I want my synthetic leggings to remain as elastic and stable as possible. I use leggings for both social occasions and yoga, running and sport.

I’ve never done this and wonder if it works.

Alternatively, what works for you?

    I still have a few from more than 10 years ago

    no creases whatsoever? no loose waist?

    don’t wear the same pair consecutively

    how many leggings do you own? because I wear them most days, like 5 to 6 days a week.

      Nope, granted I’ve also managed to maintain the same weight with little fluctuation. I’ve also never really had synthetic fabrics crease on me, in fact a lot of the advertising around synthetic fabric is about it being wrinkle-free and from experience it’s true (for my drape-y synthetic clothing, I’ll maybe have to hang them out if they’ve been folded in storage for a while for the fold lines to smooth out).

      But I will say I own like 10+ pairs of leggings some with different use cases (and materials): workout, hiking, and lounging. The brands I have aren’t even particularly special, a combo of Uniqlo, Athleta, PopFlex, and a few no-name brands.

      Edit: to avoid consecutive wear, you could have two or three pairs a week and rotate them each day.

      Edit 2: added info about my experience with synthetic fabrics.
