!) them and got a L. Perfect fit! Even seem like they could go a bit smaller as it is not very tight in the waist, but I think a washing or two might fix that. These are a nice thick material. A matte cottony feel, not the shiny kind. They have a nice firm stretch to them. These will be my go to pants from now on! YES!
