Everyday ease, elevated—the PureFlex Mid-Rise Leggings bring our signature buttery-soft fabric to a clean, streamlined silhouette that sits comfortably at your natural waist. Blended from 92% GOTS-certified organic cotton and 8% spandex, they offer breathable stretch and gentle, all-day support powered by the fabric itself. Perfect for layering under tunics, flowing through low-impact flows, or simply moving through your day with effortless confidence.
Pre-shrunk and garment-dyed for a true-to-size fit with a smooth, non-sheer finish. The mid-rise waistband delivers reliable hold through the fabric's inherent compression—stays put without digging in or rolling down.
Size and Fit
PureFlex leggings are garment dyed and pre-shrunk, so the fit is true to size, wash after wash. Choose the size you normally wear. Sizing down stretches the knit thinner and reduces opacity in deep squats, so we do not recommend it. The 92% GOTS-certified organic cotton fabric is thicker and more matte than synthetic leggings. Full measurements are in our Sizing Chart.
About the Garment
Crafted in our small Los Angeles factory, the PureFlex Mid-Rise Leggings are Made in the USA, with every step, knitting, cutting, sewing, dyeing, and packaging, done locally to minimize environmental impact. This mid-rise style features a minimalist waistband that relies on the fabric's natural compression for secure, smooth support, with no bulky elastic or restrictive bands to interrupt the flow. Sewn with 100% cotton thread for a fully polyester-free construction, they're gentler on your skin and the planet. Independently tested for PFAS by Applied Technical Services, an independent testing laboratory: no PFAS detected, with total fluorine below 2 parts per million (October 2024).
We had our bestselling leggings independently tested for PFAS by Applied Technical Services. Total fluorine, the limiting marker for the entire PFAS class, came back none detected at below 2 parts per million.
The report covers the main fabric of our organic cotton leggings, tested in October 2024, against a current industry threshold of 100 ppm. We publish the result rather than a blanket claim.
Why go the extra mile? PFAS are synthetic chemicals used to make fabrics stain and water-resistant, but they’re also known as “forever chemicals” because they persist in the environment and accumulate in our bodies. With PFAS linked to health risks, we made it our goal to guarantee skin-friendly comfort that eases your body and mind.
We use no DWR coatings and no fluorinated finishes anywhere in our line.

Ashley J.5/5Verified
These are THE most comfortable legging!! They don’t squeeze my stomach at all, but give my legs the compression I like! Thanks Purakai!!
Kadie S.5/5Verified
I like where they hit the abdomen, that they have some stretch without baggy and they are mostly cotton
Laurie M.5/5Verified
My favorite organic cotton leggings superior than the other brands I’ve bought from I can’t wait to purchase the black when they are back in stock. Absolutely love.
Heather A.5/5Verified
I am 5’3…150 lbs, size medium fits perfectly
Ashley C.5/5Verified
Great fabric ! Not too thin and not too thick!
Deborah Z.5/5Verified
Love any company that offers a short version, so we don’t have to pay more money for tailoring!
These are probably the most comfortable yoga pants I’ve ever worn. Super breathable and feels like a second skin.
They pull down a bit during yoga. Seems to run a bit small, I’m a pretty solid medium at 5’3” 135 lbs and could use a tiny bit more length and stretch.

Finding Organic Cotton Leggings is getting harder to do, at least here in the US.
Thank you SO much Purakai for making these Mid-Rise Leggings!
I've lived almost year around in organic cotton leggings for decades and panicked when the company I bought from for 15 years abruptly stopped selling them.
Finding Purakai has been a Godsend.
My regular size small fits well and these leggings are much cozier than my old ones.
I love all three pair - the charcoal, the teal and the black.
Jill B.5/5Verified
Hoorah for mid rise leggings !! Thank you for making non toxic, eco friendly leggings that also are ultra comfortable !!

Thank you. Couldn’t be happier !!
I’m a definite return customer !
Sanna B.5/5Verified
I love them. Substantial and soft. Charcoal color is lovely. The mid-rise slip down on my body, so next pair will be the higher rise, which I have in another colir.
Kathy E.5/5Verified
This is my favorite cotton workout product. This is my second pair. I wore and washed my first pair constantly over the CB past year.
Samantha B.5/5Verified
These tights fit really well and feel so good on! They are roomy in the crotch and the bottom feels, well as cotton should, all cozy!
Linda W.5/5Verified
It took a while to deliver but was definitely worth the way. I will try the high-rise next time and maybe see if there are any tops I like. I definitely recommend these products

Stephene H.5/5Verified
I was nervous buying them online, without trying them on. These are the most comfortable pair of leggings I own. I usually wear a size 8 in pants. I ordered a Large and fits like a glove! Love them Love them
Jeanette F.5/5Verified
There was no order status available online available online after order was placed. Sent order inquiry a week later and received leggings 10 days after ordering. Regrettably too big. Requested Return Receipt 10 days ago to exchange for a smaller size. Sent second request a week later. No reply to date. Lovely quality, but virtually zero Customer Service. Very disappointed. Waiting for exchange, but ready to return for refund and forget it.

Fabulous yoga pants
These are the perfect yoga pants. Their matte finish and legging style mean they can easily transition from the yoga studio to the outside world with the addition of a tunic if the need arises. They are flattering and well cut so they don't create any unsightly bulges. When I received them, I thought they looked a little small, but I was pleased to find they are true to size and maintain well despite repeated washes. All that and eco-friendly?!?!? AMAZING! Thank you Pura Kai!

Great eco-friendly yoga pant
These are comfy and fit true to size, though if you are between sizes, size up. Love that they are organic cotton. They can also be worn as leggings under a tunic for a quick yoga-to-work/on-the-go change.
N/a5/5
The best fitting yoga pants!
Fabric is fabulous but the sizing is a whole size off. If you wear a small, get the medium, etc. I also love that the clothing is US made.
N/a5/5
so far I find the yoga pant to be comfortable, stretchy, and most importantly non-transparent.
I have not yet laundered them so cannot report on how well they hold up.
Sonia5/5
I just received my Purakai shirt. I was glad to support a company with such high standards and goals! My shirt is so soft, the color so vibrant. I look forward to more Purakai clothing!
Sonia5/5
I am obsessed with these yoga pants. They are extremely comfortable and love working out in them. After ordering my first pair and couldn't stop wearing them, I just ordered two more pair and a pair for my mom to try out. Great customer service too!
Alane5/5
These yoga pants are the best. Very soft, not see-through, warm and breathable
Bianca R.5/5
these are the softest leggings i have ever worn. they have held up to many many washes and have not faded or lost their shape. they also have not pilled, the fabric is as nice looking as it was the day they came in the mail. I highly recommend these pants.
Connie5/5
extremely comfortable...
would love it if they had more colors to choose
I'd buy more :)
N/a5/5
I love the fit of these pants, very flattering yoga pants!
Annie5/5
Really soft material, fits nicely, it’s nice to find leggings that aren’t high rise and compressive, very comfy. However fabric is quite thin, I’ve never owned a pair of these so I’m not sure how they will wear. I am concerned about durability because of the lightweight nature of the fabric. For the price I was expecting something a little more in the weight of the fabric.
Jen K.4/5Verified
Just worry about elastane
Tanya D.4/5Verified
They feel really nice and are very comfortable. They make my legs look more defined. But they do roll down on me a bit but not too bad I deal with it.
Jennifer R.4/5Verified
I am really very pleased with my purchase. I went by the size guide and received a perfect fit. I am 5'5" and weigh 117. I ordered a medium. I have worn them to crossfit type classes and they worked great! I ordered the charcoal but feel they are more of a mushroom color.
Lisa C.4/5Verified
I decided to try out these lower waisted pants and they are great in every aspect, although it's possible I should have size down. They are super comfortable and fit great but as I walk around they kind of slide down. I have this problem with a lot of pants in general. Based on comfort and looks, I don't regret the purchase.
Kristina4/5
I love how well these fit and how comfortable they are. I used the size chart and measured myself and it was accurate. I'm knocking off one star because they are just a tiny bit see through.
