Fashion fan mortified after learning the hard way exactly why you shouldn’t work out in Shein leggings

One FASHION fan was mortified after learning the hard way why she shouldn’t wear cheap Shein leggings to the gym.

Nordis took to her TikTok page to share a video of herself pumping irons at the gym, in a pair of pink leggings she picked up from the fast fashion site.

But when she squatted with a bar on her shoulders, her leggings split open right at her butt.

Realizing what had happened, she stood up as fast as she could before putting the bar back on the stand.

Then she turned to examine the damage in the mirror.

“Another reason we need to stop buying cheap Shein tights,” she wrote over the video.

Before adding the headline: “Stop buying SHEIN!”

People quickly took to the comments section, with some insisting the leggings ripped because they were too small.

But others claimed it was because the leggings had the viral scrunch detail on the bottom that they ripped open.

“All the people who said the right size didn’t pass the vibe check,” one wrote.

“I think it’s the scrunch thing. I had such tears even when I wasn’t squatting.”

“This also happened to my more expensive scrunch leggings,” added another.

“So I never squat in my scrunch leggings!”

“It’s just the crunch!!” a third commented.

And others insisted Nordis shouldn’t rule out Shein entirely just because of the issue she’d been experiencing.

“Idk the best leggings I’ve ever owned are from Shein,” one wrote.

“When I’m wearing them, they’re 100% squatproof and the most comfortable I’ve ever had.”

“No I buy all my gym shorts there and I love them,” added another.

A third commented: “I don’t understand people who say don’t buy Shein.

“Shein is fast fashion for a reason, you can’t expect Gucci quality.”

“Did it actually rip a hole or just the scrunch seam?!” someone else asked.

To which Nordis replied: “Like 10 little holes all the way along the seam.”
