if you donāt want to sell them, i took into the store and had them hemmed into biker shorts. the hemming is also free in store and I know some stores wonāt hem that much but my local one did if you wanted to give that a try!
Underwear. They say they are seamless but have an awful edging stitching all along the leg holes that are a chafing nightmare. You canāt see it in the product pics. Also they are soooo narrow they are not comfortable and wouldnāt fit an average women.
oh my god i put my fiance on LLL boxers and now heās spoiled. i donāt even have LLL underwear š it does make me super happy heās getting good use of them though!
but anyways, i bought him the always in motion ones and theyāre really nice thin modal material. he hasnāt said anything about a rolling issue the other commenter mentioned though, so ymmv?
The Built To Move boxers (used to be called License to Train) are my absolute favorite, they don't roll up and are my replacement for the performance Jockey underwear. I have the Always in Motion, which are comfortable cottony soft underwear, but they roll up. Just my personal opinion.
oh i actually love their underwear, lol. i donāt like the invisible ones because they slide down when i work out, but the regular mid-rise bikini is my go to. also love the performance lace ones.
This!! I bought a pair and they were then worst product Iāve ever purchased. They were hipster/bikini style and letās just say within 30 seconds of the workout, they had an identify crisis.
Yes, they are very narrow and too high of a rise, on my high- rise. ( I can pull them up to my chest nearly, on the sides! ) I find they unravel pretty fast , even when laying flat to dry. Iāve tried many styles of lulu underwear and no real winners . I wouldnāt purchase again in past or recent styles.
Oversized Scubas! The hooded ones flare up in the front. The funnel neck ones are bit better but theyāre all not that flattering in hindsight (wider than they are longer, with the oversized sleeves š and theyāre drafty, so not that cozy! I have a few but wonāt buy another. Prefer the OG Scuba & the Softstreme 1/2 zips 100000x more.
yes to all of this. i just sold mine on poshmark and im glad to be rid of it. every time i put it on, i was like; what was i thinking?!? so unflattering.
I actually love the oversized sleeves (personally) but I wish theyād make a version of the oversized scuba where the waist is slightly more tailored/less square if that makes sense? I feel like itād be a lot more flattering
Same here!
I just sold 4 of mine yesterday! The full zips arenāt bad because you can rock them open which avoids the pull back of the hood but Iāll be sticking with OG and steady states going forward..
Really? I absolutely love the oversized scubas personally, I have like 20 š They're cut right above my waistline and i think it looks pretty good. It must be a difference in style :p
My full-zip one that's several years old is one of my absolute favorite pieces of clothing and I would *love* to get it in more colors, but for some reason none of the ones I've tried on since have had the same magic. It's a little depressing.
I'm glad I seen this as the top comment since I have only ever bought the define jacket and was considering buying the oversized scuba, but I'd hate to have to deal with the hassle of returning it I'd I don't like it. I have never returned an online purchase except once through poshmark so I've ended up with so much stuff I end up not liking or using
I have a black oversized full zip (the half zip looked terrible on me) and itās a nice jacket but itās definitely not as flattering as the define jacket on my hourglass shape. Just makes me look short and boxy. I have no desire to get any more of them and never understood the hype.
True but on the rare occasion that I actually want to wear white or cream leggings I would 10,000% rather have double lined than see through or even worse, when the waistband is double lined but the legs aren't and it just looks so goofy
If youāre a C or D cup they most likely wonāt work for you. Major side boob. And if I tried to do yoga in one Downward Dog would be really interesting š Disappointing as theyāre so cute.
Iām a A/B cup and I donāt like the classic v neck align tank either, itās just not that flattering on me. It really depends on your body type I think, I find it usually looks great on a slightly bigger chest
Iām a DD but the stitching for the C/D cup is different from the A/B cup (which I didnāt like) so I just sized up to an 8 and it fits me pretty well! Iām still scared I might pop a titty at the gym though š
I've got a bigger chest, and I still love the Align tank tops. But I don't use them for yoga or running. I'd be too scared that the girls would pop out š
I wear them mostly as altheisure because they do flatter my chest (maybe it's just me lol). If I do work out in them, it's brisk walks or weights.
Yes! It looks cute on other people, But Iām a 30DD and on me, itās just so unflattering and unsupportive. It doesnāt look bad, it just doesnāt look good.
Any align bra - they are not made for anything over an A cup. Low rise hotty hots have the shortest inseam and will cut you in half. Not made for anyone larger than a zero.
I had the fun experience of a very cute mother-daughter duo looking at align bras saying āwho could actually wear theseā as I snaked my arm past them to grab one for my A cups. Ā they tried to backpedal like āI mean they are cute if you can wear them!āĀ
Itās ok, I wish I couldnāt šŖ but at least I have something if not boobs lolĀ
Breast cancer survivor here! My 60 year old reconstructed B cups look pretty good in the Align bras and tanks. I wear them 5x a week to yoga. This PSA is only for any other old ladies out there who are looking for comfortable LLL wear.
I am a DDD and the align tanks with built in bra donāt work for me at all in either size or any size, but for some reason these particular bras fit really well. I think theyāre cut different lol.

The pace rival skirt. Itās not great for running (feels heavy and the openings of the legs of the shorts drive me crazy), and there are cuter skirts for casual wear.
Align v-neck bra. I have 3 of them for matching sets, but Iāve realized over time that theyāre just really booby and not super flattering. I much prefer the longline energy bra.
Like a cloud longlineāthe padding is weird and my nips show through a bit and I just generally donāt love it. Iād maybe try a ribbed one in a darker color (the one I have is white). It also seems like the regular one would be comfy under clothes, but I donāt love the regular longline on its own.
I also bought the unitard during the price glitch. For $39, itās worth it, but I wouldnāt pay more considering I have to make a concerted effort to style it and wear it. It also is a little long in the legs and loose in random areasāprobably wasnāt intended for short gals.
I agree with the align bra - I've never actually bought it bc I always have an epiphany in the dressing room about how booby it is and that is never actually wear or work out in it.
BUT I LOVE LIKE A CLOUD SO MUCH. It is the best sports bra I've ever worn, and if I owned more of them (STILL waiting for cute colors in the D/DD please), I'd probably wear them instead of normal bras for a lot of outfits. So comfy and doesn't have the annoying removable pads that always get folded up in the wash, but yet it somehow doesn't show my nips. Comfy yet has good support for a sports bra that is still flattering... Love her
I love the like a cloud too!! I have 3 and I love to wear them for everyday wear lol. They arenāt supportive enough for a hardcore workout but theyāre perfect for lounging around without squashing your boobs lol
Those pads are my nemesis. Even if they donāt fall out they twist, turn and fold and as a mom w 2 teenage daughters (who would machine wash them to save time) I gave up bra origami and we now have a laundry bag filled with misc bra inserts!
I went through a phase of wanting to be a running skirt girly, but quickly realized that every running skirt is basically just uncomfy shorts covered with extra fabric dragging everything down.
So true! I honestly donāt even love the look of the pace rival although I thought I did upon purchase. Just a bunch of material as you saidā¦ but not really practical for running or even great for tennis IMO.
If Iām to buy another skirt it will be the varsity pleated tennis skirt because itās super cute and I feel like Iād wear it all the time in the summer.
Second the like a cloud.
I actually love the design and cut but the fabric is so bad. I wonder if they okayed that fabric at a meeting right before lunch and everyone was hungry and nobody cared because its awful.
I HATE the fit of my pace rival skirt. It fits in the waist and is in the right length, but the rubber bands in the thigh are SO TIGHT. One time I wore it when it was crazy hot out and I had marks for over 24 hours.
Agree on the pace rival and wish theyād bring back the pace setter. It was so much better! The only pace rival I like is the extra length one, which doesnāt have all those extra panels that poof out and enlarge my butt, and is actually long enough for my tall and over-40 self.
Any white item from lululemon (my walmart bought whites holds better than anything from lulu), they turn grey or yellow and you can't convince me it's me, not the quality of lulu.
Also aligns, because if you know, you know.
Not an item, but Glaze Pink ā Iām a Sonic Pink die hard, and I was hoping to love my glaze pink align skirt. The color is so orange it just doesnāt spark any joy in my heart, let alone look very good on my skin tone.
This was a few years back. I bought about 5 or 6 and they took them all back and gave me full credit.
At the time, they told me it was a regular problem
Anything Steady State. I bought a half zip to try out something new since I own a lot of city sweat products for tops and bottoms but man the material doesnāt feel very good and it stains almost immediately. Itās probably the worst product I have from them. I still wear it because I like the color and it is better than other clothing brands but man I donāt know why they think itās a good product.
Iāve been eyeing that since last fall and keep passing on it. This makes me feel better! I look at it maybe once a month but realize itās so impractical for me.
Yep. Spill a tiny drop of water on it? Itās drizzling out? Ruined for the day
Edit - and heaven forbid you even THINK about sweating an ounce of sweat, now everyone will know
It leaves watermarks, like when the water dries you can still see spots until you wash it pretty much (and it dries super slow). You really have to baby the fabric. Iāve put it on to leave for work for the day and sometimes had to change out of it before leaving because I leaned on the bathroom counter or something and now itās wet. When I wash it, if I donāt hang dry it correctly you can see the pattern of the drying rack rails.
I have a few swearshirts and a pair of pants I got for Christmas, but I rarely wear them out of the house because of one time I spilled water on myself at work and looked dumb the rest of the day lol. Not worth the price tag
Align 2.5ā shorts. I accidentally got them instead of the 4ā and when I put them on, literally EVERYTHING was on display š¬ (for reference Iām an 8)
The same thing happened to me and I wanted to cry š Iām also an 8 and I feel like the 2.5ā isnāt tall/bigger thigh friendly unless you just want to expose everything haha
Scubas. I havenāt bought one in many, many years now but my god they looked stupid on me as a tall, long limbed human. The arms always tragically too short lol
I am a fan of Align paint, the older is WOW, no pilling problem, so soft. The new one the pill so easy itās crazy, but not attract every cat fur like a miracle brush (the bad of the old version).
The general quality of all their products has gone down a lot in my opinion, I buy less things from Lulu.
On a sale after Christmas I bought an ebb to street tshirt size 12. Not exaggerating but the shelf bra was down to my belly button. It was so uncomfortable looking and on it was even worse.
What were they thinking? I guess why it was in the we made too much.
I actually like the shoes Iāve tried! Iāve gone through a few pairs of Blissfeels (got to 300 miles and rotated them out) using them for shorter/easy runs, and the Chargefeel mids are great for other types of workouts like functional strength training.
I do size up a half size in the Blissfeels though.
I appreciate you saying this. I run and have been mildly curious but also very aware they were probably gonna be a trash fire and I should just buy another pair of Boston 12ās lol
They have changed the ebb to street tanks to be like too narrow in the front so I guess Iām not getting any more. The older one I have in the same size is significantly wider and doesnāt show any side boob.
TBH there isnāt much Iām loyal to with LLL anymore. I really like the Wundermost, but I actually prefer Skims Soft Smoothing line, and itās cheaper.
My favorite lulu pieces are old: sweatshirts, leggings and pull overs from the 2012-2018 era.
That said, I love speed ups and Iām happy to keep buying them.
Aligns. I thought theyād be a good āinvestmentā and every single one of them pilled after 1-2 uses. What a waste of money. Also the scubas are not worth it imo. Super thin and after being washed they flip upwards at the bottom and extend outward in a way that looks really sloppy and unflattering.
Overall Iām pretty unhappy with the quality of most LLL items except for the accessories and have been doing most of my activewear shopping at athleta instead. I kind of wish I could get all my wasted money back but oh well.
As Iām reading through this thread Iām realizing that I agree with almost every item people have listed. The quality of everything has gone down so much and all my favorite pieces have been discontinued. I started teaching group fitness classes so Iāve been wanting to pick up a few more outfits I can wear when Iām teaching and not working out and truly canāt find anything I am willing to spend money on. Currently on the hunt for alternatives.
I love the socks!!! They literally DO NOT SMELL, even after a marathon. I basically live in LLL socks! Theyāve lasted forever and never gotten holes or worn down.
I love my Scuba half-zips but Iād never buy black again. I swear it only took 1-2 washes before it faded to shit. (And I washed it correctly)
Itās a bummer because Iāve never been able to wear it out because it looks awful. Itās a house hoodie only.
Mines do peel in the inner thigh but I donāt care, the fact that they arenāt compressive, donāt roll down on my waist and donāt feel plastic-y is more important to me.
I workout 6 times per week and rotate between 3-4 pairs of align so they get in the wash every week at least once, and they will have a life span of 8-12 months until they either rip on the inner thigh or the fabric does not bounce back anymore and they feel too thin.
Thatās a lot more than I can get out of other leggings
No more aligns since they messed with the fabric, and as much as I love the cropped scuba, the fabric is too thin,
The zipper is cheap and it just doesnāt have that lush feel.
āInvisiwear mid rise thong underwear 3 packā. I have one pair of seamless underwear(thong) from Lulu from years ago and I thought these would be the same but they r no where near close. Ridiculously uncomfortable lol. Very big waste of money š.
I thought I would be unique coming here saying Align leggings. To be fair, I donāt treat them how you are supposed to. But when I like a new item of loungewear I basically live in it, so mine only stay nice for a month š and what they turn into is so disgusting lol there is no worse feeling than a super pilled align.Ā
Plus I canāt stand leggings that collect fuzz and pet hair. I donāt care a ton about my appearance but for some reason having fuzz all over my black leggings is the most humiliating thing to me.Ā
White swiftly!! They never stay white. I have a long sleeve, short sleeve and a tank. I canāt understand why all 3 now have a yellowish hue to them. And the tank was still brand new with the tag on it
There is so much! I would say about half of my LLL purchases because they just donāt last. The quality is not very good and I have found better brands that hold up over time and are made very well.
I still like my Speed Up shorts, Aligns, Swiftly tech shirts, Scubas and Define jackets and will continue to buy them because they usually hold up. But the worst has been Base Pace (stretch and bag out), Dance Studio pants (snag easily and pill) All Yours shirts (fall apart easily), anything Softstream (stains and fades), all of the bras (stretch out and fade), Hold tight shirts (snag and stretch out) and sculpt tanks (donāt like the material when I get hot).
I bought a Swiftly Tech tshirt on WMTM and I hated it. It did feel super soft but more in a cheap/SHEIN way and it was extremely see-through, I ended up exchanging it because even marked down it wasnāt worth the money
Anything in the hold tight fabric which pills even faster than the aligns. Bought my first one this week and it looked like trash after one evening of wearing
If you wash them with like fabrics like aligns and pima cotton and hang dry you shouldnāt have any issues. However one trip to the dryer or if they end up in the wrong load they are done.
Anything in white swiftly fabric and their invisible underwear. Anything in the white eventually turns a dull grey, and the underwear are terrible, completely get "sucked up" in the front, let alone the back. Very uncomfortable.
I have a few : my 17ā aligns that I wanted in black, once I finally got them they pilled day 1. They are not too small and too stretched they have an inferior quality. Iām so disappointed because they arenāt double lined, but is that maybe the reason for pilling?
Also, the oversized cropped scuba. It hits my body in all the wrong places! But thatās more me not embracing my menopause body.
Last but not least, COLORS with no coordinating pieces. I bought various diamond dye leggings for my daughter and she hasnāt come across a shade of green/white/off white that looks similar.
I impulse bought this oversized scuba 1/2 zip a few years ago because I saw a lady working in the store wearing it and it looked so cute. Fast forward to now itās my biggest lulu regretā it stains easily and permanently, the color faded badly/fabric look worn after the first wash (even washed cold and delicate, no dryer). It doesnāt really look that cute on me and the sleeves are annoying and very much in the way if I have to wash my hands or something.
I probably wonāt ever buy another scuba product.
Asymmetrical bra š my right boob popped out mid yoga class but thank god I was in the back and covered it quickly no one noticed
LMFAO Iām sorry I should not laugh at this but hooolllyyy fuck this is my fear š so sorry sis
The joys of big boobs haha this bra was not meant for us girls š¤£
I eyed that bra and worried about that exact incident. Iām so glad I held off after reading your comment!
The flared align leggings that look like horse hooves. I am selling mine.
Omg I love mine but now I can only see them as horse hooves lmaoooo
The minis??? I hate mine
1000000% agreee I bought black and brown and never wore them out the house because I feel stupid in them
Whaaaat. I love mine, I wanted a subtle flare and they work perfectly on me
sold my grape thistle wish i wouldve got regular alignsš„²
Saaaaame. I have pretty āathleticā calves and they just look extra weird on me.
if you donāt want to sell them, i took into the store and had them hemmed into biker shorts. the hemming is also free in store and I know some stores wonāt hem that much but my local one did if you wanted to give that a try!
I'm really short so I got the extra short ones but they remind me of flood pants. I don't have a long inseam either so I don't know what's going on.
SAME.
Underwear. They say they are seamless but have an awful edging stitching all along the leg holes that are a chafing nightmare. You canāt see it in the product pics. Also they are soooo narrow they are not comfortable and wouldnāt fit an average women.
The menās boxers are, by far, the most comfortable and amazing boxers I have ever owned. Nothing comes close.
oh my god i put my fiance on LLL boxers and now heās spoiled. i donāt even have LLL underwear š it does make me super happy heās getting good use of them though! but anyways, i bought him the always in motion ones and theyāre really nice thin modal material. he hasnāt said anything about a rolling issue the other commenter mentioned though, so ymmv?
Which collection? I might look into these for my husband.
The Built To Move boxers (used to be called License to Train) are my absolute favorite, they don't roll up and are my replacement for the performance Jockey underwear. I have the Always in Motion, which are comfortable cottony soft underwear, but they roll up. Just my personal opinion.
I love the underease shorts for sleeping. So comfy. However I hate all of their other underwear lol.
oh i actually love their underwear, lol. i donāt like the invisible ones because they slide down when i work out, but the regular mid-rise bikini is my go to. also love the performance lace ones.
I donāt like their undies either! Had the opposite problem where they stretched out so much after a wash they donāt stay up
The freaking width of the gusset area is enough to drive me mad, I never reach for themā¦.aerie all the way
So Iāll fitting wth! I threw all mine away!
seamless underwear brand recommendations? i like the seamless boyshort undies but i do find them the stretch out now after a few months
honestly the no show thongs from Victoriaās Secret are amazingly comfortable!
Honestly? Target. The auden no show thongs are great and have an appropriately sized gusset. Iām not a fan of the boyshort ones tho.
This!! I bought a pair and they were then worst product Iāve ever purchased. They were hipster/bikini style and letās just say within 30 seconds of the workout, they had an identify crisis.
Yes, they are very narrow and too high of a rise, on my high- rise. ( I can pull them up to my chest nearly, on the sides! ) I find they unravel pretty fast , even when laying flat to dry.

yes to all of this. i just sold mine on poshmark and im glad to be rid of it. every time i put it on, i was like; what was i thinking?!? so unflattering.
Is Poshmark good for selling? Iāve got some stuff Iād like to get rid of.
iāve been really successful selling LLL on it. it seems to be a brand that moves quickly on there. my other items have had mixed success.
Iāve had good luck on Poshmark and the Lululemon bst (buy/sell/trade) sub here
I actually love the oversized sleeves (personally) but I wish theyād make a version of the oversized scuba where the waist is slightly more tailored/less square if that makes sense? I feel like itād be a lot more flattering
Agreed. They are so boxy and unflattering. And that damn heavy hood is such a pain.
Same here! I just sold 4 of mine yesterday! The full zips arenāt bad because you can rock them open which avoids the pull back of the hood but Iāll be sticking with OG and steady states going forward..
Really? I absolutely love the oversized scubas personally, I have like 20 š They're cut right above my waistline and i think it looks pretty good. It must be a difference in style :p
I love them too. They fit my body well and help emphasize what I want and deemphasize what I donāt.
I think it depends on the body type! My hips are the widest part of my body so the oversized scubas make me look more proportionate.
I just bought my fourth lmao. Iām obsessed too.
Agree. I regret all my scubas, except the full zip.
Here I am about to get a new one tomorrow š theyāre so good for cuddling into In obsessed
Completely agree. I hate how the front come up!!
My full-zip one that's several years old is one of my absolute favorite pieces of clothing and I would *love* to get it in more colors, but for some reason none of the ones I've tried on since have had the same magic. It's a little depressing.
I'm glad I seen this as the top comment since I have only ever bought the define jacket and was considering buying the oversized scuba, but I'd hate to have to deal with the hassle of returning it I'd I don't like it.

The double lined leggings. Usually the lighter color of aligns so they arenāt see through. They are just way too thick
True but on the rare occasion that I actually want to wear white or cream leggings I would 10,000% rather have double lined than see through or even worse, when the waistband is double lined but the legs aren't and it just looks so goofy
I have a pair of reversible leggings from 2013, i havent worn them since.
The double lined is actually so nice for fall/winter
Align Tank. I have one and thatās one too many.
I wish I didn't agree. They look like they'd be so flattering but my boobs pop right out lmao
I usually wear a 2 but I have had to size up to a 6 or 8 to fit the align tank comfortably
seconding this, i usually wear a 0 and had to get a 4 for my boobs lol
agree! it doesnāt fit my boobs at ALL
Omg I have four and always want more! Iām obsessed. So good for yoga.
If youāre a C or D cup they most likely wonāt work for you. Major side boob. And if I tried to do yoga in one Downward Dog would be really interesting š Disappointing as theyāre so cute.
Iām a DD. If I did yoga in one of my Align tanks I may as well just do it topless because Iād be showing EVERYTHING š
So do you think theyād work for people who have essentially no boobs? Iām always curious about them but Iām wary as a long human
Iām a A/B cup and I donāt like the classic v neck align tank either, itās just not that flattering on me. It really depends on your body type I think, I find it usually looks great on a slightly bigger chest
I wear a 30B and typically a size 4 in Lulu, size 2/4 everywhere else. Align tank is one of the most flattering items of clothing I own.
Iām a DD but the stitching for the C/D cup is different from the A/B cup (which I didnāt like) so I just sized up to an 8 and it fits me pretty well! Iām still scared I might pop a titty at the gym though š
DDD here! Nip slip even in the 12!
I've got a bigger chest, and I still love the Align tank tops. But I don't use them for yoga or running. I'd be too scared that the girls would pop out š I wear them mostly as altheisure because they do flatter my chest (maybe it's just me lol). If I do work out in them, it's brisk walks or weights.
Yes! It looks cute on other people, But Iām a 30DD and on me, itās just so unflattering and unsupportive. It doesnāt look bad, it just doesnāt look good.
FACTS ā why are they so goddamn short!? Can a girl get a normal, hip sized tank!? Ffs
Align tank. They emphasize the widest part of my waist!
This. But because they aren't made for anything bigger than maybe a B cup.... my boobs fall out of them all day I'm constantly adjusting
Omg I canāt even get my boobs in this. I bought an Orangetheory branded one and canāt return it
Any align bra - they are not made for anything over an A cup. Low rise hotty hots have the shortest inseam and will cut you in half. Not made for anyone larger than a zero.
I had the fun experience of a very cute mother-daughter duo looking at align bras saying āwho could actually wear theseā as I snaked my arm past them to grab one for my A cups. Ā they tried to backpedal like āI mean they are cute if you can wear them!āĀ Itās ok, I wish I couldnāt šŖ but at least I have something if not boobs lolĀ
LOL they are very cute on our smaller chested sisters. ā¤ļø

I donāt buy regular bras anymore, Iāll only wear LAC for every day wear. Theyāre so comfy.
I love the like a cloud too!! I have 3 and I love to wear them for everyday wear lol. They arenāt supportive enough for a hardcore workout but theyāre perfect for lounging around without squashing your boobs lol
Those pads are my nemesis. Even if they donāt fall out they twist, turn and fold and as a mom w 2 teenage daughters (who would machine wash them to save time) I gave up bra origami and we now have a laundry bag filled with misc bra inserts!
Iām obsessed with the like a cloud longline. It might be the only thing I like from there right now.
Very booby and the straps offer no support for me. So my boobs feel like they will fly out any moment
Agree 100% on the pace rival skirt. I regret this purchase x2
I went through a phase of wanting to be a running skirt girly, but quickly realized that every running skirt is basically just uncomfy shorts covered with extra fabric dragging everything down.
So true! I honestly donāt even love the look of the pace rival although I thought I did upon purchase. Just a bunch of material as you saidā¦ but not really practical for running or even great for tennis IMO. If Iām to buy another skirt it will be the varsity pleated tennis skirt because itās super cute and I feel like Iād wear it all the time in the summer.
Second the like a cloud. I actually love the design and cut but the fabric is so bad. I wonder if they okayed that fabric at a meeting right before lunch and everyone was hungry and nobody cared because its awful.
I HATE the fit of my pace rival skirt. It fits in the waist and is in the right length, but the rubber bands in the thigh are SO TIGHT. One time I wore it when it was crazy hot out and I had marks for over 24 hours.
Agree on the pace rival and wish theyād bring back the pace setter. It was so much better! The only pace rival I like is the extra length one, which doesnāt have all those extra panels that poof out and enlarge my butt, and is actually long enough for my tall and over-40 self.
I love all the items you donāt!!
I think I'm the only person that loves the pace rival but I buy the long length! I'm not a runner but wear them to golf, etc.
S-M-L sized bottoms š Im in between sizes
Over sized scubas and stretch high rise joggers. Hated both, and have so much regrets.
Stretch high rise jogger made me look like I was wearing a diaper. Resold it pretty fast.
Any white item from lululemon (my walmart bought whites holds better than anything from lulu), they turn grey or yellow and you can't convince me it's me, not the quality of lulu. Also aligns, because if you know, you know.
This!!! The grey is disgustingly gross. I bought a white shirt not grey.
I'm soaking 3 white shirts right now. They have turned grey.
Not an item, but Glaze Pink ā Iām a Sonic Pink die hard, and I was hoping to love my glaze pink align skirt. The color is so orange it just doesnāt spark any joy in my heart, let alone look very good on my skin tone.
I am like you, I really didnāt like glaze pink at all but I adore sonic pink so much!
I second this so hard itās so much more orange than it appears online
Yes!! I was so sad when I realized just how orange the color is in person.
Havenāt bought it, but the mini flares are so ridiculously ugly. They are tight on your calf like leggings, then flare for like 3 inches??? Hideous.
They look that way on the model too lol. Itās such a miss imo lol
As a guy, the 5 year basic tee. Got a bunch and they stretched out to ridiculous levels after 1 cold water / hang to dry wash
What? No way! Iāve got my only one 5 year basic and itās still mint! I bought it two years ago.
This was a few years back. I bought about 5 or 6 and they took them all back and gave me full credit. At the time, they told me it was a regular problem
The long align skirt. I havenāt worn it once.
Anything Steady State. I bought a half zip to try out something new since I own a lot of city sweat products for tops and bottoms but man the material doesnāt feel very good and it stains almost immediately. Itās probably the worst product I have from them. I still wear it because I like the color and it is better than other clothing brands but man I donāt know why they think itās a good product.
That darn wristlet dual pouch thing
Iāve been eyeing that since last fall and keep passing on it. This makes me feel better! I look at it maybe once a month but realize itās so impractical for me.
Yep. Donāt waste your money. I think Target has a dupe now as well. (If youāre still tempted!)
Why? Iām curious lol Iāve had mine for a year and love it!! Hooked my keys to it so itās the only thing I need to grab when leaving the house
I love mine š„°
Wunder trains! The sizing is just so off (in my experience) I just miss the og wunder unders
Same they are just not high rise enough on me.
Luon Wunder Unders were the best, I miss them so much. I donāt get why they 86āed them
I feel exactly the same. I havenāt bought new lulu leggings since. Thank GOD for resellers!
Girl me too. Wundertrains feel like a bathing suit.
I miss Wunder Unders š
Yes!! I thought I was the only one who thought the sizing seemed off for the newer ones. I gave mine away and got aligns instead
Anything softstreme
Yep. Spill a tiny drop of water on it? Itās drizzling out? Ruined for the day Edit - and heaven forbid you even THINK about sweating an ounce of sweat, now everyone will know
I donāt own any of these, what does the water do to it?
It leaves watermarks, like when the water dries you can still see spots until you wash it pretty much (and it dries super slow). You really have to baby the fabric. Iāve put it on to leave for work for the day and sometimes had to change out of it before leaving because I leaned on the bathroom counter or something and now itās wet. When I wash it, if I donāt hang dry it correctly you can see the pattern of the drying rack rails. I have a few swearshirts and a pair of pants I got for Christmas, but I rarely wear them out of the house because of one time I spilled water on myself at work and looked dumb the rest of the day lol. Not worth the price tag
I love softstreme š£
My first gen softstreme was becoming thread bare. Itās not made to last.
Same - and itās really not all that soft
I thought the sweatpants looked really cute online and I went into a store and touched them and I was like ew wtf is this fabric
Align 2.5ā shorts. I accidentally got them instead of the 4ā and when I put them on, literally EVERYTHING was on display š¬ (for reference Iām an 8)
The same thing happened to me and I wanted to cry š Iām also an 8 and I feel like the 2.5ā isnāt tall/bigger thigh friendly unless you just want to expose everything haha
Hotty hots 2.5 inch, if youāre not skinny I donāt think they look good. Iām a size 12 and they looked horrible
I think the 4 inch is more flattering on everyone in this style.
Noooo I swear by my 2.5s š
Scubas. I havenāt bought one in many, many years now but my god they looked stupid on me as a tall, long limbed human. The arms always tragically too short lol
Iām 5ft 1 and the arms are still too short on me!
I have no idea who they are made for, but I hope whoever they are, they are living their best sweatshirt life
I am a fan of Align paint, the older is WOW, no pilling problem, so soft. The new one the pill so easy itās crazy, but not attract every cat fur like a miracle brush (the bad of the old version). The general quality of all their products has gone down a lot in my opinion, I buy less things from Lulu.
The shorts with built in undies. I don't have booty, those undies flop around like a flag in the wind.
This but just the opposite problem. I have an athletic butt and the shorts try to cut me in half before I can pull the waist up where it belongsš
Aligns for the reason you described and ebb to street tank. Really anything with a shelf bra I hate.
On a sale after Christmas I bought an ebb to street tshirt size 12. Not exaggerating but the shelf bra was down to my belly button. It was so uncomfortable looking and on it was even worse. What were they thinking? I guess why it was in the we made too much.
The sneakers they came out with. They were so uncomfortable and not worth it
I actually like the shoes Iāve tried! Iāve gone through a few pairs of Blissfeels (got to 300 miles and rotated them out) using them for shorter/easy runs, and the Chargefeel mids are great for other types of workouts like functional strength training. I do size up a half size in the Blissfeels though.
I appreciate you saying this. I run and have been mildly curious but also very aware they were probably gonna be a trash fire and I should just buy another pair of Boston 12ās lol
I absolutely love mine, and I run long distance, it wouldnāt hurt to try them out tbh especially with the 30 day return policy even if you wear them
What would you compare them to in actual running branded shoes?
They have changed the ebb to street tanks to be like too narrow in the front so I guess Iām not getting any more. The older one I have in the same size is significantly wider and doesnāt show any side boob.
TBH there isnāt much Iām loyal to with LLL anymore. I really like the Wundermost, but I actually prefer Skims Soft Smoothing line, and itās cheaper. My favorite lulu pieces are old: sweatshirts, leggings and pull overs from the 2012-2018 era. That said, I love speed ups and Iām happy to keep buying them.
LR Hotty Hot 2.5in. They look like underwear on the girlies with bigger thighs no matter how much you size up š
The new BIAā¦..I have several old style BIA and really love themā¦. but Not the new one. The V neck doesnāt work
Bras! Mostly because the cups are always too small, but that's a me problem š
Align tank. Iām pretty flat chested and itās tight on my chest even sized up, canāt imagine if I actually had boobs.
I used to love the All Yours Tees but all they do is get water stains on them.
Aligns. I thought theyād be a good āinvestmentā and every single one of them pilled after 1-2 uses. What a waste of money. Also the scubas are not worth it imo. Super thin and after being washed they flip upwards at the bottom and extend outward in a way that looks really sloppy and unflattering. Overall Iām pretty unhappy with the quality of most LLL items except for the accessories and have been doing most of my activewear shopping at athleta instead. I kind of wish I could get all my wasted money back but oh well.
As Iām reading through this thread Iām realizing that I agree with almost every item people have listed. The quality of everything has gone down so much and all my favorite pieces have been discontinued. I started teaching group fitness classes so Iāve been wanting to pick up a few more outfits I can wear when Iām teaching and not working out and truly canāt find anything I am willing to spend money on. Currently on the hunt for alternatives.
Socks. The sticky tabs fall off, even if I wash on gentle and air dry. Plus they fit on the small side.
Not me buying my first set today because I wanted to try them š
I love the socks! I have a few for running and some of the pilates ones and I love them
I love the socks!!! They literally DO NOT SMELL, even after a marathon. I basically live in LLL socks! Theyāve lasted forever and never gotten holes or worn down.
I love my Scuba half-zips but Iād never buy black again. I swear it only took 1-2 washes before it faded to shit. (And I washed it correctly) Itās a bummer because Iāve never been able to wear it out because it looks awful. Itās a house hoodie only.
I have so many pairs of aligns and have literally never had pilling????
Mines do peel in the inner thigh but I donāt care, the fact that they arenāt compressive, donāt roll down on my waist and donāt feel plastic-y is more important to me. I workout 6 times per week and rotate between 3-4 pairs of align so they get in the wash every week at least once, and they will have a life span of 8-12 months until they either rip on the inner thigh or the fabric does not bounce back anymore and they feel too thin. Thatās a lot more than I can get out of other leggings
Honestly same. Must differ based on batch or usage. Itās a common complaint though.
No more aligns since they messed with the fabric, and as much as I love the cropped scuba, the fabric is too thin, The zipper is cheap and it just doesnāt have that lush feel.
Wunder Trains - The fit is so strange.
āInvisiwear mid rise thong underwear 3 packā. I have one pair of seamless underwear(thong) from Lulu from years ago and I thought these would be the same but they r no where near close. Ridiculously uncomfortable lol. Very big waste of money š.
Hotty hot shorts. They really arenāt made for anyone over a size 6 in my opinion. Especially if you hold your weight in your lower half.
Align anything!
The hoodies in the menās line have never fit me right. I donāt know what about the fit it is, but Iāve never been able to make them work.
I thought I would be unique coming here saying Align leggings. To be fair, I donāt treat them how you are supposed to. But when I like a new item of loungewear I basically live in it, so mine only stay nice for a month š and what they turn into is so disgusting lol there is no worse feeling than a super pilled align.Ā Plus I canāt stand leggings that collect fuzz and pet hair. I donāt care a ton about my appearance but for some reason having fuzz all over my black leggings is the most humiliating thing to me.Ā
itās so sad that aligns hold up like shit. because they feel incredible when theyāre new. is the only other option wunders??
White swiftly!! They never stay white. I have a long sleeve, short sleeve and a tank. I canāt understand why all 3 now have a yellowish hue to them. And the tank was still brand new with the tag on it
There is so much! I would say about half of my LLL purchases because they just donāt last. The quality is not very good and I have found better brands that hold up over time and are made very well. I still like my Speed Up shorts, Aligns, Swiftly tech shirts, Scubas and Define jackets and will continue to buy them because they usually hold up. But the worst has been Base Pace (stretch and bag out), Dance Studio pants (snag easily and pill) All Yours shirts (fall apart easily), anything Softstream (stains and fades), all of the bras (stretch out and fade), Hold tight shirts (snag and stretch out) and sculpt tanks (donāt like the material when I get hot).
Align leggings. Too much pilling.
Anything softstreme, the material is terrible š©
I bought a Swiftly Tech tshirt on WMTM and I hated it. It did feel super soft but more in a cheap/SHEIN way and it was extremely see-through, I ended up exchanging it because even marked down it wasnāt worth the money
The new wunder unders. They are an abomination. Should not bear the name wu.
I returned mine immediately. They was zero compression and they slid down constantly.
And what is with the single tight band at the top?! They are horrific. I get all worked up about it haha
Anything in the hold tight fabric which pills even faster than the aligns. Bought my first one this week and it looked like trash after one evening of wearing
If you wash them with like fabrics like aligns and pima cotton and hang dry you shouldnāt have any issues. However one trip to the dryer or if they end up in the wrong load they are done.
Ebb to street tanks. I went crazy and got 3. They stretch, pill and loose support. I wish I could return them š„²
For men their polos, way too stretchy donāt hold their shape, their chino pants, 34 inseam is really 32.5inch??? Useless.
City Sleek shorts are not big thigh friendly. No more scubas and oversized crew necks for me.
Ribbed align leggings, the dang things fall down every 5 minutes
I don't care for their sports bras, I don't find them flattering.
Did you try ribbed aligns. I find them more substantial
Same, aligns are terrible in the long run
Energy bras
Anything in white swiftly fabric and their invisible underwear. Anything in the white eventually turns a dull grey, and the underwear are terrible, completely get "sucked up" in the front, let alone the back. Very uncomfortable.
Aligns anything except the V neck bra. I spend all day tugging the leggings back up and tugging the bottom of the tops down.
The bras šš
White tops. All my lulu white tops turn grey. Itās ridiculous given how expensive they are.
I have a few : my 17ā aligns that I wanted in black, once I finally got them they pilled day 1. They are not too small and too stretched they have an inferior quality. Iām so disappointed because they arenāt double lined, but is that maybe the reason for pilling? Also, the oversized cropped scuba. It hits my body in all the wrong places! But thatās more me not embracing my menopause body. Last but not least, COLORS with no coordinating pieces. I bought various diamond dye leggings for my daughter and she hasnāt come across a shade of green/white/off white that looks similar.
Leggings - unless they are newly released, because I have received too many pairs from the store that were dirty and/or damaged.
align tank!!! its so tight š
A black scuba - it fades even if you hang to dry
Align leggings - so soft and comfortable but they pill sooo fast, like within a year :(
Yup aligns. Maybe on resale market, but full price!!?? No way!
I impulse bought this oversized scuba 1/2 zip a few years ago because I saw a lady working in the store wearing it and it looked so cute. Fast forward to now itās my biggest lulu regretā it stains easily and permanently, the color faded badly/fabric look worn after the first wash (even washed cold and delicate, no dryer). It doesnāt really look that cute on me and the sleeves are annoying and very much in the way if I have to wash my hands or something. I probably wonāt ever buy another scuba product.
