[Aliexpress/Shopee Leggings Review] Wmuncc Shopee and Aliexpress Leggings Review

Price: RM34.99 | $11.94
Brand: Wmuncc
Review: 9/10


My leggings adventure continues! I bought these leggings from Shopee Malaysia, but they are also available on Aliexpress, which ships worldwide for free. It is cheaper for me to have it shipped from the Shopee Site and because they have their own free shipping program that promises a shorter shipping period (~2 weeks or less), I went with Shopee instead of Aliexpress. However, if you're not in Malaysia, Aliexpress is a perfectly fine alternative. 

Wmuncc appears to be a sports apparel shop that is based in China and I chose this particular pair of pants because I rather like the design and I am obsessed with pink. It's such a soft, fun color and I wanted to own it. I bought the pink leggings in Size M and on hindsight, I should have went with my normal size S. 

Wmuncc on shopee offers a lot of sportswears, all of which I want to own. I find that they're cheaper on shopee than on their international Aliexpress site and the administrator for the shopee site says that it is because they're new on the shopee platform and are offering promotional prized items to draw in more new customers, which I take as 'buy everything before the price increases'!

I purchased this early September and it took 2 weeks for the leggings to arrive at my doorstep, which is faster than Aliexpress, which normally takes 4 weeks to arrive. It is made of 72% Polyester, 18$ Nylon and 10% Spandex and has such a fascinating and different texture from any other leggings that I own. The material is almost like knitted cloth inside, with little bumps that leaves a kind of mark on my skin, but it's surprisingly comfortable to wear. I find that whenever I wear polyester-heavy leggings for long periods of time, my skin will get itchy and uncomfortable, but thankfully I have not experienced that with this pair of leggings. I've been wearing this for yoga, cardio, weight-training and just everyday leisurewear.
Size M is pretty loose on me, though I like that the extra length allows me to cover all the way to my heels. My normal pants size is 'S' and size M is kind of loose on me. The waistband is pretty compressive, but because I had gotten the wrong size, the band rests way way up instead of where it's supposed to, and I'm left with a tiny waist, and a huge pouch of a stomach. This is fixable by folding the material down and it's a comfortable enough for me to keep wearing it, but I do wonder if it's a problem with size S as well since the length only varies by 2cm for the S and M. 

My current details: 

Height: 157cm
Weight: 47kg
Waist: 64cm
Hip: 87cm 

I say go with your normal size for this one for the best fit. M was too big for me, but that's really on me for ordering a size up. I keep doing it too cause I like the extra ankle length, which is really perplexing because I am rather... vertically challenged. 157cm is shorter than average and if I'm finding size S leggings too short, I can only imagine how all of you guys feel. >< 

There is no front seam and the cutting is a bit off, but only because I got the wrong size. Everything just sits a little bit wrong. Due to the light-colored material, these leggings are definitely not squatproof. I say go with the darker color if you care about that, but personally, I don't really care. 

Despite the wrong size, I find myself really liking these pair of leggings. For this price, the quality is really perfect for what I'm looking for. I'll purchase others from Wmuncc for sure and actually do have a few other leggings and other assorted sportswears from them that I will be reviewing soon!
