Lululemon vs. Splendid

[maylips]

Okay, so since no one has replied to my LLL nursing pajamas, I'm thinking I'll just get a couple of Bravado nursing tanks and wear yoga pants.

I've read about those of you who rave over Lululemon, but does anyone feel that way about Splendid pants? I know the shirts are pretty popular here and just wanted to see if anyone has both to compare the two.

I'm interested to know as well! I love the Splendid tops but have yet to try the pants. What are Lululemon's like?

I have two pairs of Lululemon pants, and I find them comfortable. However, they do not wash well and end up looking old very quickly, and for this reason, I do not believe they are worth the high price. I first wore one of the pants on a plane trip, and by the end of the day, the pants had stretched out significantly. I washed them according to Lululemon's instructions and only with other similar colors (darks), and they pilled terribly. They looked so old after a single wearing and wash that I don't even like to wear them in public anymore. The other pants also pilled and just looked old after I washed them, even on the delicate cycle. I don't think that's worth it for a $100 pair of pants. I have dri-fit pants from Nike that I've had for years that still look and feel new.

I had a similar experience with a pair of Lululemon's yoga pants. I was told not to wash them with towels, which I didn't, but they look terrible after being washed and dried with my children's mostly knit clothes (in cold on delicate). Maybe if I'd washed/dried them separately they'd have fared better. I've gone back to buying from Old Navy. Definitely not high quality, but they fit me just as well and I can buy at least 5 pairs for the price of one Lululemon. Anyway, I'm interested in hearing about Splendid. I had some cute Splendid clothes for dd, I didn't realize they did adult clothing.

I have a LOT of Lululemon stuff. You can't wash it with basically anything else -- lulu black pants only with lulu black pants or possibly dri fit black pants. Yoga tops only with other lulu yoga tops.

My 10yo lulu stuff looks brand new. Trust me, it gets a lot of use.
