Its been my experience that buying these jeggings is a little like playing roulette. Sometimes they run a size or two smaller than they're supposed to, sometimes they're ok. The colors can be hit or miss too, like the black are just a dark navy. You can expect to hang onto these for two to three months before the thighs start to break at the seam. You absolutely have to wash on a gentle cycle on warm (at the hottest) and hang dry them. I work for a hardware store lifting and bending so they're durable if you don't mess them up with extreme heat (like from a dryer). There is a strong chemical smell and your legs will be blue long after the first wash.
