Lululemon Pauses North America Online Sales of Get Low Leggings After Complaints

Lululemon temporarily halted online sales in North America of its newly launched Get Low workout collection after early customers reported that the leggings became overly transparent when bending or squatting. The move matters for yoga practitioners who rely on predictable opacity and fit for confidence during poses such as chair pose and forward folds.

On January 20, 2026 the company said the collection would remain available at physical stores while it examined guest feedback and worked on product education, with plans to return the items to e-commerce channels soon. Social media complaints, notably on Reddit, drove much of the initial attention and coincided with a website access issue affecting product pages for the collection.

The pause is a customer-facing response focused on fit and fabric performance rather than a full product withdrawal. For students and teachers who buy online, the immediate impact is straightforward: wait on e-commerce purchases if you want the online convenience, or try the items in-store where you can test movement and lighting before committing. For studio owners and teachers who recommend gear to students, the incident underscores the value of mat-side checks and encouraging students to assess opacity under typical studio lighting.

The situation has broader implications for Lululemon. Shares dipped after the announcement, reflecting investor sensitivity to product missteps and timing challenges. The pause arrives amid heightened corporate scrutiny, including a proxy fight involving founder Chip Wilson and active investor interest in the company’s direction. Lululemon has faced similar product pullbacks in the past tied to sheerness or fit, and the brand framed this step as a way to better understand feedback and support customers and retail teams.

What to do as a buyer: try leggings in person when possible, test dynamic movements like squats and forward folds in the store, and view material under studio-like lighting to check opacity. If ordering once online sales resume, allow time for return or exchange options if the fit or coverage does not meet expectations. Teachers recommending gear can be explicit about these tests to help students avoid awkward on-mat surprises.

This episode highlights how quickly user-shared footage and comments can shape product availability in the yoga market. Expect Lululemon to report back with updates on any fabric or fit adjustments and a timeline for restoring online ordering; until then, in-store trials are the most reliable way to assess the Get Low collection for studio use.
