I have not tried Lulus. I refuse to spend 100 on workout leggings, but I’ve noticed that the reviews of almost every legging brand on here compares them to lulu aligns. So I can imagine what they’d feel like, and these are exactly what i would think expensive leggings would feel like.

If your buying these just to wear as a casual style, everyday leggings, these are great. So flattering. So cute.

I’m 5’4 150lbs athletic build.

I do CrossFit, so lifting/conditioning cross training basically. And these leggings just feel good beginning to end. They don’t get loose, and they feel secure around the waist.

I normally would’ve gotten a medium, but took a chance and got a small. Because leggings tend to get loose around my waist by the end of the workout and I cannot stand that feeling, and having to pull em up and adjust lol. First world problems. But it’s true.

I may get a pair in M to see how that feels. But the small felt good, not restricting, doesn’t dig into my sides, I just want to see how a medium would feel.

The material is just... amazing honestly. Soft, stretchy without getting loose, really keeps its shape, and just makes you feel good lol. Like I said, these are what I’d imagine a dupe to $100 legging would feel like. I’ve tried alot of the leggings on here Including colorfulkoala, and none of them have felt as high quality and just BOMB as these. And I don’t know how much better leggings can be. Can’t be very far off of what these are.

I’d recommend you get your true size. If you between a small and medium, and you like a tighter fit, get a small.

Okay. That was a lot. But I know finding good leggings is a lot of trial and error. These are good!

The first thing I noticed when I slipped into these leggings was how comfortable they are. The fit is snug but not constricting, thanks to the high-waisted design that provides support to the core and helps smooth everything out. The waistband sits comfortably on my waist without digging in or rolling down, which is a huge plus. The leggings have a gentle compression feel that holds everything in place without being uncomfortable or restrictive—perfect for both low- and high-impact activities.

The fabric is incredibly soft to the touch, almost like a second skin. It has just the right amount of stretch to allow freedom of movement, whether I’m doing yoga, running, or weightlifting. They feel breathable yet substantial, which means I stay comfortable and dry even during more intense workouts. I didn’t experience any chafing or discomfort, even after long sessions.

Material & Durability:

The HeyNuts leggings are made from a blend of nylon and spandex, which gives them a silky, smooth texture. The fabric is lightweight but durable, and the quality really stands out. The leggings maintain their shape, even after multiple washes, and don’t show any signs of wear and tear. I’ve noticed that they don’t pill or fade, which is often an issue with lower-quality leggings. Despite the soft feel, the material is thick enough to offer decent compression without being too tight.

Another major win for these leggings is their opacity. Unlike some leggings that can become see-through during stretching or squatting, these leggings hold up really well. I never had to worry about transparency, even during deep bends or lunges, which is a big deal when you’re looking for leggings that provide both style and function.

Design & Style:

The design of the HeyNuts Essential Leggings is simple yet flattering. The high waist provides great tummy control and a smooth silhouette, while the overall cut offers a sleek, athletic look that transitions easily from the gym to casual wear. I appreciate the clean, minimalistic style without too many flashy details, making these leggings versatile enough to pair with a variety of workout tops or casual outfits.

The leggings come in several neutral and vibrant color options, so there’s something for everyone. I opted for a classic black pair, and they look chic whether I’m working out or running errands. The sleek, seamless design gives them a streamlined, modern feel that’s both functional and fashionable.

Performance & Versatility:

These leggings excel in both performance and versatility. Whether I’m doing yoga, going for a run, or hitting the gym for weight training, they stay in place and move with me every step of the way. The high-waisted design ensures that the leggings won’t slide down or roll up, even during squats or dynamic stretches. The compression feature also helps provide a bit of extra support during more intense activities.

The soft fabric and well-constructed design make them ideal for lounging as well—these leggings are comfortable enough to wear all day, whether I’m at home or running errands. They also breathe well, which means I can wear them throughout the day without feeling overly warm or sweaty.

Go to brand if I’m not in Athleta. The material is soft and the fit is great (thicker than Athleta, but there are benefits to that) — I’m 5’4”,165 size large, pear-shaped, and stay up.

They are not Athleta, but a solid compromise especially if on a budget. My drawer is Athleta & HeyNuts - only. I’m not a Lululemon person, so I can’t compare to them — but if you want comfortable, leggings at a great price, these are it.. oh and this blue is so fun, can’t see ‘imperfections’ and were dirt cheap! ❤️❤️

I’m going to get right into some pros and cons! It’s been about a year and a half since I got these.

Pros:

-So soft, comfortable, lightweight, and great for a day that you just need some stretchiness. They are a relief when I put them on!

-I thought they were going to fall down a lot but they don’t! But also - I don’t wear these to the gym, I just wear them as athleisure.

-Perfect travel leggings, I don’t spend any time uncomfortable. They don’t feel too tight or restrictive. They’re pretty breathable!

-The style/cut is cute/flattering and well done. There’s an extra piece of fabric in the inseam that makes these super comfy and fit well.

Cons:

-Pilling. I expected this because of the price. It will just eventually happen and that’s ok! I never put my leggings in the dryer. I always wash on cold and hang to dry but they finally started pilling. Just fyi. It’s hard for other people to tell though - at least on the black ones.

-The pocket is hard to use. I mean, it’s there and could easily hold a card, key, piece of gum, cash, something small. But because of the opening, I could never fit my phone in it. Not a big deal but if pockets are important to you, that’s what these are capable of on the pocket department if that helps.

-If you’d like your pair of leggings to reliably have some tummy control, these aren’t like that. But they don’t accentuate anything either. They fit your body without squeezing you in unflattering ways, if that makes sense. They just won’t magically push your stomach in.

Overall these are really great for lounging, coffee dates, hanging with friends, traveling, movie nights, pairing with oversized shirts or hoodies, days where you are bloated and just want to wear a big shirt and leggings that won’t make you think about it or squeeze you, these are it!:)

I tried these leggings as a recommended LuluLemon dupe.

As someone who has purchased both options, I can give some insight.

1. FEEL: The feel of the HeyNuts leggings is not identical, but close to the iconic feel of Lululemon leggings. They are not quite as soft, but are pretty darn close! I recommend them!

2. WEAR: The LuluLemon leggings have slightly more stretch than the HeyNuts leggings, but again may not be noticeable to everyone! I used my HeyNuts leggings for dance, and they fell down a little while dancing. I don't, however, think this would be a problem for everyone, since most people are not doing high kicks and splits. I have worn my HeyNuts leggings a good deal and the quality during wear is great. They have held up though leaping, jumping, rolling on the floor, etc.

3. LOOK: They look fabulous! They fit so nicely! I purchased the ones that look almost like Lava and I LOVE them! THEY ARE NOT SEE-THROUGH! You can run, jump, bend over, and do just about anything, even under heavy lighting, and nobody will see your business!

4. SIZE: My leggings were true to size. The fit from one color choice to another varied slightly, but not enough to be bothersome.

Although there are SLIGHT differences in quality and feel, the price of the HeyNuts leggings make them a worthwhile buy. Overall it is a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BUY and a great Lulu dupe! I would 100% purchase again.

Yep....gonna go ahead and agree with the other reviews. These are a WINNER and definitely a great Lulu Lemon dupe! I do a lot of indoor + outdoor rock climbing and wanted leggings that look and feel nice, but that I'm not scared to "beat up" - these are it!!!! They are SUPER soft, have great shape, and actually have some nice features like the pocket in the waist band (which is not bulky at all) and the seaming of the inner thigh which gives the legging some extra structure. Haven't worked out in them yet, so can't comment on breathability, but the fabric doesn't seem particularly "technical" - not a big deal for the price range. I suspect they might pill sooner rather than later, but again for the price point and what I need them for - no big deal. Size info - I am 5'6" and hover around 120 Lbs, athletic build. I have a little waist but actually have a butt and some leg muscle from working out. I tend to order S and M depending on the brand. Got a S and they fit great! They looked tiny when I took them out of the packaging but they stretched (in a good way) significantly. They fit snug but are not uncomfortable. About to order anther pair...!!! Buy them!!!!!

I'm a Lulu girl through and through. I was influenced to get these since they're obviously like 1/4 of the cost. Everyone raves about them. "You can hardly tell the difference!" they say. No. Not true. If you're a Lulu snob like I've been spoiled into, you can absolutely tell the difference. Yes, they're soft. They're stretchy. They're decent quality. They're not see-through.

But. They don't hold their shape as well. They tend to slide down. No pockets. I like them better than other dupes, but let's not pretend that they're even in the same caliber as Lululemon. I'd rather have less, higher quality pants than a million low-quality ones. I should have saved my money and gone with my beloved Lulus.

The HeyNuts Essential Leggings (25'') have become my absolute go-to for everything from yoga class to running errands! The high-waisted design is so flattering and provides the perfect amount of support without digging in or rolling down. The fabric is incredibly soft and comfortable—it feels like a gentle hug for my legs all day long.

I wear these leggings constantly because they're versatile enough for workouts, casual outings, or even lounging at home. The 25'' length hits perfectly at my ankle, and they stay put during yoga poses and cardio without any sliding or bunching. The material has just the right amount of stretch and compression, making me feel confident and comfortable no matter what I'm doing.

What really impressed me was how well they've held up after countless washes—no pilling, fading, or losing their shape. For such high-quality athletic leggings, the price was absolutely the best I found compared to name-brand alternatives that cost twice as much. I honestly can't tell the difference in quality, but my wallet definitely appreciates the savings.

I'm very likely to buy more pairs in different colors because these have become essential in my wardrobe. I've already recommended them to my workout buddies and my sister, who's now obsessed with them too. If you're looking for comfortable, affordable, well-made leggings that work for any activity, these are absolutely perfect. Definitely 5 stars!

I am usually a size 12 in lulu, I got the XL black 7/8 and they fit snug but still fit, if lulu had a size 11 that would be this XL. So size 10 or 12 lulu buyers would fit XL. But they fit great, not see through at all and give some spanx feel, high waist and buttery soft. If I didn't know any better I would say these are lulus.

Me sorprendió la calidad, no esperaba tanto y wow.

These leggings are amazing, the quality is GREAT! I ordered my normal size and they fit perfect. Love the color too (ordered plum color). The material is soft but at the same time they stay put and don't roll down. Squat-proof too. Perfect leggings for the gym, leisure or just about anything :). Will order more in different colors.

Perfekte leggins!

Sie sitzt einfach perfekt und ist aus einem sehr angenehmen Material. Habe sie mir direkt noch einmal in dunkelblau gekauft. Sie sieht hochwertig aus und passt zu dem authleisure Outfit.

Nach einigen Monat fängt etwas pulling an, aber das ist normal und hält sich in Grenzen.

Kann ich mit auch sehr gut während der Schwangerschaft oder danach vorstellen da sie sehr dehnbar ist.

Würde sie immer wieder kaufen und brauche keine leggins mehr von Nike & co.

Me encanto el material, ajusta muy bien, el color muy bonito, la talla coincide, quiero todos los colores.
