Anyone tried blanqi leggings? They're on sale for "black friday" and I'm trying to decide if they're worth 50 bucks with shipping. I'm kinda leaning no but if someone thinks they're amazing I might try them.
I'm 3 months along right now so I'm looking at the contour ones to wear now and after baby

i LOVE them. Have the high waist postpartum ones from 4 years ago and just bought a new pair. They are so thick and you can fold them down so they aren't as high but suck you in.
Also did the maternity ones during pregnancy which I liked less (preggoleggings.com does a pretty good cheaper knockoff of this style).
The ones i do NOT like are the sport support maternity/post athletic leggings (these might be what you're looking at). Semi pregnant, super pregnant and post-partum, they constantly fall down so it's not that my stomach is the wrong size for them!

@lioneyes: thick enough to wear as pants? I was considering the sport ones because thats what I usually wear to ensure I'm covered if my shirt isn't long enough...

@lioneyes: thanks! Maybe I'll wait and get a pair for postpartum because I was looking at the sport ones, although they have new ones that supposedly fixed the falling down, but I saw reviews that said they cut into the bump and then were uncomfortably tight after baby.
@Silva: i also totally wear leggings as pants so I'm always concerned about this. They're expensive to not be able to try on. And I hate paying to ship things when I don't keep them

I wear all of them as pants. Sport ones are definitely thicker but the falling down (and pulling your underwear with it, especially if you try to do anything athletic!) is not my fave. Wearing the foldover postpartum today and they are not at all see through.

I have a few pairs of the postpartum high waisted leggings. I buy them only during the Black Friday sale. Also have the pull down nursing tank. I like them all a lot! I’m getting my sister a pair even though she is 7 years postpartum! 🤣
Eta: when you say “wearing them as pants”, do you mean wearing them in a way that is not athletic clothes? I totally wear them regularly with longer shirts or with long cardigans. I love a white tank and a black Rachel pally cardigan. I copied it from the buru website.

I have the new sport ones and they still fall down, which sucks bc they are cute and the material is so comfy. I have the Motherhood Bounceback leggings and love them for postpartum- thick enough to wear as pants. You can’t wear them during pregnancy but I couldn’t wear the blanqi ones either.
