No way! I've been wearing mine for like four days, and they still make my bum look super fine. That's weird.
I wore the dark blue ones for literally ten days in a row once. That sounds gross but it's not as if I was rolling around in dirt. I also have an extremely round butt and smallish legs, so maybe the body shape matters. That's like, mindblowing.. every girl I worked with was so impressed with those jeggings for NOT stretching out. Maybe you need a smaller size!

I wanted to update my original post. I have purchased several different styles of jeans now. The funny thing is that I get a lot of compliments every time I wear one particular pair of jeans. I literally mean every time I wear these jeans. In fact, it makes me want to go buy some more. The jeans that I get the most comments on are Chics. I am pear shaped. They are a basic jean that have some stretch. Nothing fancy at all. I purchased them in a very unlikely store, too. The store is called Fred's. It's kinda like a Dollar store, but the prices are not a dollar of course, and they sell a variety of household goods. I think the jeans were like $17.99. There is something about this style of jeans and my body type that work really well together.

I looked at their jeans online first so I would have an idea of what they have available and their sizes. I definitely did not want to go in there if they didn't even carry my current size. The other thing is that I get overwhelmed with shopping. I am uncomfortable anywhere except the plus sized department or plus sized store. I am always thinking the other shoppers are looking at me and saying to themselves that I am too fat for that area and I don't belong there, etc. I am working on this little by little by going into these stores and just trying to be normal.

Anyways, I picked up a couple pairs of jeans that I saw online and went to the dressing room. I tried the jeans on and they fit! I didn't like the style on me though. I am not use to the lower rise or the boot cut. Today I am going where I normally buy jeans and look at their different styles.

It was amazing, for the first time in my life, to be able to go to the Gap and try on jeans.

I sure know how that feels being at fashionbug and having people glance at you.Listen,I am not skinny or plan to be,but I have spend great deal of time looking for jeans with spandex and good price.Google "TJ MAX"AND "MARSHALLS"Stein mart" They have great priced clothes and great jeans,I got my brandalu jeans at tj max for 19 bucks and blouse for 6 bucks.

I love the brands bandalou and 17/21 exclusive jeans,I am a size 6-8 varies on brands and I can say that I could careless of losing all the weight,but the jeans make it feel like its reachable to get there.

Josephine chaus makes there jeans w/4 percent spandex,I have still old pair of casual corner,I hate they closed that store.

I am young but,I do use some orginal brands like levi's jeans too.

When you have time make sure your looking for those brands bc,they have stretch built in the jeans and FX SHAPEWEAR and Slim Cognito Mid-Thigh Shaping Bodysuit,I have 2 pairs and I have to say best investment it is comfortable and shapes my body and I feel naked without my shapewear.Even if I get back into my goal weight,I will still wear it.


Don't give up and I hope I helped you.

Express makes the Editor pant (best pant cut EVER) in denim now. They're very flattering. Both me and my mid-fifties aged mother bought them and they're appropriate on both of us. As a positive, they also come in short and tall.

Munchy I will take a look at those. Thanks.
