BBM Fit & Performance

BBM LEGGINGS GUIDE

Find the right fit, compression and length for your body, movement and lifestyle.

Sizing

FIND YOUR PERFECT FIT

Finding the perfect pair of leggings is about more than choosing your usual size. The right fit should feel supportive, comfortable and move with you through every workout. At BBM Activewear, our leggings are designed to sculpt, support and perform—whether you're training in the gym, running errands or relaxing after your workout.

Choose Your Size — our leggings are designed to fit true to size. If you're between sizes, choose the fit that matches how you like to feel.

Sculpting Fit

Choose the smaller size for a more sculpting, compressive fit.

Relaxed Fit

Choose the larger size if you prefer a softer, more relaxed feel.

For the best fit, use your hip measurement first, then your waist measurement if needed. This helps prevent sheerness and ensures your leggings stay comfortably in place during movement.

BBM Fit Tip

Always use your hip measurement as your primary sizing reference.

Fit Check

HOW YOUR LEGGINGS SHOULD FIT

  • Feel supportive without restricting movement
  • Stay in place without slipping down
  • Sit comfortably at your natural waist
  • Pass the squat test without becoming see-through
  • Move with your body during every exercise

If you constantly need to pull your leggings up or they feel painfully tight, it's a sign that a different size may be a better fit.

Size Guide

MEASURING YOURSELF

Waist

Measure around the narrowest part of your waist.
