Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love yoga pants. I'm a stay-at-home mom and basically live in yoga pants for a large portion of the year (I live in Wisconsin). As long as the pants look fairly decent, I have no problems going out in public wearing them and almost always run errands in them. I love to be comfortable and my post-baby figure loves yoga pants as well. Last year I bought some inexpensive yoga pants from a local store and I should've known they wouldn't last when they were see-through and ripped at the seams within less than a year. Obviously I was in the market for new yoga pants when I searched on here and came upon these. I hadn't known that Spalding made clothes; I only knew they made basketballs and shoes but I figured they were a good brand to take a chance on with these pants. For reference, I am 5'6", range from 160 to 165 pounds (depending on the day), and have average-length legs with athletic calves and thunder thighs. I have an inseam of 31 inches and usually wear a size 10 in jeans or a large in pants so I ordered the black pants in large for these. When they arrived, I tried them on right away to make sure they fit and they do! The pants are a great fit for me, good length and are very comfortable. They aren't too tight in any area so I don't feel self-conscious. These particular pants are a bootleg style so they are similar to bootcut pants in that they have some flare at the bottom. I like this style since they flare out over the tops of my shoes and slippers. The top of the pants has a wide waistband but not one of the foldover waistbands that were in most of my previous yoga pants. Personally, I find the foldover waistbands to be annoying since they never stay in place so I was thrilled to discover these pants. The tops of these pants sit at my belly button. There is a small logo on the left leg, near my upper thigh, which is usually hidden by my shirts. These pants are made in Vietnam of 92% cotton/8% spandex. Many reviewers have stated these pants shrink after washing and drying them so I make sure to take extra caution when washing them. The washing instructions say machine wash cold and tumble dry low. I typically wash these on a normal cycle with warm water and hang them up to dry since I don't want to take the chance that I will shrink them. I've had these pants now for about a month and a half and they are holding up great, as far as the length goes. On the first day I wore them after washing, they started pilling between my thighs since they rub together but since then, haven't gotten any worse and trust me, I wear these A LOT! I feel these pants are slightly see-through only if the material is pulled tight against my body. Otherwise, I hardly notice it at all. My panty lines show through too but I am typically at home or wear shirts that cover most of my rear so that doesn't bother me too much. I'm so happy I found these pants because I love them! They fit me well, are fairly soft, and very comfortable. They have held up well since I got them and the length hasn't changed at all since I decided to hang-dry them. These pants aren't super thick like sweat pants but they aren't thin either and I feel they are good for the price. I can wear them at home, while running errands and even out to dinner. I love them enough that I started with just the black pair and also purchased the navy and charcoal colors as well. I like the charcoal and black colors best since I can pair them with any color shirt but I regularly have the navy pair in my rotation too. If you are in the market for new yoga pants, I recommend purchasing these!
