Years ago, when I lived in Austin, I discovered the fantastic brand, "Women in Motion." It was created by a local woman (my favorite kind of business from which to buy) and had support where women need it most - inner thighs, lower belly, across the sacrum. The pants were additionally created so there wasn't a seam in the middle of the crotch - which is not at all a comfortable seam location for women!

No joke, I've own 3 pairs of black workout pants from Women in Motion for over six years and have worn them constantly. Aside from minor fading of the black, they show ZERO wear and tear. All stitching is intact, there is no pilling and the supportive lycra is just as supportive now as it was six years ago.

Hands down, these are the BEST workout pants that I've ever worn. I went looking today to find where I could get more of them and couldn't find a website for them. I found this story about "Mothers in Motion" and after changing my search terms from Beth to Bess, I found the trademarks - Women in Motion and Mothers in Motion - had been canceled. I guess there is no greater sign that a company is out of business. How very sad.

I am sad that the company is gone, yes, for my own selfishness of wanting more products. I am also sad because I have no idea what happened to this company. I really hope that things ended on a positive note and the company stopped existing so its creator could joyfully move on to greater things for herself.

In the meantime, I am continue on loving my "Women in Motion" pants and will take to stalking eBay for whenever the clothes come up. I can't imagine why anyone would sell their Women in Motion clothes when they were so well-made and hold up to the test of time but oh, now I am hoping that people will (and in my size, too!).
