Despite the buzz surrounding the eye-opening documentary about the controversial multilevel marketing company, LuLaRoe, the conversation hasn’t faded. Even after revealing the greed, deceit, and exploitation tied to the brand, many mothers continue to shell out cash for those soft, vibrant leggings. Some feel guilty about their spending habits, while others embrace their love for LuLaRoe without a second thought. Regardless, the confessional is filled with stories from moms who admit they’re still contributing to LuLaRoe’s bottom line. In the world of pyramid schemes, the cycle continues.

Confessions from Moms

“I’ve got a few LuLaRoe items, and I receive compliments regularly. I confess that not all of it is unattractive (though a lot is), and it’s incredibly comfortable!”
Confession #25792393

“It drives me crazy when my sister-in-law calls herself a ‘small business owner’ or ‘entrepreneur.’ You sell LuLaRoe clothing. And for the love of all things good, STOP buying inventory! 10,000 items in your garage is just DEBT. I want my nephews to afford college!”
Confession #25790611

“My friend is so obsessed with LuLaRoe, I genuinely think she might have an issue. She sent me a picture of her closet filled with 300 LuLaRoe shirts. She has another closet for pants, and she’s always broke!”
Confession #15322468

“I’m not thrilled with how I look in my LuLaRoe leggings, but they’re ridiculously comfy! They’re quite forgiving!”
Confession #11459400

Surprisingly, some moms who aren’t even fans of LuLaRoe are still purchasing items.
“I can’t stand LuLaRoe, but I saw a pair of Winnie the Pooh leggings and ended up in two groups, buying three pairs. I missed out on my ‘unicorn’ leggings. They took my money and my soul.”
Confession #11261199

“I just spent nearly $300 during LuLaRoe’s Going Out of Business sales. I’m strongly against MLMs, but I’m equal parts ashamed and proud to help someone exit their pyramid scheme.”
Confession #11091809

“After seven hours of work, all I’ve done is find the LuLaRoe Disney Randy I’ve been searching for.”
Confession #4988949

Raise your hand if you know someone who’s been consumed by LuLaRoe (not literally dead, but drawn into the scheme so deeply that you can’t see them the same way anymore).
“LuLaRoe tights are hideous! I can’t say that in person because my friend is a distributor. I got so tired of her live sales and videos that I unfollowed her on Facebook. She has no idea.”
Confession #7726922

“I fully support my friends who love LuLaRoe, but I personally think it resembles hotel carpet.”
Confession #5021799

“I discovered LuLaRoe and ordered $500 worth in just three days. I should feel like a fool, but I don’t. I was frugal in my younger years, so now it’s time for me. Forget everyone else. Buy your own stuff.”
Confession #4003172

Some of these moms are seriously splurging for this Stepford-like experience.
“I spent about $2,000 on LuLaRoe this year, and I have zero regrets! I should have joined, haha. Some people buy vacations; I’m just broke with a fabulous closet!”
Confession #3746818

“Omg! In the last two weeks, I spent over a THOUSAND dollars on LuLaRoe! I found it a month ago, and I’m hooked! I’ve never done anything like this before! I think I need to give up shopping for Lent. I can’t stop!”
Confession #2813385

“I have to trick myself into having intimacy. I even reward myself with three new pairs of LuLaRoe leggings if I cooperate this week. What has happened to me? I used to love it; now I’m just obsessed with leggings.”
Confession #2348255

If you or someone you know is dropping serious cash on printed leggings and affordable tunics, please know that help is available. (And if formal support isn’t your thing, check out Amazon for buttery-soft leggings in more subdued patterns for under $15. While giving money to Jeff Bezos might not feel more ethical than supporting a problematic company, it’s definitely an option.)

Recently, I thought LuLaRoe was ridiculous. I bought a pair from a friend to support her business venture, and now I own nine pairs, planning to never wear pants again.
Confession #1783796

“LuLaRoe is going to bankrupt me.”
Confession #1768691

“My husband would freak out if he knew how much I’ve spent on LuLaRoe in the past six months.”
Confession #1772169

And now, for the most memorable confession about LuLaRoe in our collection:
“Every time I see the outfits in LuLaRoe’s promotional photos, I gag a little. Those outfits are hideous. Who wears that? I don’t know anyone who does. The last thing a woman needs to look is ‘whimsical.’ It’s BAD!”
Confession #22633716

Absolutely relatable!
