My in-laws are begging for my Christmas list. I've been considering splurging on a pair of the famous Wunder Unders for a while, so I'm thinking of asking for those.
I've always been more of a quantity over quality kinda gal, so most of my current workout gear is from target or Marshall's.
Would you recommend lululemon? Does it hold up? I run, do yoga, barre, etc. I want the wunder unders so I can wear them as leggings too. I'm lazy like that.

I love my Wunder Unders and Groove pants and they are from 2010 so they do hold up!

I have quite a few pieces from lulu and one pair of pants I've had since 2007. They still look brand new. I love them. I think they are worth it.

Yes.
I worked full-time at lululemon for about 9 months between undergrad and grad school (this was 2004/05). Obviously I got to collect a TON of their clothes and I still wear them all. If you follow the washing instructions religiously (wash in cold water, hang to dry, don't wash with socks or towels, as that will cause pilling) they will still look like new 8 years later as mine do 
Actually, thanks to lulu, I wash almost all my clothes following those same instructions and my clothes last way longer and barely show any wear and tear....the dryer is so tough on fabrics.

Good to know! I'll take good care of them!
Do you find the wunder unders sheer? I love leggings but I can't find a pair that are completely opaque. I'd love to be able to not worry about seeing my butt if my shirt rides up.

I LURVE LL! Even my husband has a pair of LL sweatpants and they're his favorite lounge pants. He actually understands the high price tag and never says anything when I buy a new pair of pants or something. They're so flattering and always comfy:)

@LinzR: If they're the right size they shouldn't be sheer or shiny. I love my Wunder Unders! If you venture out, beware of the styles with diamond-shaped gussets. I love my pre-2012 pants, but am having a hard time now finding anything that doesn't give me camel toe thanks to them changing the gusset from a triangle to a diamond shape.

I have been wanting a pair of wunder unders as well but some of the reviews indicate that the quality has gone down recently due to a redesign.. Can anyone speak to that?

@spaniellove: these are the style I was planning on purchasing. No info on the gusset that I can see. Any ideas? Sizing wise, I usually wear a 0 so was planning on ordering a 2. I wish I could try them on first but there are no locations close.

@mrsjyw: can I use her discount? 
congratulations, by the way. He's beautiful!

@LinzR: It kind of sounds like the newer version isn't the same as what I have and what everyone here is thinking of...so I guess it is possible it might be sheer regardless of size.

@PrincessBaby: My husband totally has a pair of sweat pants and work out shorts and work out shirt, he LOVES THEM. When we're at home he doesn't wear anything else.

Chiming in that YES it's worth it! I have gone through numerous cheaper Target pants but my lulu skirt is still kicking strong after, um....3 years.

@hergreenapples: I worked at lululemon during grad school in 2005/6 :). I totally agree about following the washing instructions. We would have so many people come in with fuzzy pants because they would wash their lululemon gear with their pink bathrobes.
I definitely think lulu gear is worth the price and if you run into quality issues (not just normal wear and tear), don't be shy about going into a store and letting them know.

I got two pairs of capri pants there last year and now I never want to wear any of my other work out pants. They shouldn't be sheer or shiny-- their online sizing actually says if it shiny, it's too tight so go up one size. I wear the same size I wear at the Gap or Loft, if that helps.
Your butt will never look better than it does in Lululemon pants, seriously.
@PrincessBaby: What lounge pants does you DH like? Mine is asking for some for Christmas and if I'm going to get him $100 sweatpants, they'd better be awesome.

@Sammyfab: Too funny that we both worked there and around the same time. It was a lot of fun!
