I had briefly worn some of the other styles on their shoots, and so I knew that 3XL would likely be the best fit for me, and I asked for a gingham pair and a leopard print pair. A size down wouldn’t go up as high, and so I might get them altered and add some belt loops – one thing that I think they’re missing. I found them quite unforgiving on the old fupa, and I didn’t like how they made my gut look. And so I took some scissors to an old and holey pair of Maidenform shapewear leggings (aff link) and made them a little shorter.

The Ava Fertility Tracker is for women who want to monitor their health for trying to conceive or getting to know their bodies. It’s so interesting to see how things like alcohol and stress really cause my heart rate to go up, and after a good sleep and a day of working and gymming it comes right down. My bracelet has seen how my body has changed each cycle and it can now predict cycle lengths and things like ovulation. I know it might seem unnecessary to some to rely on a gadget to track and log things as people coped fine before all these techy bits came along, but there really is no harm in getting to know your body and it’s cycles a little better.

The prints, the promises of high-waisted items, the sustainability factor… it all seemed amazing! As it I did have the adjust them and pull them up every so often during my weight session, because having a fat body that moves and has rolls means that items have less chance of staying put. The shorter length leggings came up surprisingly high on me, and they lasted ok during a weight lifting session at the gym – but there was lots of pulling up inbetween sets. The lack of wasit tie simpy means that they are pretty bad at staying up, and I am far too squashy to have things just sat on my hips.
