No matter what I do, I’m just not the kind of baby who’s got back. Even though I’m curvy (I’m 5-foot-7 and usually wear a size 12), it’s never translated over to my glutes. Maybe it’s my love of junk food that sealed my fate, or the fact that I spend so much of my time sitting at a desk and not exercising as much as I know I should. It’s basically like two slabs of white bread smooshed together, side-by-side. I don’t want to mince words here-I hate the way my butt looks. But I don’t recommend working out while wearing them-ever. If anything, I will say the leggings were fun, and I love casually wearing them around my home for a little confidence boost. Like I said earlier, the leggings are quite loose, so I have to pull them up throughout my bodyweight workout, which distracts me from getting in the zone. Working out with them wasn’t great, either. After just one wash, I’ve noticed some pilling on some of the ruffles, so I don't think they’ll hold up in the long run. Plus, the $30 leggings aren’t the best quality. But the leggings might have done too good of a job, and I don’t think I would wear them in the real world for fear of the ever-annoying catcalling I’ve gotten on the streets of Boston. I walked around the house with them and my roommates instantly noticed them, remarking on my butt and asking if I got the TikTok leggings. The scrunch is well placed to give a rounder look to my cheeks for that perfect peach look. That said, the leggings elevate my booty to a level I could only image Barry’s giving me. They’re incredibly stretchy and I feel like they don't suck everything in as well as my Lululemon leggings. I got the leggings in a size small (I usually prefer my leggings tight and form-fitting), but I still found them to be too big for my liking.

Squats and good genetics have blessed me with a rear end that I’m proud of-but it could always use a little definition, which is why I wanted to try out these famous TikTok leggings.

I'll wear these around the house for sure (but maybe not in public). Just 'slightly above average' good, i.e., the slight booty plumping does not make up for the flimsy material and uncomfortable fit. But not like 'OMG Becky, look at her butt' good. The only plus? They make my butt look nice. I also don't feel like the leggings provide any support or compression for higher impact activities or running. (The scrunch-butt effect is not subtle at all.) Second, I had to constantly pull up the waistband-it's too loose and falls down often-and adjust the front to minimize the camel toe. First, I felt very uncomfortable, like everyone was staring at my backside the entire time. Things got worse when I wore them to the gym. Even more appalling, the center seam creates a very dramatic-and very unwelcome-camel-toe effect in the front. The fabric feels very thin and low quality and the ruching in the rear feels like a mild wedgie that you can't get rid of. Unfortunately, said help will not be coming in the form of these leggings.įrom the second I put the leggings on, I hated them. I lift heavy (squats and deadlifts included!) five times a week so, not to brag, but I have a pretty good butt already. Given my love of leggings, I was very excited to try these out. I own over 40 pairs, so I can confidently call myself an expert in the field of all pants stretchy and spandex-y. There are people who like leggings-and then there's me.
