Customer Reviews Sweaty Betty Power High Waist 7/8 Workout Leggings

i have this leggings in 2 prints and they fit nice, completely squat proof and waist is super comfy (more than normal powers). On the bad side the waist tend to roll down and 7/8 length are 23 inches (where other 7/8 from this brand are 24). otherwise really good!

Look nice on, however they 'relaxed' very quickly after putting them on. I need to pull them up throughout the day . Not as 'powerful' or high waisted as I thought

Not like my original power leggings. These are an odd material and so small to pull up and very high waisted which was not a good look on me . All my other leggings are XS but these were smaller than normal and a very thin material. I sent them back .

They are super nice but when running they keep falling down which is kind of annoying

I bought these as I was tired of constantly pulling leggings up. Unfortunately they have not solved the problem. They do feel sculpting and look good but not quite the magic i was hoping for. My legs also feel very hot in them even in an air conditioned gym.

I saw reviews on these and thought only the waist was different to regular powers but the material is stretchier and lighter material and more snug. I wear L on the regular powers and they are a bit big but these are snugger. I regret getting 2 pairs of these and prefer the regular ones

These leggings look great and I love the two pockets but the waist was too high for me and it felt too tight and uncomfortable. Prefer the lower waist

A wear the normal power leggings all the time as I love them but for some reason the sizing in the high waisted ones is so different. Firstly I had to size up as my usual size I couldn't even get past my knees, because I size up though I now have to keep hitching them up. The 7/8 (again what I usually buy) are very very short , more like 3 quarter length

I got two pairs of the thermal legging couple of weeks ago, only worn them few times. I wore a pair yesterday on a long walk and they just feel like they have no support at all and feel baggy. I am very upset about this.

Nice leggings and they looked great but I found that in the design I purchased (multicoloured navy and white ) that the seam was right in the middle of the navel and rubbed

Bought these leggings as I loved my original power leggings so much. Sadly the fabric, the cut, style and opacity is different. Not what I was expecting and they are definitely see through before a squat is even attempted. With all online shopping you take a gamble but I thought I was repurchasing a great, already tried and tested product. Hopefully the original style comes back!

I brought these leggings for running but they unfortunately drop at the crotch and I am constantly pulling them up. Seems to lack hold around the waist and perhaps I brought the wrong size (however, I brought my usual size UK 10). Wouldn't recommend for running.

Comes up very small, very little stretch sadly had to return

The fit and feel of these was good for the most part, BUT the top of the waist band is thick and quite stiff. Definitely not suitable for anything where you will want to move or bend at the waist. The cuff at the ankle is also rather tight, this isn't a problem I've even had before so I don't think it's because I have fat ankles! Have returned.

Liked them, but after one wear seam started to unravel so need to return unfortunately.

I have other power leggings that are fine, but these are see through ? So sent them back, disappointed

Material is thinner than the other power legging ranges, felt soft but I could see the whole of my underwear pattern through them.

Runs really small and rolls down. NOT squat proof. These are not made for working out.

Really loved these leggings the first few times I wore them for my workout. After only a few wears, they became INCREDIBLY see through. They were squat proof at first, and then very quickly became NOT AT ALL squat proof. I’m so disappointed.

It's a miserable legging. The material of the wristband is so wired and super hard. So hard , that I saw muffintop around my wrist once I put it on. Well, I am 5'5 and 110lb with 18% body fat and never expect to see such serious muffitop around my wrist, thanks this legging! AND, it's not the end of the whole story. When I start my workout later, guess what! It kept curling up! Well, I kept the legging since the colour is beautiful. So if you want a legging with pretty colour for casual wear, ok. But for workout? No!

Really disappointed with these. I bought the same size as other Sweaty Betty leggings I have and they feel like they fit, and certainly aren't baggy, but they fall down after about 10 minutes and then are uncomfortable around the crotch area because they're not tight. I'm not really sure why they do this but they aren't comfy and are definitely not 'bum sculpting!'

I bought the colour block 7/8 leggings - they look fab. BUT they fall down constantly and are not suitable for aerobic use. One track at zumba and I had pulled them up 3 times. Over the course of an hour, they drove me crazy. Not a comfortable work out experience and not what I expect from SB. I do have a black pair of high waisted and they are not as bad, but do fall down. I will definitely not be buying high waisted again no matter how lovely they look.

Don't buy if you don't want to be made to feel fat.

These were made from poor quality material, and not the same as other power leggings, so I sent them back. Such a shame

Absolutely (used) to love the power leggings but my most recent purchase were different. See through, bad quality, no elastic in the waist band it seems that the quality has really gone down hill but the prices stay the same. Time to start looking at somewhere else to buy my leggings from!
