I expected the buttery soft ones to be the most similar to Lululemon Aligns. My first purchase with Colorfulkoala was the brushed ones, which I found more similar to Algins than the buttery soft. These are super soft and fabulous, but they are more "slick". It's best to go commando in these, they will show underwear details, seams, lines, etc. I found these awesome for lounging. I kept feeling like I had to pull them up when I was running, but they didn't cause too much trouble during weights. These are tight on the legs and baggy in the waist. I did not have this issue with the brushed ones. Although most leggings end up being tight in the legs and baggy in the waist with my body, the waist issue is much more pronounced in this material vs the brushed ones. I cant size down because they will be too tight in the butt and legs. I did enjoy these leggings the longer I wore them. They relaxed to the form of my body the further into my workout, which was great for my butt and legs, but not good for my waist... just too baggy in this material... very little bounce-back
