Plus-Size Active Wear in the Philippines


Wearing head-to-toe Adidas for Day 55 of #PapayatKaNaMaye

To my fellow Chubby Chic's out there, where in the Philippines can I find a local but good quality high-waist workout leggings? I've always been a fan of local brand Sassa, you can only see them in selected department stores like Landmark or Metro Market! Market! so it's a good thing some of their items are now available through Zalora.
I'm taking inspiration from plus-size model Ashley Graham since I turned a Size 16 after giving birth. Ms. Graham has embraced her plus-size body and it has obviously paid off, even landing one of the covers for January 2020 ish of Vogue US.



Going back to leggings, here's Ms. Graham wearing high waist leggings during a workout in NYC.

I tried to search for the brands that she usually wear but obviously they're too expensive for a stay-at-home mom like me. πŸ˜… Apart from Sassa, I regularly buy my workout clothes from Adidas and shop only when it's sale season. Haha.

Anyway, a fellow mom shared that she works out with Cotton On's body active wear and I decided to check the store last weekend where I got the last stock in XL for Php1200:



They make you feel like you're wearing compression leggings, a bit tight to wear during first try. But what I loved the most is that it really is high waist and the waist band never rolled down and literally stayed in place. πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ The fabric used is a bit thick too so don't worry about see-through panties (but I do suggest to wear black undies just to be sure). I'm liking it so far and might get a few more if Cotton On Philippines will offer them on sale. πŸ˜‰

But going back to my original question, I wish more local brands offered good quality plus-size active wear. I mean, I'm sure you can all relate that it's nice to workout when you have really good looking workout clothes. LOL

Once this blog becomes a success, maybe it would be a great idea to launch a Chubby Chic brand. A girl can dream... πŸ₯°

P.S. #PapayatKaNaMaye is still on and I'm currently on Day 55 as I type this post. So far, I weigh the same (193lbs) but I do feel that my old clothes are starting to fit my body again so that's good news.

  1. The other reason why so many gamers search it out is the lowest home edge. As was talked about earlier, the commission of Banker's win is 5% of the wager that's already included in the 1.06% of the Banker's home edge. Despite 카지노 the excessive payout should you to|must you} win, the tie wager stings you with an astronomical home edge of 14.44%. As it is so unlikely to really happen, you're higher off saving your money and betting on the player or the banker as a substitute. As with many other table video games at casinos, betting methods could be applied to scale back back} the losses you will make from a game, and hopefully also increase your winnings.
