After two weeks the crotch had started pulling. Now only after having these leggings one month the pilling is so bad i can feel it when I walk. I love everything else about these leggings except this fundamental issue.

Living in Wisconsin makes long pants a bit of a necessity for working out in the winter. I’ve tried a few other brands which have been ok, but I was surprisingly thrilled at how well these have worked for me. For reference, I’m 5’4, 185 lbs sz 12, muscular lower body and I ordered a large. The high waste on these put them just above my belly button which ended up being a great spot as they stay in place during a workout … meaning I’m not constantly pulling them up (I think slightly lower and they would be in a position where the top may have flipped/ rolled with any hinging workouts). Most importantly they passed the squat test and you can’t see any skin through them! I’ve ordered 4 different colors and they’ve held up well over the past 4 months. Wish there were more colors!

Really nice fabric and fit, comfy and form fitting but not compression tight. I am 5’4 with short legs and a long torso, they fit me like full length leggings, exactly what I was looking for. I am a 10 UK, the size S-M in these fit me well, no awkward bunching or creases anywhere. I now have these in black, olive, and navy and they are all squat proof.
I love the seams on these, they are in very flattering places particularly the curves over the bum and the bottom of the legs, it makes a big difference in how flattering these look compared to leggings with straight lines there.
My other leggings preferences are gapfit, lulu, and under armour – I like these about the same as my lulu’s, very similar fit and a nice substitute for less cost. As other reviewers have said they are not the same as the soft lulu fabric, this is different but they are very comfortable, light, and soft.
If I could change one thing it would be the phone pocket placement, like many brands they are putting them in the waistband for exercise safety but I much prefer an external side pocket for daily low/no impact sports, e.g. these are for yoga but I’d bet a lot of people wear them around the house, I certainly will. Unless it’s for training or running I really don’t see the point of it being hidden away and it’s inconvenient to wrestle your phone out each time you need to look at it.

I’m so happy I found these leggings!! I read a post about leggings similar to a high end brand and came across Core10. I love how they are squat proof and very flattering. The don’t roll down while doing HIIT. Currently have a pink and navy blue pair and just finished ordering one in merlot.

I could not wait for my favorite leggings to come back in stock. Ordered 3 pairs and was disappointed to find that they are completely different than the original core 10 nearly naked leggings. No longer buttery soft, these are more of a shiny, compression material that rolls down.

Feel: Silky feel with a flat wide seem that is just as comfortable as the fabric. Fit: Compression in the calf area, yet not in thigh, crotch and waist which made it comfortable and easy to move through a workout. These leggings did sag in the crotch area a bit, and the high waist folded down throughout exercise. I caught myself adjusting the fit 3-4 times throughout. Moisture wicking- This lightweight fabric breathes well allowing for the legs to feel dry, although the opposite was true for the waist and crotch area. Overall Look: Flattering non sheer design which hugs every curve, allowing your to feel confident in every yoga pose.

I have several pair of LuLu and Athleta leggings. My favorites are LuLu’s Wonder Under with Luxtreme. However I’m getting tired of paying $98 for leggings that have seems that are coming unraveled. These are so similar in feeing but better quality for 1/2 the price. For reference I need leggings that stay up, aren’t paper thin but I don’t get overheated in. I do o CrossFit type workout so I move a lot and get pretty sweaty. These are not see through and don’t show sweat. I love them and will be ordering more pairs! For reference I’m 5’5”” 140lb athletic build with a bigger bottom and ordered a small.

Okay, so I’ll start with the good. These leggings are a beautiful jade green, buttery soft, with a super high and comfortable waist. Super comfy.
Disappointingly I thought they had pockets, but that’s my fault for not checking thoroughly.
The bad: well, they aren’t cropped if you are 5’4″. They’re actually long. Full length and bunchy at the ankles for me. But that isn’t the biggest issue. They are NOT sweat proof. I was at the gym and noted sweat marks on my knees and thought, oh, I must have gotten sweaty on the elliptical. Then it dawned on me. Like most people, I get butt sweat. I realized I probably had a wet patch on my butt, and of course, the yoga class just let out and there was 20 people between me and the washroom. Eventually I got there and found a massive dark sweat patch, circular at the bottom then long up the crack. Yes, I had a sweat penis on my butt. I was mortified.
If you sweat (which you will if you want these for the gym), do NOT buy any of the light colours, it WILL show. Now the leggings I bought for the gym, I can’t wear to the gym. Totally defeats why I bought them. Hopefully seller notices this and gets better sweat-proof fabrics or notes it in the listing. Seriously, Walmart make sweatproof leggings with pockets and a drawstring for the same price or less.

OMG. These are amazing. I like them so much better than some of my leggings that cost 100+. My favorite thing about them is the wide waist band with no elastic at the top to dig in. I’m 5’5 and 120 the xs fit perfectly. I have a longer torso and shorter legs so the 7/8 fit me like full length. Perfect for interval training. I prefer more compression for long run so I don’t wear them for that.

I love these. I’m a lulu loyalist but I always wear through my black aligns and they are expensive at about 100$ a pop. These are comfy as aligns to me, similar naked feeling but the fabric does not feel like the nulu fabric. It’s soft and thin but not buttery. However I love them and esp at 1/2 the price of lululemon. FYI I am 135lbs and 5’5” and small fits perfectly

I am an avid Amazon Prime member and while searching for athletic wear came across the Core 10 brand athletic wear. I purchased on pair to try and have really liked them thus far. The material is thin but squat proof. They do NOT feel like Lululemon’s Nulu fabric but are comfortable and stay put. I’ve worn them for an aerial class and a hot yoga class. They stretch extremely well with movement and I don’t walk out of practice looking like I peed my pants. High recommend these for an affordable alternative to other brands.
For reference: I am 5’3, 110 lbs, typically wear a 0/2 in panda and purchased an x-small.

These have to be one of the most beautiful feeling leggings I have ever bought. I love the material. It is soft without being too soft for exercise or yoga class. That being said I find I think I ordered them a bit big as I am about a 20-22 pants and got the 3X because I fit over 2 sizes on the size chart. I think the 2X would have been fine even for my stiff arthritic hands to pull on. On the other end of the size, these are way shorter and fit my 5 foot 7 inch frame like capris, not the ankle length I was expecting. I ordered another pair but in the full 28 inch length, I think I will like them a bit better for fall and winter. Overall, get these, you will not be disappointed .
