Lululemon's new leggings didn't stay on the shelves for long, but they did get shoppers' attention while they were available.
"For $98, I'm not super impressed with these," said TikToker @kathryn.mueller in a video she posted reviewing the new Breezethrough leggings, which were released July 9 and have since been pulled, according to reports from CNN and the Daily Mail.
The photo they used to advertise the pants online was not "super flattering," she said.
Reviewers said they liked the fabric the leggings are made of, but there were more negatives than positives. People complained about the waistband, butt seam and small sizing. Reviewers also said the leggings made their butts look long.
"The fabric is good, the design flaw is in the back seam and makes the butt look completely asymmetrical," said one person on X, formerly known as Twitter. "My girl tried them on and refused to come out of the stall to show me. It's that embarrassing."
USA TODAY reached out to Lululemon for comment.

The seams that are meant to flatter one's behind also go high above the hips.
