Running tights that stay up

[Anonymous]

I wear a 8 in pants - small waist, big butt, big thighs. I have tried so many brands of running tights and they all slide down as I run and I’m doing that awful hike-‘em-up trot. My most functional pair is an ancient men’s pair from Nike (sorry husband, hope you didn’t need them) with a drawstring that I can cinch tightly. But it’s not at all comfortable! What have you found that works better?

Similar body type here. I have a pair of light compression leggings from Athleta that have an internal drawstring. I can't remember the style name, sorry, but they are mid rise and do stay up quite well. Some Prana leggings also work well; the waist runs smaller and is a more rigid material than most other leggings I own.

I love my Swift Speed from Lululemon. I know they're expensive, but I was replacing my cheaper pants so often, it was worth it for the splurge.

Yep - second PP above. Athleta running tights with an internal drawstring. They are the only ones I can keep up.

OP here - I can’t find such a product on their website, wonder if they’ve been discontinued ugh!

I like leggings with more of a cottony feel than slippery. The slippery ones do tend to slip down. Zella high waist live in leggings are my favorite.

Also, try wearing full coverage cotton underwear under them, not a thong or anything silky. It gives them something to grip onto.

I learned about this brand on these boards: CRZ yoga on amazon. Their leggings are very high waisted and have an internal elastic drawstring you can pull and knot easily. They are the only leggings I have that stay on my waist through a run or very sweaty barre class. Everything else, including my $100 pairs from Lululemon and athlete, will start to roll or flip eventually.

These are at the ones I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091TNV2GF/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0

I have several Marika leggings and they stay. I don’t wear them for running but not for any other reason than that I got them after getting tights I love for running.

For running specifically I have both New Balance and Puma high waist tights that I never have to hike up.

I use Baleaf, on a DCUM rec, and they work fine.

The Rainier tights definitely have it. They are for colder weather and truly excellent. Once spring hits, check again. They usually have warmer weather running tights as well, but I don’t see them right now.

lululemon and athleta are the the only ones that stay up for me.

I like the wonder train from Lulu. There is also an internal drawstring.

+1 to Lululemon. Same body type as you, the best leggings I've ever had. Buy what initially seems like one size too small. It's not.

I probably posted about these. I love them. I have the long ones for winter and the bike shorts for summer. They don’t move at all. And they have a pocket for my phone!

Athleta's Ultimate Tights are good. They stay in place but have an internal drawstring if you need it.

I like the Ultimate Stash Pocket tights because I can put my phone in the side pocket - although the weight of the phone may cause the pants to slip down.
