The waistbands of leggings.

Asda’s are excellent
100% cotton (or thereabouts) so comfy, soft, wash well, and cheap as chips.
I’ve bought leggings three, four the price of Asda’s, and they are definitely the best.

It’s a ‘normal’ covered waist band too - I know exactly what you mean

Ooh, thanks, Fanny. And no wide waistbands?

Xd posts! Thank you.

Currently trying to decide between tight and flattering leggings or saggy but comfortable.

I know how you feel! I'm the same, need a 14 for the legs but a 16 for the waist. I've just ordered some in size L from Asda, as per Fanny's suggestion. It was M or L but when I checked the size chart it was definitely L.

Not being funny, but you could try an extra wide waistband a bit like a yoke. DD2 is a dancer and dance teacher and ladies of all shapes and sizes like the yoke to tuck their tummies in without the band rolling over!

Example, sort of.

Yes, they are great. Would never go back to the thin elastic ones NotTooOld is looking for.

Not sure I'm the right shape for the extra wide waistband option.

I find them unbearably uncomfortable, painful even

Just came back to say thanks for the recommendation, FannyC. My Asda leggings arrived and are excellent. Good price too - £10 for two pairs plus postage.
If anyone else is thinking of ordering, the Large size is just that, large, and I could have probably got away with a Medium. (I am a 14-16). I'm sure it's only five minutes since I was a 12.
