Jeggins

leggings with all the advantages of jeans!

Roaman's One Stop Plus had ' 5 pocket straight leggings by denim 24/7. They have so much stretch, they could be the jeans used in before and after diet / exercise photos, where the woman holds the pants waist band away from her waist. They feel mostly spandex, though they do not give the percentages of Spandex to Cotton. Originally I could not imagine wearing them in the summer heat and humidity, but they turned out to be comfortable.

Roamans and One Stop Plus currently have these Jeggings with faux front pockets. They come in jet black, indigo and blue acid wash colors. They have 3 excellent ratings so far!

But I need a place to put my keys, tissues, doggy stuff, and so on.

These stretch jeans have all 5 pockets! You will find them at Roamans and One Stop Plus by Denim 24/7. They have other, perhaps comparable, denim leggings. These, compared to the Baby Phat knit jeans, apparently out of stock for good, and the regular Baby Phat plus size jeans styles I have taken to wearing, further down this page, have very little rigidity. It is like wearing leggings, with pockets, that actually block the wind.

Almost any style at One Stop Plus or their stores, like Roamans, are often on sale, or discounts are available, usually both!

I had to send the above stretch jeans back for smaller size, Twice. The front pockets were shallow and the indigo is nearer to medium blue. They came in indigo and black, in sizes 12W to 32W and seemed to be a standard item! I am glad I got them when I did, because for me, even shallow pockets are better than no or less pockets!

In my case that means pockets. After a bit of research here is what I have settled on.

I do not know if it is just me, but I started with a pair of Baby Phat skinny knit jeans, which are now out of stock, and now wear two other, regular skinny jeans by Baby Phat, near exclusively. I always have plenty of room to move! I have a pretty active life and find I could probably do yoga in any of my skinny Baby Phat jeans!

  • They look a whole lot better than the Levis I used to wear

  • Cost the same, sometimes less!

  • They never cut into me, anywhere!

Just never rule out the possibility that some casual wear can easily be worn as active wear. Their sizes are consistent, and true to their size charts!

I have been getting my Baby Phat jeans during their occasional, several hour, 50% off sales, which I post at our plus size fashion blog , as I become aware of them!

Click on these skinny jeans to go to Baby Phat. Check out their left menu for other jeans styles, and the bottom of same menu to find, (often!) $29 jeans in their sale section!

Baby Phat Jeans are the most comfy, and perhaps best looking, jeans I have worn in years! They have some stretch, 2% Spandex is mentioned in their description, the rest is cotton! I do not know if it is just the styles I pick, but they feel super soft right out of the box!

Made for exercise and an active life style!

Once you are serious about comfort while exercising I believe Junonia, their clearance closet if you also enjoy savings, and Always for Me are the places to shop. Although I have enjoyed Champion Plus fitness wear, which is available at Just My Size. You will also find links to these stores in this page's right column.

MBT footwear is heavier than normal sneakers and sandals. If you wore yours whenever you will be walking, your legs would have to develop better tone. For arch support, I feel, they simply cannot be beat!

Sports Bra in full figure sizes

Sports bras come in two varieties:

  • Compression styles, which come in size ranges and will hold your breast firmly in place, with the proper fitting style for you. Even with the proper fit, Compression sports bras can be hard to wear for more than a a few hours, and the shape they give you is such that you would not really want to anyway.
  • Non-Compression style, which come in real bra sizes, usually feature higher necklines than daily wear bras, as well as more coverage all around. These can be worn all day.

Below are two of the Best Selling Plus Size Sports Bras featured among Bare Necessities' 55 current styles. You will find a wide selection of sports bras in full figure sizes at stores these days. They all seem to be made of excellent moisture wicking, quick drying so you can workout while feeling fresh!

Compression Sports Bras

If you are full busted you may want to consider the Enell plus size sports bra below. Excellent motion control for me and I'm need a size 36HH bra. Even while jumping around on the Urban Rebounder. However, I cannot wear this, nor other compression sports bras, all day without my back hurting after a few hours. See Non-Compression Sports Bras just below if you, like me, usually just dress once a day, even if you are going to exercise.

Clicking on this bra's picture below will take you to it at Bigger Bras. They carry the Enell Sports bra in all its sizes! That means up to Enell's size 8, equal to bra sizes 50DDD, 52D/DD. You can use this Coupons / Discounts at BiggerBras.com to view their current money saving deals
