BALEAF Women's High Waisted Yoga Pants - Tummy Control Workout Leggings with Pockets, Squat Proof & Breathable for Running, Gym & Lounge

Wow these are great yoga pants. The waistband is wide and stretchy so there is no pinching of the tummy. I have grown so sick of anything pinchy in the tummy that I now refuse to wear anything that isn’t really super comfortable and have given away any item of clothing that isn’t perfectly comfortable. Life is too short for creepy tight or uncomfortable clothes. The design of these pants is excellent because the high waste helps hold your muffin in the right place. Designed with correct “tilt” in pelvis, (angle of the femur from the ball joint socket in the pelvis is a different angle for women than it is for men) shows a lot of expertise went into this design. As a physician in middle age, I look for outfits I can put together without a lot of effort that will feel comfortable all day and still look correct from a fashion standpoint. I like wearing dresses and skirts because they give me a freer movement than pants, however bare legs don’t work (friction and not enough coverage when sitting in a conference style seat across from anyone who should not catch anything like a peek under that skirt - sends way the wrong message). Because of the boa constrictor factor, all pantyhose are out of the question. This product works as a type of “legging” I can wear under a skirt or dress. These provide just enough coverage and friction control without strangulation, just enough jiggle management without the cumbersome boxy feeling of pants. They don’t get hot or itchy and there is no bulky zipper or buttons like you would have in pants. I don’t generally think of my back side as my best “assert” and I think it’s rather unprofessional to wear anything like leggings with the exposed booty curves available for inspection at work. It is my job to examine patients, not to be examined by them. So in a skirt or a dress, wearing these I can get appropriate coverage without the binding bullones of pants, I can still move around comfortably. No need to worry about giving a free show while seated across from someone in the workplace. Bayleaf has nice colors that look good with existing outfits I already own. Plus they work great as yoga pants too. I will never wear cheap low rise slippage prone yoga pants again. These are a really nice product. Will buy the Bayleaf brand in the future. The size range and colors as well as choice of regular ankle length or capris give you a lot of choice. Well worth the money. These are really not expensive for what you get. I’ve purchased about half a dozen pairs so far. They are super versatile and can really expand a wardrobe to take you from summer to winter by providing a skin-covering layer that will let me keep wearing skirts and dresses even when it it starts to get chilly. But they are not too hot and somehow, the skin can still breathe, even though the fabric is think enough to prevent visible butt crack exposure in a yoga class for the self conscious cat cow girl. I bought them initially to use as yoga pants but found they expand the range of my existing wardrobe dramatically. Covering the legs at work indoors without overheating, but making the transition from summer into fall and winter is great. Season spanning items like these pants save money and time, letting you wear summer clothes past the time you would otherwise have to pack them up. These add versatility. And they are much better designed than other yoga pants. I’m planning to buy more pairs in more colors.
