Help me find....

[namasteak]

Post if you need help finding something too!

High rise compression leggings/crops/shorts without a horizontal seam. All the ones I’ve found have a seam that will hit my incision.

I need to get a gift card for a 9 year old girl and 16 year old girl that are helping us with the kids. Suggestions on stores?

[blondemoment123]

No suggestions on pants.

But for 9 and 16 year olds, I’d probably to Amazon or Target gift cards unless you know they really like a certain store.

No pants suggestions but our 9 yo nephew likes Barnes and Noble gift cards. Possibly the same for 16 yo or I second Target or Amazon.

Any suggestions for inexpensive women's athletic type shorts? I'm looking for $15 range, but more presentable-looking than the Walmart basketball-type shorts. Needed for summer farm chores so they get pretty beat up (catch on things, tear, etc) but nice enough that I don't look like a slob when people stop by the farm stand.

I'm looking for comfy leggings for around the house that stay up.

My compression leggings stay up, but by dinner time I'm like STOP COMPRESSING ME! So I just use those for exercise. My Old Navy yoga leggings are comfy but they don't stay up at all. I've tried a Costco brand and an Amazon brand, same problem.

I have some from Old Navy that I think are presentable. They were close to $20, I think. I had a surprisingly hard time finding athletic shorts that weren’t $40+ a pair.

I have navy pleated trousers they are a little fuller because of pleats but not 90's wide leg or anything. I kind of feel like they need to be worn with a crop top that is not flowy otherwise it would be too much flowiness. But I don't really wear crop tops, so one that comes to the waistband, but would be dressy enough to wear with dress pants. This would be for work. I ordered the pants during the shut down and couldn't try them on. They aren't worth returning, but I don't think any of my normal flowy shirts work with it. Any suggestions?

Old navy athletic wear is 50% off right now.

Not sure what surgery you’re having. But I couldn’t stand anything pressing on the regions where I’ve had surgery. There is so much swelling in the surrounding tissues that I tend to lean toward loose dresses (like the cheap old navy swing dresses.

Cute/comfortable blue light blocking glasses. I have a feeling I may be teaching online all school year based on things said by admin, so I will be staring at a computer for about 8 hours a day.

I have some Danskin ones that are pretty high and I don't think a horizontal piece that would hit a scar. Maybe check them out?

The Old navy Breathe ON shorts are great for this, if you can find them in stock.

Peepers has a good selection. I just got blue light readers from them that I like. They also have blue light only if you don’t need magnification. The lenses don’t have the yellow tint that many cheap blue light glasses do.

Prive Revaux also has cute ones, but their readers were distorted for me so I had to return them.

I had a diastasis muscle repair, hernia repair and tummy tuck. I thought I would like loose dresses & nightgowns but at 2 weeks post op finding I want a little bit of support/compression below my binder.

Where is your incision? Is it low like a c-section incision?

[rebneen]

Cheap(ish) but good air pod knock offs? Do these exist? I feel like I'll need them for zoom.

CurlyQ284 I love Walmart's NoBo sueded leggings for around the house. There are a ton of NoBo leggings, but these are the best. Plus, they are insanely cheap. Ignore the Juniors part. I've found them true to size for women's sizes (ie I wear a large in women's usually and a large in these.)

Yes - it’s like a csection incision but wider (hip to hip)
