DanskinWomen's Essentials Ankle Legging

Loved the color and the fit..hard to find Xsmall and they were perfect..will order more.

The only gripe I have is that the waist band folds in half when I sit as it is lower than my natural waist.

Offers zero compression anywhere.

Like the last review, these leggings look great on my wife. She wears them for many purposes besides workouts. She also likes the cell phone pocket.I like to see her in them, too.

I bought them for my wife. I'll let her write from here.If I could give these leggings 100 stars I would. Buy them, buy them, buy them!!!Danskin, if you are smart NEVER, EVER, EVER CHANGE THEM. You have a winner with these!Ladies if you're smart you'll NEVER OWN ANYTHING BUT THESE! You'll love them.My husband let me do some extra shopping because I had complained about my frustration in regards to leggings that I already had my impossible quest to obtain the illusive perfect pair I could not find. My leggings were old, worn out and I had not been able to find new ones. The ones I had were over 10 years old!You know, leggings that are of real material not tissue paper you can see through or with material so thin the wind whistles through them, or that sag, bag, stretch or pill. These are 'real' leggings! Substantial weight material. A little on the heavier side but that's fine by me considering they look, feel, cover and fit exactly like the original good 'ol leggings of the 80s and 90s. Great amount of stretch, good shape retention, very nice high waistband, and the length was absolutely perfect does not hang in the crotch. I am 47 years old, 5 foot 3 inches tall and weigh 111 (heaviest) to 107 lightest. Any weight I do hold is below the belly button. I bought size Small in a Petite length.Now, I put these things to the test! I put on a pair of white granny panties under my leggings and walked to a full length mirror. I bent over and looked. Saw only legging and full coverage---no white from the underwear showing through, no VPL and nothing that showed the material was getting stretched beyond what it should (we won't talk about my behind). I then did a few squats. The fabric in the thighs and knees behaved the same way. Full coverage, no stretching, no sheerness. When I stood up there were no sags, bags and the crotch did not hang. These leggings went right back to shape.To ensure my test results were accurate I wore these same pair of leggings for 3 days in a row! I knelt, bent, stretched, reached, sat, squatted and even...GASP...dared to walk the dog in them with a shirt that was shorter than what I would normally wear over them. Since I got no stares of shock and horror this confirmed they more than adequately covered my behind. Also my 3 day endurance test confirmed these ARE THE BEST leggings ever.I have 3 pair. I plan on ordering 6 more.LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Them.Danskin...don't you ever change a thing about them...I'm begging for me and all the other women in the world who want to reclaim our right to the perfect black legging!I do suggest washing these leggings like I do all of my precious clothes I want to keep as new as possible: turned inside out; use delicate cycle, cold water wash and cold rinse, line dry.

The last couple times I have ordered these leggings (because I love them) the length has been messed up. I get the same size every time but the length is different with some pairs. I am 5’5” and these leggings have always been past my ankles.. perfect. Last time I ordered 3 pairs (same size) and 2 were perfect… one pair is way above my ankle. I just received another 2 new pairs. One is the normal length and the other is super short again. Not sure what is going on but definitely not my favorite go to pair of leggings anymore. :( time to look for new ones.

Exactly what I wanted these tights are mostly cotton and not the shiny ones that ballet dancers might wear. they are perfect for warmth and covering with a dress or a long sweater.

So incredibly disappointed with these leggings! Danskin used to be my favorite leggings in the world but they are made differently now. They are stiff in the legs and the wider yoga style waistband is stiff and a little loose! More stretch and "give" needed for them to be truly comfortable. Newer is not always better. Returning them immediately.

Love it!

These leggings are so comfortable they're to die for. Perfect fit and length. They're soft yet hold you in place. I've already ordered another pair. They also wear like a dream I've had my 1st pair for almost a year and shows no wear.

The material and thickness is great but these run much larger than other danskin leggings I’ve owned. I took a small in my other leggings from them that are tight, but risked ordering an xs in these and even after trying to shrink them in the dryer there’s back gap on the waistband. I will have to sew more elastic in. Definitely “vanity sizing”.

Danskin leggings are so wonderfully made. Soft and sturdy and breathable cotton/poly/spandex material, and the Fit is VERY true to size. Waistband doesn't roll, and they're great for my Yoga workouts!

They’re ok but for the price would of been nice if it gave my behind some nice lift or shape. Doesn’t hold it in at all. Amazingly fast delivery tho!
