What are these tight stretchy pants I see women wearing at stores? Spanx? I was at a health food store and four women in those within eyesight. It's been around for years, but this trend is not fading. Easy to see the shape of your legs and butt. I'm telling you, this is quite a nice trend. I'm not complaining. But what's going on? Why do you like them?

It's because they will fit no matter how much weight you gain. Personally, I don't like it.

In my observation, usually women who wear these are very attractive.

But it's not that different from if they painted themselves from the waist down and then went out in public.

I guess if you've go it, flaunt it.

Really? Where do you live or what is your idea of very attractive?
lol...I am glad you feel that way though. I am a woman and probably way to critical. But more times than not, the women I see wearing these clothes are usually overweight and can't really fit normal pants.

Well it certainly allows a man to examine the goods before purchase.

I live in central Texas, and my idea of attractive is fit and slim. I'm a woman too, and often find myself being judgmental.

And yes, women I see in spandex pants tend to be attractive.

Although they're basically naked. NOTHING is left to the imagination.

The place I saw four at is near a gym. So that explains that. But I see them at other stores quite often.

Do you mean with a short top or a long top that covers the butt?

OP, you mean leggings? I love them and wear them all the time because they fit and they're comfortable. I love to wear them with long baggy T-shirts, but sometimes that's not an option and so people will see my thunder thighs because yes, I'm heavy. You'd probably call me obese (I could stand to lose about 100 lbs).

So yeah, I'm one of those people everyone complains about because my pants are too tight, they show off my fat butt and my jiggly thighs, and on and on and on.

Know what? If people have so little self control they can't tear their eyes away from my frightful leggings, then tough darts on them. If someone doesn't like the pants I wear, they're more than welcome to accompany me to a store and PAY for the pants they think I should be wearing. If they're not going to do that, they can just shut up.

Meantime, my pants don't bother me and neither does anyone's judgmental attitude. Don't like what you see? Then don't look. And one other thing: if people are going to be rude about what others are wearing in public, don't snark behind their backs or be such a coward about it. Have the guts to just go up to the person and tell them, "Your pants offend me. So don't wear them anymore."





(See how ridiculous it sounds?)

Because they're so comfortable. I started wearing them about 40 years ago. Nothing beats them for comfort and ease of mobility and range of movement.
