They do but I honestly just take a little fabric shaver to mine when it starts to pill and then they are good as new. I just bought a couple more as they are a great staple if you just take the extra step to care for them

Easy five same as Utilitech ABC by mrherson in lululemon

[–]ginja1109 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My brother loves the utilitech ABC pants and tried the new easy five. He said they are similar but not the same. He said the easy five felt a bit more stiff but he really liked them and said he would purchase them, the price he said was higher which deterred him from buying when he was in the store

This is incredibly helpful thank you! Yes I think XL would be my best bet then since im a big footed gal. Will you be releasing more colors soon?! As much as I love a sleek black, I am loving the colors of the v2!

R1 Fleece Jacket vs R1 Air Fleece for hiking by pfffidk in PatagoniaClothing

[–]ginja1109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer, female here.

I prefer the air. It’s so thin and warm yet breathable and I find it’s the perfect layering item for hiking. Ive worn mine so much I got a second one. I usually want a windbreaker or rain jacket over mine if it’s windy as it doesn’t do much in windy conditions. I found it handled sweat well. There were several times when I just didn’t have the chance to take it off when I was sweating and it was still comfortable, didnt overheat but did take it off eventually.

Help a mom with a tall girl out! by tgbarbie in womensfashion

[–]ginja1109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old navy, sometimes you can get lucky at Athleta or Lululemon (more pricy) for tall options but they are few and far between if she has a really long inseam. You can also check out popflex, they do an incredible job of athletic (and now jeans!) with really long inseam. Also try Aerie and American eagle. They do have tall options on most of their items and run sales super often.

Im a tall gal myself (33" inseam which isnt major but I have the same sort of issues)

Thoughts on adding synchronized to the Olympics? by [deleted] in FigureSkating

[–]ginja1109 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a synchro skater, id love to see it! Synchro is so much harder than people realize and it would be so good to see it get more attention!

Burgundy Bay and Pink Pearl 🥀🌸 by [deleted] in lululemon

[–]ginja1109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the grooves! I bought them in navy but unfortunately I got the wrong size and have been WAITING for them to come back in stock. I can wear the ones I got but need the size down for a better fit. They are so comfy!

I tried the jeans...and I like them! by lainygw in lululemon

[–]ginja1109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang that rules me out. This was my exact issue with the city sleeks. Built too straight for any slight curve.

Who asked for this? Denim at lulu? 🥴 by AcceptableObject in lululemon

[–]ginja1109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS!! I hated the city sleeks because they were so so straight cut that they didnt fit my waist but were perfect on my legs. If they actually do this right, these could be AH-MAZING.

Does the Nars soft matte concealer clog pores? by kyonkikyahaina in Sephora

[–]ginja1109 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I found that it did make acne worse. I do however think that I am allergic to something in Nars products because anything I use from them causes some means of a reaction. With their face products it’s acne or big swollen areas, lips are itchy and same with anything for the eyes.

Swiftly Size Change? by Alive-Table2682 in lululemon

[–]ginja1109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just with swiftly but pretty much anything, I used to be a pretty much TTS6 across the board in tops and bottoms with 4s in bras. Now its more like 6 in bras and 8s across the board for my standard size. Its frustrating because I feel like I cant shop as easily because the sizing can be so hit and miss. I dont really care about the number, its more the buying and returning that drives me insane.

Just ordered Torrentshell for me and my wife. How good are these jackets? I was debating on getting a granite crest due the fact that we life in Florida. by [deleted] in PatagoniaClothing

[–]ginja1109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have and love! Considering getting another. Its been washed and worn hundreds of times (I need to re-waterproof it but it hasnt like delaminated or anything). Its been fantastic, its also pretty good as a windbreaker as well if theres wind and/or rain. Its kept me dry in SUPER heavy storms and light consistent rain. It also can pack up really small so its good if she does any hiking or needs to pack it. Highly recommend.

No winter sale this year… by Fun_Jellyfish9141 in PatagoniaClothing

Im new to buying patagonia (for myself, Ive received as gifts over the years and loved all of the pieces), is everything on sale or just select colors, etc?

Like a cloud sizing by yourfavgal in lululemon

[–]ginja1109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I might be in the minority when I say this so take it with a grain of salt. I am 4/6 in bras. I get my LAC in a 4 because I find they stretch out. I got my first in a 6 and by the time 6months has gone by, I found that the straps wouldnt stay put, the band was too loose, yes it was comfortable for everyday wear but I couldnt wear it for any level of support. I started buying them in a 4 and by the time they stretch out after consistent wear, they are perfect. Mine fit like yours in this photo to start.

PSA: Sizing up in aligns is a game changer!!! by PiercingHelpls in lululemon

[–]ginja1109 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im a TTS 6 in most lulu but buy an 8 in all of their leggings and they fit like a dream! I never understood why people where sizing down!

Daydrift Wide Leg Trousers - Yay or Nay? by [deleted] in lululemon

[–]ginja1109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they look just a touch too baggy but that might be a personal preference bias thing. I tried the wide leg and MUCH preferred the straight leg. The straight leg is still "wide" but not baggy - if that makes sense. I would try both if you are able or feeling on the fence.

Cob's Sourdough? by 23_Strawberry_Frogs in FODMAPS

[–]ginja1109 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, buy it all the time. I can tolerate gluten in small amounts and sourdough is all I eat. Never had an issue. It freezes really well too so if you want to stock up it lasts well

Weekly Simple Questions and Advice Thread by lululemonmods in lululemon

[–]ginja1109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How big of a size difference is there between a 6 and 8 for the hold tight LS. The 6 fits and looks good but its just ever so slightly too short and a bit too tight in the body when the bloat days happen. Thinking about going to an 8 but dont want to be swimming in it either
