    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @jksims Yup! It's a bit silly, but because we don't make individual commission and are never supposed to pressure a guest to purchase anything, it's not exactly sales either. Our guest-facing role--per our job description--is to get to know our guests and how they like to sweat, and teach them...

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @justtrying25 People respond with “just browsing” all the time and we leave them alone. I think we just preferred to start a conversation because about half the time, the “just browsing” people did actually buy something. The problem with that is unless they were already well-versed in lulu’s...

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @server21 Haha yes, we get that a lot!! If you ever go in-store, you'll probably notice Educators asking questions like "what brings you in?" or "what activity are you shopping for?" We don't make commission, so those questions are genuinely to help guests narrow down which leggings to shop for...

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @reggiekatt I think any legging that is good for "training" is good for lifting. In the tights I mentioned above specifically, Wunder Unders (in Luxtreme), Train Times, and All the Right Places (these are esp popular among gym-goers) are great for lifting. When it comes to lifting, you can...

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @fishn4 You are so very welcome--thank you for the (long) read! :) I would recommend the Wunder Unders in Luxtreme fabric! The Luxtreme fabric is very fast-drying and sweat-wicking. If you're worried about sweat stains, black is definitely the way to go. Any Luxtreme fabric pant would...

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @tried_true The Youtuber HopeScope made a video (and still regularly makes videos on) lululemon dupes and I actually concur with everything she's mentioned! I will say, however, I have only tried the recommended dupes she's mentioned on low-impact activity leggings--notably the Aligns--but...

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @katie4469 Happy to help! As far as I know, none of the leggings above have such a pocket. The Speed Ups do have a small zippered pocket in the back, but I would say it can only fit a credit card and a key or two. There could be new seasonal styles released that may feature a larger pocket in...

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @wwbb I only worked at lululemon for about 9 months so I can't attest to quality over time from an employee point of view, but during my time there, we've had several people come in and tell us that the quality of some of our pieces nowadays aren't what they used to be. We pass along this...

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @undercover7 Hahaha agreed! I think pilling in the thighs is one of the most common complaints we got. I feel like over time they definitely pilled, but they did better than the Aligns. Wish there was a magical solution to this! :(

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @novusaugustus No embarrassing question here! We get that a lot :) And we get repairs for the inner thigh area a bunch too! Cause let's be real--most women don't have a thigh gap and if you have two legs that can walk ... well, friction. Unfortunately, Aligns are the most delicate of the...

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @gudjen Yes!! I will say repairs of holes in non-seam areas are slightly more noticeable (i.e won’t look brand spanking new). However, they should disclose that to you and will send it into repair if you’d like to proceed.

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @phroderick Hi! All Aligns come high-rise unless you’re referring to a super high-rise one (which was released after I left so I don’t have any insight on). If you’re worried about purchasing them final sale, I would contact one of the online support with your issue, ask for their stance, and...

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @joychristmas Yes! Super buttery soft and no compression. Aligns are our stretchiest pants--people who don't fit normal lululemon sizes can often fit into Aligns. I recommended Aligns for all our to-be mothers too :)

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @catholicgirl201 They should all be squat proof (although tbh, I've heard of people have some issues with certain lighter colors), and if they're not, I would recommend sizing up first. The Aligns are more lightweight and naked-sensation while the Wunder Unders in Luxtreme are the most...

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @cblack34 YAY! Hope you love your first pair :) Yes--all the pants with pockets either come with a drawstring waistband inside (so you can tie if necesssary) or are just super tight around the waist (i.e. All the Right Places and Speed Up). I have personally never had a problem of my leggings...

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @wiltedflower I suggest the Wunder Unders in the Luxtreme fabric. Luxtreme is great at withstanding friction and high-intensity activities. It's also sweat-wicking and quick-drying. In the Wunder Under style, there are no extra seams or frills that would get in the way of the rope and the Wunder...

    @giuseppeverdi Yup ... they're basically advising a leggings load, which I honestly find kinda ridiculous and am guilty of never doing.

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @deadordyingwanderer Aligns use the most delicate fabric, so unfortunately, pilling is something we heard a lot of guests mention. Any kind of friction (even the natural kind between our thighs when we walk, sadly) will induce pilling. To extend the life of the Aligns, wash them in cold water...

    Comprehensive lululemon Legging Guide for an Ex-Employee

    @suegaire I actually have similar stats as you! I wear a 2 in Aligns and 4 in Speed Ups. I own both 2s and 4s in the rest of the styles of leggings depending on how hugged I want the leggings to be on a certain day lol.

    @gr8fl Yup, 6 is the equivalent to a US women's medium. Lighter colors are more prone to being see-through, so we usually advise sizing up.
