NOT Squat Proof
I bought these after hearing all of the rave reviews about a different style of Colorfulkoala leggings via several YouTubers, but because I could never snag my size in that one, I decided to give these a go since I always enjoy pockets on my leggings. I felt like they were a bit overpriced for what they are, but I was OK with it if they were as great as they were made to be.
I believe they shipped about a week after purchase, which I expected since Amazon showed they wouldn't be in stock until then, and they came packaged nicely in a little zip bag.
First impressions of the actual leggings: they are pretty dang soft. I own several pairs of Aligns and I wouldn't say these are as soft, but they're soft enough. I also love the style because of the pockets and the v seam above the butt, but most of all, I LOVE the seamless waistband. I rarely wear leggings with that elastic band up top because I just don't find them comfortable, unless I need something to be really budge proof (generally comfort > budge proof). However... When I went to take a peak at them in my bathroom mirror, my worst fear with leggings was confirmed: they are not even a little squat proof. I could literally stand in front of the mirror and clearly see the tag inside the pants (see picture). Now, if you're one of those people who doesn't care if leggings aren't completely opaque and just wear nude undies, you may be OK with these, but I have a few larger freckles on my cheeks so can't get away with leggings that aren't at least decently opaque. I purchased a medium, which is always my legging size (6 in Aligns, 8 in WU), and they fit really well. They're fairly snug without being too snug and I even have some extra room to breath. If it wasn't for that, I'd think about trying a large out, but I think they'd be too loose.
Overall these could have been great, but lack of opacity in leggings is a deal breaker for me, so these will be going back.
