Yoga Pants Approved Product
FIJJIT was born out of a universal truth for so many women. Founder Vicky Hann shares her inspiration behind the brand:
I had felt uncomfortable in gymwear for years. As life moved on and my shape changed the options for gym attire stayed the same. Instead of feeling confident I’d fidget and get frustrated, focused more on my exposed midriff than the downward dog or 10 burpees I was supposed to be doing.
Yet, one day I realised I wasn’t alone. Sharing a bench (socially distanced of course!) during lockdown with a friend, I had an epiphany when chatting… the lack of suitable gym clothes was in fact a problem shared by many women regardless of age, shape or size.
I searched high and low for alternative products. But whilst I could find the same old outfits in larger sizes, where were the outfits designed for those with a tummy? Where were the outfits for those with bigger boobs? How about a bigger bum? Or for that matter, where were the outfits for all three?!
Let’s face it, it’s hard enough getting to the gym, without also feeling rubbish about your outfit! I wanted an outfit that wouldn’t make me fidget. I wanted to concentrate on the exercise, rather than the clothes I wore. And yes, I also wanted something that would flatter my whole body – lumps and bumps and all.
FIJJIT is about helping you move without worrying about what you look like. Whilst I may not be breaking press-up records. I do deserve to feel confident, comfortable, and good about myself. And so do you.
Review by Caroline Measures – Licensed Menopause Champion and also Assistant Editor of Menopause Life Magazine has trialed them for herself and says;
“I can and I will.” That’s how I feel when I put on my all-in-one outfit from Fijjit! For years, I’ve put up with waists that are too high, too low, or roll down when I’m exercising. I’ve got leggings that are practically see-through when I bend down or so thick that the material is stiff and too hot. With Fijjit, however, they’ve got it just right! The fabric is soft, silky, and stretchy with a good amount of support that holds everything in place while I’m jogging and there’s no risk of see-through with the perfect blend of fibres. I don’t need to worry about a muffin top or belly exposure when I run and the suit seems to flow with my body and makes me feel fantastic when I put it on!
At first, it felt slightly unusual to put on a one-piece for exercise, but now I’m disappointed on the days when it’s in the wash and I’ve got to wear my old leggings and vest! I wouldn’t be without it now for comfort, flexibility, and keeping me cool and dry even when I start to sweat. I’ll be ordering another one very soon and highly recommend Fijjit for producing activewear with women in mind. Bravo!
