I LOVE these leggings! I consider myself a bit of a leggings expert, as I wear them just about all day, every day, for my job as an in home Nanny. I have tried them all, including Lululemon, Athleta, 90 Degrees, Aerie, Old Navy, C9, Under Armour, and Victoria’s Secret just to name a few. I’m a frequent wearer of Phisockat leggings that I buy from Amazon too. These leggings are comparable to other high end brands, and I feel they are worth the price tag. Especially when you need a pair that are going to hold up to plenty of use.Pockets are a must in my leggings! Having deep pockets on each leg comes in handy for holding my phone, but also everything you can think of when working with babies and toddlers - markers, bottles, burp cloths, etc. I much prefer having things in leg pockets over the pockets in a scrub top.Compression - these are high waisted and slim me in the tummy region, which is another top must in leggings. I especially loved the silicone grips on the inner waistband, which helped keep them in place. Getting down on the floor with kids, and then back up again dozens of times a day requires pants that don’t need to be constantly pulled up. I could expect the same performance when doing squats at the gym (which I do not, but if I did…haha)The fabric is thick and not at all see through. I’ve already washed these leggings once in cold water, and then allowed them to air dry. They look perfect. The seams are well sewn and there aren’t any loose threads. I’m 5’7” 170 lbs and typically wear a size medium in most leggings. These are true to size and hold me in without being too loose or tight.Don’t hesitate to buy these leggings, I highly recommend!
