Does anyone know a man who is involved in a MLM scheme? Men don't fall for this shit.

if people were fighting over the plain leggings, why not make more plain leggings?

I believe it's because they do runs of 5000 leggings at a time, and thus they can claim "limited edition"! And it drives prices up. Even though they have run out of cute prints and now are left with the most bizarre awful ones

Who the hell would care if your pants are "limited edition"? Craziness!

Clearly LLR doesn't care about the product or consultants. If they did, they would not let anyone who wants in sign up get in. Instead, they'd see what the market coverage is and sign up another consultant if the coverage was low. Also, they would do less of the ugly prints and allow consultants to select sizes. I get randomly giving out the prints, I think that's a great model, but it breaks down when they put out so many ugly ones. Runs of only 5K? That's ridiculous for a national clothing brand. If a print is popular and will drive sales, make more of it. Duh. I feel like with some tweaking to their business model, it would have had some more staying power. But instead, the owners and other higher-ups are greedy and liked the big $ instead of long-term brand stability. I know someone who got in early and is really high up in the pyramid. They're raking in a lot of money. DH and I shake our heads and wonder what their plan is when it all goes belly up.

How many pairs of leggings do people need? Surely, these consultants realize the limitations of the product if they can't keep reselling to the same clientele.

Several of my work colleagues sell this crap on the side. I've always thought to myself, "WHY???"

It probably seems like easy extra income.

I figured the hideous prints were advertising. Everyone can tell when you are wearing LulaRoe!

Like another poster, I don't have the body to wear this stuff out of the house, so I never got into this trend. My sister likes them but wears them as pajamas.

I have relatives or friends in all of those states and at least in their towns, the market doesn't seem to be as saturated. I see posts they share of the pop-up stores having 200+ comments on people wanting to order x,y,z items.

But I feel like trends reach some of those places later, so what is passe here is just starting to ramp up there.

I wouldn't be surprised if the people commenting on those posts are also consultants. My cousin pulls this scam with Nerioum. I click on the profiles of all the dumbasses commenting on the great bargains and how great the product is, and they're all in the Nerioum cult.

A manager at my firm also does this with R&F. She posts to FB all the time, and then all the comments are obviously from fellow "consultants," trying to drum up business. "OH, your lashes look so beautiful! Can you tell me more about this product? Where can I get it?" SO obvious and embarrassing.

I feel bad for them. It's a lot of money to have wasted

Because part of the marketing tactic was creating some hysteria over "hard to find" prints (or really, plain prints). The more women would compete to find these special items, the easier it was to unload the ugly shit, and everyone spent more money than planned.

So basically, Beanie Babies?

Yes. Scarcity was a big piece of their business model.

Serves them right.

Several of the images show rips in the butt. So poor quality on top of being ugly .
