Ah, yoga pants. Before entering the world of motherhood, you might have thought these stretchy wonders were solely for, well, yoga. How naive we were!
Yoga pants have become a quintessential mom staple, and rightly so — they’re nothing short of amazing. They enhance your curves, don’t pinch at the waist, and are incredibly comfy, not to mention sometimes stylish. Life without them? Unthinkable. Well, perhaps that’s a bit dramatic, but you catch my drift.
The witty moms on Twitter completely understand our love for these comfy, figure-flattering garments and have a lot to say about our beloved yoga pants:
- Totally justifiable.
When you stumble upon a pair that fits just right, the price tag feels irrelevant. But that shipping fee, though! - What a betrayal!
It’s the ultimate letdown. We know they won’t last forever, but it’s hard to face the reality of their decline once we’ve become attached. - At least you wore pants.
Hey, free snacks while grocery shopping? I say that just gives us more reason to keep rocking them. - Time to unwind.
Yoga pants are the ideal outfit for lounging at home, avoiding social interaction, or even stepping out in public. Their versatility knows no bounds. - Truth hurts.
Only by admitting that we’ll never actually do yoga in our yoga pants can we truly move on. - It’s like they can sense us.
Every pair of yoga pants seems to come equipped with a homing device that alerts mom groups of your presence. Just kidding, but it’d be a little creepy, right? - Bring on the snacks!
Come take a seat next to me. I find these jokes absolutely relatable in every possible way. - They’re incredibly forgiving.
The fact that I managed to wear the same pair throughout my entire pregnancy, even at the end when I weighed more than my husband, says a lot. They truly are magical pants, and that’s why you can’t pry them from our cold, dead hands. - Wardrobe panic.
Is there any greater panic than realizing, “I have no clean yoga pants”? Spoiler alert: absolutely not. - Just do it.
Throw on the pants! They’re the remedy for everything that ails us.
