What’s your experience with thongs with plastic strips? (ani.social)
 

I mean like the picture

the thongs I wear under my leggings for sport, work and lounging are 100% of the same fabric, but never rubber or plastic strips. I can wear this thongs for 10 hours straight and nothing pinches or feels strange.

I’ve never used a thong with rubber or plastic strips. It looks good but I don’t know if it’s gonna feel uncomfortable.

When I say sport I mean running, yoga and pilates involving lots of stretching

does it really work to wear brand new leggings wet for the first time so they mold better to your figure and last longer? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

the synthetic leggings I've been wearing for 2 years are now an inch wider on my waist and 2 inches longer. I've been doing stretches, running, cardio, yoga... If I put the old ones on, my butt looks like a peach one, with the crease up to half of my buttocks. If I wear a brand new one, same brand and model, no crease, my butt is a ball.

The old ones will retain their consistency and form, but I have to slightly adjust them after squatting. Now imagine a leg, the upper leg sits normal but the lower leg is bend outwards: that's what creases look like on the old legging.

My weight hasn't changed, hips and waist are equal. Is this a normal level of stretching?

I also don't know if my butt looks silly with that crease on it or if I should stop wearing them (unwanted attention) but I can really stretch a lot and they're easier to wear than the brand new ones, which are at this point very tight.

Do you put on your leggings like sheer tights?

    what's the best way to remove print residue from synthetic yoga leggings? (ani.social)
     

    these are sport and yoga asics leggings with a logo so worn off I peeled it off completely but there is still some visible, white-ish residue, some kind of adhesive I assume.

    I found https://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Prints-from-Clothes but I don't know if any of those solutions would work to completely remove the residue, plus, I've never done this, so asking for your advice.

    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.

    what do I need to look for when buying running and pull up gloves? (ani.social)
     

    a same pair for running, yoga, pilates and pull ups and other core exercises in winter.

    what I use now are regular leather gloves. While thin for leather, they're a bit stiff sometimes. I was wondering if there's something out there that might be better.

    When it's temperate I don't use gloves, function is mostly to keep me warm while I train.

    is it normal to feel tired for weeks after running and doing yoga every day for almost 6 months? (ani.social)
     

    I feel like I'm in a bad rut.

    My routine for the last 6 months was to exercise, run, work my core, do yoga, stretch, even do some handstands. I'd do it before having breakfast, it'd be the first thing I do after waking up. These training sessions would last anywhere from 60 minutes to 3 hours. Even if I felt tired I stick to this routine because it helps me work better (I'm a nurse, so most of my shifts I have to walk a lot anyway).

    The longer I've been doing this routine, the shorter it gets on my working days: 6 months ago I would train longer than one hour and go to work, but in the last 2 weeks all I've achieved is some stretching, some running and then I just sit next to the trail and admire nature because I don't have energy to do anything else.

    I don't know how big of a role temperature plays: it's almost 90 here (Farenheit) and very sunny.

    Is this a phase? Is my body telling me to tone it down? Is it just the summer?

    Overall I'm in better shape and have less back pain, I even walk better but I feel tired.
