ColorfulkoalaWomen's Leggings

I am a lululemon die hard. I never step out of my lululemon bubble, I’ve done it too many times in the past and have ALWAYS been disappointed. These were on sale for prime day and I couldn’t ignore all the positive reviews, so I ordered a pair of these and a pair of yogalicious leggings. The package came with both pairs in the same shipping box, however, I couldn’t ignore the difference in the packaging. Colorfulkoala had them nicely folded in this ziplock bag (not your typical ziplock, this thing was NICE)that there was no way I was throwing away. When I pulled them out i immediately noticed the way they had the tag on the leggings themselves. Instead of punching a hole in the product to add one, they had this adorable little clip gently hugging the side of the legging with the tag. No hole necessary! I really appreciated the extra steps they took to keep these leggings in perfect shape from them to me.Now, let’s talk about the leggings themselves. Oh..my…gosh! They are literally like a perfect balance of wunderunder and aligns. The softness and the perfect stretch makes them hug your curves just right while having enough support to hide any cellulite. AND…they’re squat proof! They go up high enough to keep you sucked in but don’t go up SO high that they fold down while moving around too much. These are mom approved! I don’t know that I would wear these to the gym because of the softness they would most likely show sweat marks. But don’t let that steer you away from these leggings, they are absolutely a necessary addition to your legging collection. When I have a full drawer of clean leggings, these are 100 percent my go tos, I’ve already ordered three more pairs! Thank you colorfulkoala for making it worth stepping outside my lulu bubble. (Just want to add that the other leggings I bought from yogalicious could not even compare to these ones…but I’ll save that full review for their page!)

(Sorry that one picture is out of order - I uploaded them in order, and they're in order when I go to edit the review, but for some reason they're displaying differently on the product page! Also, trying a new thing where I capitalize the details I find most important to help those searching for answers within the reviews.)I purchased 3 pairs of these in different patterns (Black & White Brush Strokes, Deep Grey Camo, and Splinter Camo), all in size medium, and feel they are TRUE TO SIZE. I could have gotten away with size large if I wanted something less compressive, and because I'm a little thicker lately, but medium is still comfortable. I didn't notice any differences in fit or material between the different patterns. For reference, I'm a medium in pretty much every single legging brand I've tried (6 in Aligns, 8 in WU) and my current measurements are about 41-31-42 (bust-waist-hip). As for height, I'm about 5'3".As for the fabric, I find them to be VERY SLIGHTLY COMPRESSIVE but still super COMFORTABLE. As the description says, they're like a "gentle hug", so you shouldn't buy these expecting anything more. I'm currently lounging in a pair and have zero complaints. You could possibly size down if you want a more compressive feel, but on certain patterns you may find it distorts them or sheers out due to the extra stretching, especially the lighter pairs. If you're familiar with Lululemon, I'd say the fabric is sort of like somewhere between Nulu and Luxtreme; soft, brushed, and comfortable like Nulu, but a little more compressive, sturdy, and pill resistant like Luxtreme. It is a BRUSHED MATERIAL, so if you're looking for something slick that doesn't hold onto things like lint or sweat (or pet hair), these probably aren't for you. I imagine sweat would take a little while to dry as well. On that note, these are made of a THICKER FABRIC so are warmer and heavier than Aligns, but they're still not hot or uncomfortably heavy. Due to that, they don't feel like second skin like Aligns, so I don't agree that these are a dupe. In looks, maybe, but not feel. I just don't know if I'd recommend them for an intense outdoor workout in the high heat since they won't be as breathable as a lighter pair, but I live in Texas and was just as comfortable running around outside in these as I was in my other favorite legging brands (P'tula, Lulu, Yogalicious Lux). Most gyms are fairly chilly anyway! It just depends on your preference and if you are looking for a naked feel or something a bit heavier. Heavier means more durable, so I find these more suitable for the gym than Aligns.As for construction, all of the seams looked great on my 3 pairs and I didn't notice any sizing discrepancies between the different patterns/colors (sometimes darker colors are tighter because of the dye, which wasn't the case with these). They do have a CROTCH GUSSET that help eliminate camel toe, but every body is different, so keep that in mind! They also have a HIDDEN POCKET on the inside of the waistband. I personally prefer no pocket there because I hate seeing the outline through the pants, but considering some people find it useful, I understand why it's included. It's basically the same standard thing you see in most leggings and will fit a card and/or key.As for the patterns, my 3 pairs are all really good looking and SQUAT PROOF! I've reviewed lots of other leggings on and off Amazon and I'm SUPER picky about that and don't put up with sheerness. I actually purchased a black pair of the Colorfulkoala leggings with the pockets (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G55R2LB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and had to return them because they were so sheer, so I was relieved to see that wasn't an issue with these. You can check out my review on those as well. That is one big plus with patterns is that it's much harder to see any sheerness since the pattern general helps disguise what is underneath, including cellulite. The black and white brush stroke pair is white on the inside so turns a little white while squatting, but the two camo pairs are dark on the inside and look opaque in a full squat.As for the fit, they are so flattering! I love the slight V to the back of the waistband because it really accentuates your butt. The WAISTBAND is SEAMLESS (as in there is not an elastic band around the top - YAY!) and does a good job of smoothing your stomach out (remember, these aren't the most compressive). I have not worked out in any of mine yet, but I didn't notice them slipping down much the multiple days I've worn them running around.As for the length, I should mention these are LONG on me had a lot of extra fabric at the bottom, but since I'm fairly short, I'm used to it and don't really mind. I posted a picture of my ankle to show how they bunch on me. If you're a taller gal, you're in luck! I would still love to see them come out with a 7/8 length or choice of inseams for us shorties, but hey, I could always get them altered.Overall, for the price I think these are awesome. I wish they were slightly cheaper, but I don't think $30 is too bad. I don't think I'd get any solid colors after the bad experience I had with the pockets version, but if I find another pair of these in a pattern I love, I'll definitely be snatching them up! I hope they keep coming out with more. I'm eyeballing the two leopard prints and the new green camo prints, so if I snag any of them, I'll update with new pictures.

Me gusto mucho la tela, se siente bien la compresión y no transparenta.

fabric feels comfortable, doesn't dig in and colour close to picture

These are perfect. True to size (these are mediums) but I found them a tad long and I’m 5’2. Love the high waist and some compression.

HIgh quality product. Soft, well constructed. I'd give it 5 stars if the colour in the advertising was not so far off. (I slso bought black ones and the did get 5 stars.)

Me encantaron hasta que estaba a media rutina y veo que el sudor se nota demasiado.Si sudas mucho como yo, estos leggings no son una buena opción.
