Should I size down in NULU fabric?
The Nulu fabric retains its shape pretty well but also has a lot of stretch. Some people have sized down in Align leggings. We recommend getting two sizes and seeing which one fits best.
Does NULU shrink?
Caring for your lululemon
Be sure not to put your lulu in the dryer: instead, let it air dry on a drying rack or even your shower curtain rod. While lulu will not shrink in the dryer, over time, heat damages the stretchy fibers and will cause items to wear out and lose their shape faster.
Does Lululemon stretch out?
Lycra is woven into the fabric, which means they won’t stretch out no matter how many times you wear them and they feel buttery soft to the touch.
Are Align leggings supposed to be tight?
Support. The Lulu Aligns aren’t designed for max support, rather, they are advertised as having a “barely there” feel. The double-faced waistband is relaxed with a subtle “hold-you-in” fit. If you prefer a more compressive waistband fit, I recommend going one size down.
How tight should Lululemon leggings be?
Squat like a frog, as low as you can go.
If you can see the white Lululemon tag through the pants, or anything else, your pants are too tight. Go up a size or two, even if the length isn’t quite right.
Which Lululemon has the most compression?
Best Compression: Lululemon Swift Speed High-Rise Tight 28″
Made from Luxtreme, a lightweight and stretchy performance fabric, these running leggings will provide you with squat-proof coverage while staying flexible.
Does lululemon NULU pill?
You can make an effort to wear these leggings to low to medium-impact sports to prevent pilling. Extended use and washing will cause pilling. Wear multiple times before washing your Nulu.
Should I size down in lululemon?
lululemon dresses typically run small. I definitely recommend sizing-up in their dresses and evening wear. If you are on the smaller end of the lululemon’s size spectrum (sizes 4 and under), your lululemon dress size will fit much smaller than your true size.

Do leggings get looser?
Just Wear Them
Elastic will always loosen over time and leggings contain a lot of it (lycra or spandex). When you put them on, they’ll stretch to fit your body and, over time, they’ll relax to hold that shape. The more you wear them, the quicker this will happen.
What material is NULU?
Nulu is some of the softest material I’ve ever put on my skin. The crazy popular Align legging—and the entire Align line, for that matter—is made of Nulu fabric, which is a buttery soft blend of 81% nylon and 19% Lycra elastane, per the company website.

But, Wunder Under is definitely thicker for more intense workouts while Align is more lightweight and breathable. To put it another way, if you do more intensive training, the Wunder Under leggings can keep up whereas the Align leggings can join you on the couch afterward.
Do Lululemon leggings shrink in the dryer?
Do Lululemon Leggings Shrink? All Lululemon leggings are pre-shrunk, which means that they won’t shrink much, if at all. With that being said, it’s possible that they may shrink up to 2% when they are washed with hot water and dried using high heat.

What length Lululemon leggings should I get if I’m 5 2?
The waistband stayed up even during a particularly intense “Reunite With Your Core” yoga flow, and the 25″ length was the perfect fit for my 5’2 frame. (FYI, taller folks can shop legging styles in a 28″ and 31″ inseam length.)
How do you stretch the waist of Lululemon leggings?
Soak in Baby Shampoo
After half an hour, wring out the water and place your leggings on a flat surface. Secure both legging bottoms or ends separately with weights. The baby shampoo and warm water both work to soften the fibres. This will help the material relax and stretch more quickly.
Which Lululemon leggings are thickest?

How long do Lulu leggings last?
2-5 years
On average, Lululemon leggings last for 2-5 years if cared for properly. Some women I know have even had their Lulus for nearly 10 years! Yogis and runners often brag about how durable their leggings really are. They withstand everyday wear and hold up to regular washes (as long as you wash them correctly).
