I tried these Walmart dupes for $98 Spanx leather leggings – they’re only $16 but the sizes are a mess

TWO YouTubers have shared their reviews of Walmart dupes for Spanx leather leggings, and they were not pleased with the sizing.

In a video posted on the Clevver Style channel, YouTubers Madeleine Byrne and Sinead de Vries tested the Walmart dupe, which was first shared on TikTok by user @talesofasouthernbelle.

The girls said they tried on the dupe to "decide whether or not we would go with the dupe or splurge and still buy the original."

The original Spanx goes for $98 and comes in sizes XS to 3X, and also short, regular, and long options.

The YouTubers tried the Spanx sized Regular, Medium.

"That's one of my favorite things, and I will pay for good length options, cause I have the tall disease," Madeleine said.

"[The regular sized] are pretty long so all my tall girls, if you are going to invest in the Spanx, you're probably okay even getting the Regular,"

The YouTubers rated the Spanx "excellent," arguing the material doesn't change color or texture when you put them on.

Additionally, they said it can be both an everyday legging or worn to work out.

When it came to the Walmart dupe, which is sold for $15.96.

These, however, only come in sizes Small to XXXL, and in just one length, which left the YouTubers "bummed out."

Sinead said: "This is an excellent dupe but I was wearing the Small in the Spanx, and I'm wearing the Small in these, and they're just not the same.

"I don't feel snatched. I definitely don't feel comfortable enough to work out, but if these came in XSmall, I'd want them in every shade."

Additionally, the YouTubers said the Walmart leggings were compression style, like the Spanx, and instead more of a "fashion legging."

"The [Walmart leggings] are obviously a lot thinner, they're obviously worse quality, they're not going to last you as long as the Spanx ones," said Sinead.

"But I don't think that these are trash, either," she added. "They're pretty well-made, it's just a huge bummer because they don't fit [in the waist area]."

The YouTubers concluded that those looking for a one-off should go for the Walmart dupe, while those who want comfort, and a good fit that also works for exercise, should go for the Spanx.

Other reviewers, however, have not loved the Spanx as much, with one TikToker claiming they make noise when worn, which makes them uncomfortable.
