Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Leggings Advice (lemmy.ml)

The winter chills are settling in, and its getting to my bones.

I currently have these old polyester leggings, but they're quite bad at insulation (who would guess a plastic bag is bad at), and they aren't the greatest sensory experience.

I want to upgrade to something of better quality, made of wool / fleece instead for the winter.

I typically don't like reusing leggings, so it would have to be cost-effective enough to buy 8 of them.

What do you recommend?

I have some wool leggings, and because they're itchy I wear them layered over my other leggings first (so it's cotton or poly on the skin, then wool over that).

I don't think you're going to find good wool leggings or wool baselayers that are cheap enough to buy 8 of them. I own 1 - 2 of them and just re-use them (which is easier to justify when you use the cotton layer as the base). I do the same with the top layers, I wear a thin cotton base layer, then layer the wool base layer on top of it. This prevents itching and makes it easier to re-use without washing. I also only have 2 wool top base layers.
