Okay, here’s my confession: I have a pair of LuLaRoe leggings. Just one, but my daughter has a pair too. They were sent to us for free ages ago in exchange for a social media shoutout. Honestly, I have mixed feelings. First off, I wasn’t a fan of any of the patterns offered, so I picked the least awful one, which clashes with everything in my wardrobe. BUT, they are undeniably the most comfortable leggings I’ve ever worn. They feel like absolute butter against my skin. Are they magical like $100 Lululemons or Spanx? Nope. Do I care? Nope. Comfort is my love language—even if the color is a bizarre green with orange triangles. (Seriously, what is this pattern?)
As for my animal-loving daughter? She hit the jackpot with fox-themed leggings sent by the consultant. Granted, they were also in an odd color (maybe burnt orange?) and didn’t match anything, but she wore those leggings for ages. They’re a size 5, and she still rocks them as capris, even now in 5th grade.
I totally understand the allure, LuLaRoe fans. The world was swept up in the legging/MLM/”be your own boss!” craze, searching for a comfortable alternative to real pants, and many of us fell for it. The leggings were cozy and not too expensive, so we bought. And bought. And then some of us started selling them too.
That’s when things took a turn for the worse.
I own a few LuLaRoe pieces and get compliments on them regularly. My confession? I don’t think all of it is hideous (though a lot is), and they’re super comfy!
Confessional #25792393: I’m not thrilled with how I look in my LuLaRoe leggings, but they are so forgiving and comfy!
Confessional #11459400: Just last week, I thought LuLaRoe was ridiculous. I bought a pair from a friend to support her, and now I have 9 pairs, vowing to never wear real pants again.
Confessional #1783796: This toxic MLM targets women with one fundamental need—comfort. We’re on the floor with toddlers, running errands, changing diapers, and dealing with spills. For heaven’s sake, just give us comfy pants! We don’t care if the patterns resemble hotel carpets; we’re already covered in peanut butter and jelly!
Confessional #11261199: I detest that LuLaRoe stuff but saw a pair of Winnie the Pooh leggings, and now I’ve joined two groups and ordered three pairs, but I missed out on my “unicorn.” They got my money and my soul.
Confessional #2348255: I have to convince myself to be intimate. I even give myself rewards… “Okay, you can get three new pairs of LuLaRoe leggings because you put out this week.” What has happened to me? I used to love it; now I’m obsessed with leggings.
Confessional #6501706: So, which is my confession? That I own LuLaRoe leggings or that they no longer fit me? 🙁
Confessional #4988949: After 7 hours at work, all I’ve accomplished is searching for the LuLaRoe Disney Randy I’ve wanted forever.
Confessional #2813385: In the last two weeks, I spent over a THOUSAND dollars on LuLaRoe! I discovered it a month ago, and I’m addicted! I think I need to give up shopping for Lent. I can’t stop!
Confessional #1772169: My husband would freak if he knew how much I spent on LuLaRoe in the past six months.
Confessional #1768691: LuLaRoe is going to make me go bankrupt.
As our closets filled up, our bank accounts dwindled. Our partners had no idea what was happening other than witnessing a constant parade of eye-catching leggings adorned with geometric shapes, fireworks, jack-o-lanterns, and giant cat faces.
It frustrates me when my sister-in-law refers to herself as a “small business owner” or “entrepreneur.” You sell LuLaRoe clothing! And please stop buying inventory—10,000 pieces in your garage equal DEBT. I want my nephews to afford college.
Confessional #25790611: My friend is so obsessed with LuLaRoe that I’m convinced she has a mental disorder. She sent me a picture of her closet with over 300 LLR shirts. Apparently, she has another closet for pants, and she’s always broke.
Confessional #24867015: I’m embarrassed for my college friend who sells Posh and LuLaRoe.
Confessional #7726922: LuLaRoe leggings are so ugly! I can’t say that out loud because my friend is a distributor. I unfollowed her on Facebook because I got tired of the incessant videos and live sales.
Maybe you never got sucked in—maybe you saw the MLM train wreck for what it was from the start. But I bet you have a friend or relative who dove in headfirst, and you cringed while dodging their “host a party!” invites.
I support my friends who love LuLaRoe, but I think a lot of it looks like hotel carpet.
Confessional #5021799: I never got on the LuLaRoe bandwagon. No adult woman needs to wear pizza slices, puppies, or cheeseburgers on her body. Plus, the refusal to sell solid colors was absurd.
Confessional #23172157: Every time I see LuLaRoe promo photos, I feel a little nauseous. Those outfits are atrocious! Who wears that?
Confessional #22633716: I think 99% of LuLaRoe items are hideous. It’s unfortunate that so many of my Facebook friends sell it.
It’s perplexing why the patterns were so unappealing. What about “let’s make everyone look like they’re in a dentist’s waiting room” seemed like a good idea? Yet it worked, so they must have known what they were doing.
I don’t think anyone looks good in LuLaRoe. I don’t understand the obsession.
Confessional #3353446: I have zero understanding of the LuLaRoe leggings craze. I might have to surrender my woman card.
Confessional #7978786: LuLaRoe and Lipsense are overpriced and tacky.
Confessional #4055757: Most LuLaRoe clothes feel frumpy, and I don’t get the appeal.
If you never joined this trend, you might have felt like an outsider when everyone was hosting LuLaRoe parties. “Girls night! Drink some wine and shop!” Meanwhile, you thought, “No thanks, I’d rather stab my eyes out with toothpicks.” Most of us have since realized how flawed the MLM model—especially this one—truly was.
We see now that those Winnie the Pooh leggings weren’t the “great buy” we initially thought they were.
The truth is, the LuLaRoe cult was real, and MLMs continue to target women today. Keep an eye on your friends. Support those who are genuinely pursuing their passions and making sound investments. But if someone is burning cash to “be their own boss” through questionable merchandise and pressuring friends and family to buy it, you need to step in and call out the nonsense. Save your friends before it’s too late. And more importantly, save yourself.
