Are you looking for workout gear that accommodates your curves? Look no further! Despite what some may claim, leggings are for all body types. For those of us blessed with thighs that are more than just friends, finding stylish workout clothes that can endure anything—from a long day of running errands to an actual run—can be tough.
Enter GRRRL, a revolutionary brand created by Lisa Thompson, renowned for her incredible strength and humor. This athleisure line is tailored specifically for women, designed not just for functionality, but also to celebrate the beauty of women’s curves.

Because you’re a force of nature.
“Women are naturally gifted with wider hips for childbirth,” Thompson explains to Home Insemination Kit. “Biologically, we’re meant to have fuller legs than men, and they admire us for it.” Rather than crafting clothes to disguise or downplay our legs, her designs flaunt your curves with vibrant, playful patterns. “Our thighs deserve recognition. They can crush more than just watermelons,” she quips.

Let them know your strength with this top.
The unique styles aren’t the only impressive aspect of GRRRL; their sizing system is a game-changer. Recognizing that traditional sizing charts can be misleading, they’ve replaced them entirely. You simply take your measurements and choose your fit based on a model’s name that aligns with your size. For instance, if you have a 40-inch chest, opt for a Monique. If your hips measure 36 inches, then Kandyce is your go-to. If your size isn’t listed? Just reach out to them for a custom option designed just for you.

You’re fabulous and you know it!
At GRRRL, models have the choice to wear makeup or not during photoshoots. While they may adjust a logo or remove tags, they avoid Photoshop entirely. “Women are already perfect,” their website states. “We believe women have more crucial matters to focus on than fitting into media stereotypes about how they should or should NOT appear.”
While it’s fantastic to have workout gear that motivates us to get moving, GRRRL aspires for women to tap into their inner strength through fitness. “Our mindset is powerful,” Thompson says. “Women can do incredible things—like giving birth and returning to work the next day. Men complain about a simple cold, and it’s over for them. We’re made for strength and resilience.”
