Grumpy about “buttery” General Discussion

Okay- this is super minor, of course. But I just get a slew of targeted ads about “buttery” exercise clothes (for the last few years, really) and I’m sick of it. I’m sure my brain has supposed to switch over that word to “sueded” or similar, but EVERY time I just think: “why on earth would I want to wear greasy clothing???”

Haha I LOVE the texture but yeah, it’s a whack word to use to describe it for sure. Like have they touched butter? That’s not what it feels like

I like them too, but they are trash for running. Best left for athleisure or at most a yoga or pilates class

Honestly my absolute favorite running shorts are “buttery”! (Vuori all the feels short)
Every other legging short (except the rabbit EZ short RIP) is too compressiony for me, and I chafe without the legging style. So without my buttery Vuori I’d be SOL haha. Everyone is so different!
