Reducing pilling on leggings, especially between the thighs, is essential for maintaining their appearance and extending their lifespan. Let’s dive into some expert tips that will keep your activewear looking fresh, so you can focus on pushing your limits in the gym and beyond.
-
Choose High-Quality Fabric: Invest in leggings made from high-quality, durable materials designed to resist pilling. Look for options with a higher percentage of synthetic fibers like nylon and spandex. Our Confidence Legging is crafted from a premium blend that not only feels amazing but is also built to withstand the rigors of weightlifting without pilling.
- Wash Gently: Always turn your leggings inside out before washing to protect the outer surface. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as they can break down the fibers and increase pilling. Keep your Buttercream Scrunch Bum leggings looking pristine by following these washing tips!
- Use a Mesh Laundry Bag: Washing your leggings in a mesh laundry bag helps prevent them from rubbing against other garments and surfaces, which can lead to pilling. This is especially important for your favorite Core Legging, which you want to keep in top shape.
- Air Dry: Skip the dryer! High heat can damage fibers and promote pilling. Instead, lay your leggings flat to air dry, keeping them away from direct sunlight. This method will help maintain the vibrant colors and perfect fit of your Confidence Legging.
-
Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of sitting on or leaning against rough surfaces that can snag and rough up the fabric of your leggings. When you’re wearing your Buttercream Scrunch Bum, remember to choose smooth surfaces to keep them looking flawless.
- Use a Fabric Shaver: If pilling has already occurred, a fabric shaver or pill remover can help gently remove the pills without damaging the leggings. This is a great solution to refresh any well-loved pairs you may have.
-
Proper Storage: Store your leggings by folding them instead of hanging. Hanging can stretch the fabric, potentially leading to pilling and loss of shape. Take care of your activewear collection so your Core Legging remains a go-to piece for years to come.
- Limit High-Friction Activities: While it’s not always possible, try to limit activities that cause a lot of friction in the thigh area when wearing your most prone-to-pill leggings. This will help preserve the fabric and keep your leggings looking their best.
By following these tips, you can effectively reduce pilling and keep your leggings looking fabulous for longer. Embrace your workouts and show off your style with confidence in our Confidence Legging, Buttercream Scrunch Bum, and Core Legging.
