| Oh, yeah! I saw an ad for these on t.v. |
Ever wonder if those "As Seen on TV" products for sale at the local drugstore are worth the money? Me, too! I've been wearing a lot of leggings and jegging-type pants lately because I'm more muscular then ever, which means additional mass on a petite frame like mine, that's still rather recent for me (read: MMA training and other physical arts).
 |
| Sounds miraculous and life-changing at $12.99 a pair! |
It also means most rough, stiff jeans are so chafing to me as to be almost unbearable, and they really haven't ever been flattering on a woman. They're designed for a man's frame. I know I've always looked better in dresses and skirts, and that's a lot for an active former tomboy like me to admit, but it's the truth. I have a fully mature woman's body. So, what else is there to wear?
 |
| They're actually double layered leggings:grey tights over spandex. |
Enter a t.v. ad for a certain type of leggings that look like jeans (called "jeggings"), but are way more comfortable than the tight fit of a denim waistband that also presses a large metal button deep into your body, leaving grooves all over your body, especially when you sit in them for long periods of time. Aha! Genie Jeggings! I saw the ad, and went online to investigate. Uh oh.
 |
| Oh...that's rather low. |
I found users complaining about shady "scammy" type of
behavior, with bad reviews, and/or poor customer service, no product returns, or not
answering product-related emails and phone calls. Not a good sign in business, and
besides that, if it's a bad deal, I don't want three pairs of the same shoddy product! So
when I saw them on sale locally at a drugstore chain packaged as a single
pair, I figured I'd try them out. They'd either work or not, just like any other pair of leggings
or tights at a similar price.
 |
| Ugh: the dreaded plumber's crack. That's not good... |
And they do, if you like really low-waisted, tight leggings. In other words, you gotta have the body for it. They are not "miracle slimmers" as advertised on t.v., but for the average gal running around town doing errands, they're just fine: just don't wear them like ordinary jeans, with a short t-shirt. Treat them like a double-layered pair of leggings with a long shirt, and you're done! Because the inner layer looks like grey flannel, I'd also wear them in the Fall and Winter with boots and a long sweater, not in the damp heat of Spring and Summer.
 |
| ...and you have to be in good shape to pull them off as replacement jeans. |
Good luck, gals! It's a jungle out there, so give yourself a break today during your daily fight for truth, justice, and the American way.
Wear something comfortable! You totally deserve it.
 |
| Definitely not like the box or on t.v.: no high slimming indigo waistband. |
 |
| Ah! Much better when worn with a longer shirt. |
 |
| Yep, better with coverage. I won't be followed around town! |
