A place to talk about underwear in general that doesn't fit in thongs or bikinis.

Exactly! And its great that you wore them to the theater! Did you wear shorts over them? That's what just about every guy at my gym does! I've worn leggings (with no shorts on over them) to church, to the grocery store, doctors' offices, the gym, and countless other places. I've gotten positive comments about them; no one has yet to say anything negative to me about them.

I never wear shorts over my leggings. I think that is a very silly look, at least for me. I don’t see the need to cover what’s already been covered.

Yes, exactly! Glad you got the right idea! I couldn't agree more!

I have two pairs of the Wundertrain 25" pocket leggings. (Their t-shirts are nice--especially when you receive them as gifts.) Amazing, but I don't like wearing them around all day after the gym. Have a belly, so I prefer the higher waistband. Apparently the saleswoman at Lululemon diverts men to the women's Lululemon leggings as they don't carry them in the local store (they also have a lower rise). They are pricey, but oh my god, they are durable, pass a squat test, and feel great working out in. They are also very durable and last a long time.

I also have some Adidsas print 3.4 leggings with waistband--almost a bluish white tie die. They are not see through. Though I have tried a number of other Adidas leggings on that were see through and either did not buy them or returned them.

I also have a pair of Title 9 Women's Crash Leggings for Winter - they are most excellent. I wear them for hiking and around the house in winter. I also have a pair of their soft-shell leggings. Not bad.

I also have CW-X leggings that are great sometimes for recovery or when I need a lot of compression. I feel like they do not breather, so I do not wear them a lot. Except, I have their winter leggings, and they are great for hiking, layering, or around the house. I could wear those around the house for winter.

I don't find some of the leggings as breathable as I would like in warmer months, so I have tended to wear joggers or just thongs around the house in warmer months.
I have some two pairs of leggings from the men’s line. They fit well enough for lounging and errands but the rise is too low for exercise. My only issue with the women’s side of Lululemon is that they all have the vertical center seam, which lies between uncomfortable and unflattering.

I have wore thongs for many years. Just in the last few years I got into tights and leggings. I like leggings better but I can find more tights with an open front and rear. I like to wear a thong under them. Oyolan makes open front and rear ones. What I really want to find is open front and back leggings with a rear thong strap. Has anyone seen them before?

My issue is always I am not a fan of the seam running up the middle of the front (love the seam running up the middle of the back) it just makes it hard to position. Do you put the goods one side, split them across both sites, put the balls one site and the old fella the other?
You hit the nail on the head for me. I don’t like that center seam either. It’s just not a flattering look. I would like to buy from the women’s side of Lululemon but all of their styles have that darn seam.

It’s not a lack of confidence either. I regular my men’s Lululemon leggings to the gym and to run errands. I will wear scrunch leggings to gym classes, yoga and Pilates. I’ve even worn pouch leggings (Real Men Apparel) to the gym. But I can’t do the center seam.

I really like the quality in my Lulus but I do with the rise was higher.

I have worn Lu Lu Lemon womens leggings and panties to gym to workout for long time. Never wear shorts over.
Two times in last month, me and GF were going to late night movies. She came out in those booty sweat pant shorts with half her cheeks hanging out, She always wears a G string with them also, it is insane turn on. I go to change and her black leggings are on the top of the clothes pile. I grab them and t shirt and put them on. I already had on a Lu Lu lemon thong. I came out. She looked at me and said wow you are getting frisky, I said they are comfy and I look good and it is late at night. She said I do not care, it looks good to me. I got looks at movie from the employees and two men looked at me weird.
I wear them to family dinners now and to grocery etc.

Nice. What did you change out of to put on the leggings?


I’m fairly comfortable wearing my men’s lululemon leggings (black and navy sets) out and about. Now I’m challenging myself to wear grey butt scrunch leggings. The goal for upcoming week is to wear them for the booty workout class at my gym. Thankfully it’s a 6am class. So hopefully that means that the few people out are serious about the gym and are already doing glute exercises.
