@zealous_heiress Recently brought four pair as they had two for one sale. And they are very comfortable they're attractive I'm a teacher and I'm up and down all day. they fit very well on me. I'm a big girl I bought the 4XL and they are very comfortable. I bought the skinify brand. I I work out in them in the afternoon after school and I have no complaints I don't know if I burn more calories outside of the workout but it's great having something attractive that is that comfortable with the bands in it that I'm going to trust probably are working with the compression they deliver.

@zealous_heiress Do Not, I repeat, DO NOT buy skinnify resistance band leggings. Overpriced. Horrible customer service. No matter what you actually order you will get their basic, lowest resistance leggings. That is IF you get them AT ALL. They claim 5-7 business days but it takes a MONTH and you have to email them at least once because they have no real intentions of sending them. They will then drag you along for weeks refusing to reach any sort of resolution when you notify them that what you have finally received is not AT ALL what you ordered. Meanwhile, they will spam your email box daily to order leggings. They will send you advertisements to purchase their leggings through Amazon for full price, leave a 5 star review and get half your money back. The leggings themselves are poor quality. They have zero breathability. For an attempt at a fitness legging intended for exercise or all day wear, the fabric isn’t designed for it. Demanded a refund. I’ll return to update whether or not I get it. Otherwise, I’ll report them to my bank.
@leestephen Helpful. I have been mulling these over because I keep getting advertised. Something about their website seems a little sketchy. I will skip.
@leestephen I’ve bought 8 band ones they are great quality work well
They had small defect they are sending a new pair free of charge service I’ve had as been brilliant

@zealous_heiress I bought a pair of Sweetflexx and have worn them everyday for a week. I feel no extra resistance and really the only work out I get is getting them on and off. I will give them a month but as yet they just seem like overpriced Spanx

@kewiesterrock I bought two pair and love them. I use them for day-to-day wear, not for working out.
@zealous_heiress They do not look like regular leggings, the lines going down the middle are extremely noticeable and ugly. The XS fit very big and sizing didn’t match. Wouldn’t recommend at all.
@zealous_heiress I have several pair of the Skinnify resistance leggings. They are nice but I hate the huge logo on the back waistband. It is about an inch tall (the band is 3 inches) and a little over 4inches wide. On a size medium. That logo consumes about 30% of the waistband. Some of newer models have the logo on the front side. I have written to the company and the response was the size of the logo is minimal. It is not minimal and I don’t really like being a walking billboard. There are other products that don’t have such huge logos which I will buy in the future. For reference the bank waistband measurement on a medium is 12 inches, the logo is almost 5 inches wide and about 1 inch tall.
@zealous_heiress I just bought Sweetflex, I went for a 4 mile run in them today, it did feel a little harder but it’s difficult to tell if it was the leggings or just being tired, or the fact that it’s super cold. I’ll let ya know tomorrow 
you can feel the resistance when just walking around.

I don’t know how much resistance they provide only because I didn’t feel much more sore than I usual do when I run. But the workout did feel harder!
