Discover the magic of solidea: my favorite leggings and tops for daily wear
I often get questions about the leggings and functional tops I wear daily, especially those from Solidea. After many requests, I finally took the time to explain my go-to products: the BE YOU TONIC series and the Silver Wave collection. These items are a true staple in my personal wardrobe and play an important role in supporting my health, well-being, and the principles behind my TAKE YOU TIME™ method.
If you prefer, you can watch the video where I explain everything in detail. The video is displayed in this blog post if you prefer to watch me explain it.
Why I am crazy about Solidea?
Solidea offers a unique combination of comfort, beauty, and functionality. Their products are not just fashionable, but also designed with health in mind. Most pieces I wear are equipped with the Silver Wave technology: a smart wave-patterned fabric that actively stimulates the lymphatic system, encourages lymphatic drainage, and promotes the elimination of waste and excess fluids from the body.
This is particularly valuable for women, like myself, who may experience hormonal fluctuations, perimenopause symptoms, or simple day-to-day fluid retention. Wearing these garments is more than just a style choice; it is a way to support holistic health daily.
The BE YOU TONIC leggings: A daily essential
Let’s start with the leggings I wear almost every day: the BE YOU TONIC series. Currently, I own them in blue, black, skin tone, and a beautiful deep berry pink. These leggings are fully opaque, making them perfect for wearing confidently anywhere, at home, when shopping, during a brisk walk, or even when running errands.
What makes the BE YOU TONIC leggings special is the embedded Silver Wave pattern. This innovative technology gently massages your skin with every movement, boosting lymphatic drainage. After a full day of wearing them, you can often see the characteristic ridges on your legs, tangible proof that the leggings have been stimulating your lymphatic system. These marks are completely harmless and usually disappear within an hour. Just make sure you remember this when you plan to wear a short dress in the evening!
The effect is not merely aesthetic — although you may notice slimmer legs and a more toned appearance, but profoundly beneficial for your health. Stimulating your lymphatic system supports detoxification, helping your body eliminate waste and improving overall vitality.
When combined with the MOVE pillar of my TAKE YOU TIME™ method, aiming for 15,000 steps a day, the impact is even greater. Wearing the leggings while actively moving during the day boosts results, enhances drainage, and gives a visible reduction in leg circumference after consistent use.
You might also notice an increased need to visit the restroom, haha, another sign that your body is releasing excess fluids and detoxifying naturally. That is one of the most immediate and positive indicators of the leggings’ effect.
The Silver Wave tops: functional elegance
Besides the leggings, Solidea offers a beautiful range of functional tops. I frequently wear the tops from the Silver Wave Skin series:
– The tank top
– The T-Shirt
– The bra
These pieces incorporate the same Silver Wave fabric technology and are designed to stimulate lymphatic drainage around the arms and torso. They fit snugly, offering not just health benefits but also visible shaping and lifting effects and cellulite reduction. Under a casual sweater or as part of my 12-minute morning workouts, they provide excellent support and help maintain a toned silhouette. We can all use a confidence boost and this helps!
For those recovering from surgeries such as mastectomies, Solidea also offers specialized post-operative garments, including sleeves designed to support recovery and encourage lymphatic flow.
What I personally love about these tops is how they shape the body beautifully without feeling restrictive. They offer subtle support under the chest, enhance posture, and provide an immediate feeling of strength and stability. Despite my smaller boobs, I still notice and appreciate the lift and contouring these tops provide.
Differences between BE YOU TONIC and Silver Wave pants
It’s important to note the difference between the leggings I wear publicly and those I prefer for home workouts or under clothing.
– BE YOU TONIC Leggings: Fully opaque, with reinforced sections at the ankles for an enhanced lymphatic effect from the feet upward and cellulite reduction. Ideal for daily wear, walking, shopping, and casual outings. You can confidently wear these leggings without covering them up.
– Silver Wave Pants (Long, Corsaro and Shorts): These are slightly sheer in the buttock area. I typically wear them at home during my workouts or underneath clothing. During the summer, they are perfect under dresses, giving both lymphatic drainage and a beautifully shaped silhouette without anyone noticing.
The Corsaro pants, for example, are great for home exercises and are available in various lengths, from mid-thigh to just below the knee. The shorts are especially handy to wear under dresses if you want that extra shaping and support discreetly.
Regardless of whether you choose BE YOU TONIC or Silver Wave, the effect remains the same: a more toned appearance, reduced cellulite, improved lymphatic drainage, and a general boost in well-being.
How to choose the right Size
Selecting the right size is crucial to enjoying the full benefits of Solidea products. On each product page at solidea.com, you will find a detailed size chart.
Here is my golden rule:
If you are between two sizes, always choose the smaller one.
The leggings and tops are designed to fit very tightly, almost like a second skin. That snug fit is essential for the Silver Wave system to work effectively. A loose fit will reduce the garments’ ability to stimulate lymphatic flow and provide shaping benefits.
Because the fabric is densely woven, putting them on can feel like a mini-workout in itself — but that is exactly what you want. Over time, it becomes easier, and you will notice the immediate improvements in both how you feel and how you look.
Caring for Your Solidea Pieces
Despite their sophisticated design, Solidea garments are surprisingly easy to care for. They rarely absorb odors thanks to the antibacterial properties of the Silver Wave fabric. I usually either hand wash them quickly or put them on a gentle cycle in the washing machine.
This durability makes them a long-term investment in your health, beauty, and comfort. Some pieces in my wardrobe have lasted for years with regular use.

Final Thoughts: Integrating Solidea into Your TAKE YOU TIME™ Routine
Integrating Solidea garments into your daily routine is a natural extension of my TAKE YOU TIME™ philosophy. By wearing pieces that actively support your body’s lymphatic system, you align with the pillars of self-care, movement, health, and mindful living.
Whether you are embracing your daily walks, doing your morning 12-minute workouts, or simply going about your day, these leggings and tops silently work with you, enhancing both your outer appearance and your internal health.
Small consistent habits — like wearing health-supportive clothing — can lead to profound transformations over time. And that is the true spirit of TAKE YOU TIME™: making intentional choices that honor your body, mind, and soul.
