For the past three years, my exercising regime and everyday life has been centered around one particular piece of activewear: the Fengbay stomach control leggings. When I first found them, I liked the idea of stomach control and having pockets. Now, after many many washes, workouts, and weekend errands, I am ready to give a comprehensive and honest review of these popular leggings.
First Impressions and Key Features:
The Fengbay leggings immediately impressed me with their high waistband and the promise of stomach control. As someone who appreciates a little extra tummy support, this was a major selling point for me. The material felt nice and smooth – and thick, and the idea of non-see-through leggings was also very important. Having inner and outer pockets was another nice surprise, which gave me a way to store my phone, keys, or cards.
Here are the features advertised:
- Stomach Control: The high waistband is definitely the star of the show here. These leggings sit comfortably above the hips and gives a gentle, yet noticeable, compression around the abdomen. It’s not a miracle worker that will instantly shave inches off your waist, but it does offer a smoothing effect and really helps to prevent that dreaded muffin top.
- Non-See-Through Fabric: This is a non-negotiable for me, and thankfully, the Fengbay leggings deliver. The fabric is thick enough to provide adequate coverage, even during deep squats and stretches. I’ve tested them in various lighting conditions and haven’t had any embarrassing see-through moments. In fact, I have to say, these are on the thicker side.
- Inner and Outside Pockets: The pockets are a game-changer! The inner pocket, which is in the waistband, is perfect for storing keys or a small card. The outside pockets on the thighs, are large enough to easily hold my phone, even the larger models. This is really nice for workouts or errands when I don’t want to carry a bag.
- High Waistband: As mentioned earlier, the high waistband is a major plus. The Fenbay Stomach Control Leggings not only gives superior stomach control but also stays in place during workouts, preventing constant adjustments. They stay up, unlike others I have tried that roll down every time you move.
- Improved Blood Circulation (Claimed): This is a harder feature to quantify. The leggings do offer a degree of compression, which theoretically could improve blood circulation. While I haven’t noticed any dramatic changes, I do find that my legs feel less fatigued after long workouts when wearing these leggings. They do fit nice and snug and because of the thicker material, there is some compression.
- Also in Capris: These leggings also come in Capris if you prefer that style.

The Good, the Bad, and the Squat-Proof:
Pros:
- Excellent Stomach Control: The high wide waistband feels very snug and gives a nice comfortable compression. Because of this, they do smooth out the tummy area really nice, giving a flattering shape. If you’re dealing with cellulite, say goodbye to it, because these leggings make everything look so smooth. They are made of 77% Polyester and 23% Spandex.
- Truly Non-See-Through: The fabric is thick and opaque, providing peace of mind during workouts and everyday activities.
- Functional Pockets: The inner and outer pockets are really convenient for storing important things, no need for a bag or to carry a purse.
- Comfortable and Supportive: The leggings are comfortable to wear for extended periods, providing support without feeling restrictive. To be honest, I very rarely even wear jeans anymore because these stomach control leggings are really that comfortable!
- Durable: After three years of regular use, the leggings have held up better than I expected. The material hasn’t really faded (maybe just a bit from washing so much), and the seams (which are double stitched) are still very good and strong.
- Affordable: Compared to other high-end activewear brands, these stomach control leggings are affordable, making them a great value for the price.
Cons:
- Sizing Can Be Tricky: I recommend carefully reviewing the size chart and reading customer reviews before ordering. I initially ordered my usual size, but I didn’t feel they were snug enough. I ended up sizing down for a more comfortable fit.
- Fabric Can Be a Bit Warm: While the fabric is durable and non-see-through, it’s not the most breathable and that’s because these leggings are thicker than most others. They can get a bit warm during intense workouts, especially in hot weather.
- Limited Color Options: While the color selection has expanded over the years, it’s still not as extensive as some other brands. These don’t really come in prints except for camo.
Performance in Action:
Over the past three years, I’ve put these leggings through their paces in various activities:
- Exercise: The high waistband stays in place while exercising , giving support and preventing the leggings from sliding or rolling down. The non-see-through fabric gives me confidence during deep bends and poses.
- Everyday Wear: These leggings are comfortable enough to wear for everyday activities, such as running errands or lounging at home. I wear them everywhere just because they have become the most comfortable pair of pants I now own. The pockets are also convenient when I don’t want to carry a purse.
Washing and Care:
The Fengbay stomach control leggings are so easy to care for! I wash them in warm water on a regular cycle and put them in the dryer along with my other clothes. I don’t do anything special and they hold up great.
Final Verdict:
Overall, the Fengbay stomach control leggings are a great choice for women looking for comfortable, very supportive, and affordable activewear. The high waistband gives excellent stomach control, the non-see-through material offers peace of mind, and the handy pockets are incredibly convenient. While the fabric can be a bit warm and sizing can be tricky, the pros far outweigh the cons.
After three years of consistent use, I can confidently say that these leggings are a staple in my everyday wardrobe. They’re very durable, versatile, and for the price, an excellent value. If you’re looking for a reliable pair of leggings that will support you through your workouts and everyday activities, the Fengbay stomach control leggings are definitely worth considering. You might just find your new go-to leggings! I know I did!

FAQ
How much tummy control do these leggings actually offer? I’m looking for something that will smooth things out but not feel too restrictive.
The Fengbay Stomach Control Leggings are designed to provide firm but comfortable compression around your midsection. The high waistband is key – it gently tucks in your tummy and smooths out any bumps, giving you a more streamlined silhouette. You’ll feel supported and confident without feeling like you can’t breathe! Many customers rave about the comfortable level of control.
Are these leggings truly non-see-through? I’m worried about bending over in the gym!
Absolutely! I know that’s a big concern. These leggings are made with a high-quality, thick, non-see-through fabric. You can bend, squat, and stretch with confidence knowing that you’re fully covered.
What can I fit in the pockets? Are they big enough for my phone?
Yes, I carry my phone with me all the time. They’re large enough to comfortably hold most smartphones, keys, cards, and even small wallets. You can keep your important things close by while you’re working out, running errands, or just relaxing.
I’ve heard compression leggings can help with circulation. Is that true for these?
I can’t make any medical claims, but the compression certainly feels like it could help improve blood circulation. Many women find that compression garments can reduce muscle fatigue and promote recovery after workouts.
How do I care for my Fengbay Stomach Control Leggings to make them last?
To keep your leggings looking and feeling their best, it’s recommended to wash them inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the fabric and reduce its elasticity. Tumble dry on low or, even better, hang them to dry. This will help them maintain their shape and compression for longer!
