As a fluffy individual I find it very difficult to find running attire that not only fits but does not accentuate my ass-ets! I have come to accept how I look (for the time being) and I understand that typically “fat” people don’t run, luckily me and a number of my fluffy friends aren’t fat!
When I first started running distance I ordered a Skirt Sports skirt, I tried
skirt after skirt and well, they didn’t fit me right. So I gave up on them. Then I went to Running Skirts, I LOVE the fact their
capris come with drawstrings. I was
actually able to keep them in place!
Sadly, I had an unpleasant experience with them ONCE and have not
brought myself to forgive them. Wait, I
can’t say that. I do go to their site
from time to time to see if they have anything that blows me away and makes me
forgive them. A few years ago, my dear
friend Lynne introduced me to Sparkle
Skirts, she gave me the NeonLuv as a thank you gift. The first time I wore it to the gym I was a
little hesitant that I would actually stay put.
With no drawstring I was sure it would bounce down and from past
experience I was sure the legs would ride up.
Much to my extreme happiness everything stayed exactly where it was supposed
to. I went on to buy a number more and I
have been happy with each and every purchase!
Recently, I have wanted something a little different. I was over the moon to find out that Skirt
Sports has realized that there is an untapped market in the larger size women but
there are certain things we really appreciate, drawstrings are always a good
thing! I got some (skirtless) capris and they came with drawstrings!!!!!! Then I was in a mood and ordered a Vixen
Capri Skirt and a Heartbreaker
Skirt. I can’t tell you how much I
LOVE the vixen capri skirt! It fits
well, it has a drawstring, it is COMFY!!!!! I can wear it where ever I am going
on my errands, it is wonderful! The
heartbreaker skirt broke my heart. It is
to low cut for someone with a
gut.
There is a VERY strong market for both male and female
running gear that has not been fully tapped.
If I actually had any interest in fashion design I would definitely try
to get into the fitness apparel market.
