Read on for a few items that, former Lululemon employees say are actually worth your coin.

Former Lululemon employees, of course.

We tracked down a few to hear about the most worth-it itemsand the ones you might probably skip.

(The most common complaint is that they just dont have enough support for larger chests.)

One thing most everyone agreed on?

The Energy Bra is the one to get.

Its hands-down my favorite bra, for any activity, she says.

Whether the regular style, the longline style, the high neck styleI love all of them.

There are also drawstrings at the ankle so you could wear them either as joggers or flare-style pants.

(The long-sleeved version is especially popular.)

I know one of the big selling points is that theyre anti-microbial, says Giladi.

Ill toss it under a sweater when its cold outside, she says.

I still have the first one that I bought, she says.

Its still in amazing condition and I am not kind to it.

I run in it, I wear it in the city, I wear it to work.

It should be disgusting and its not.

Samantha Diaz, who worked at several stores in Michigan, also vouches for its durability.

Its low maintenanceit washes and dries really well, she says.

Customers started saying, Hey, what is that bag?

says David Michael Gay, who worked as an educator in New York City.

Because of that demand, they released it, and it would always sell out.

Theyd come in and then suddenly theyd all be gone.

(Both Giladi and Gay say its still their go-to everyday bag.)

Gay says they are the rare exception in terms of the brands quality.

After three washes the gel starts melting, he says.

For how much they cost, they do not live up to their expectations.

Dolan says shes also had issues with the no-show socks sliding down her shoes.

(Psst!We have plenty of other recommendations for greatno-show socks.)

alt

Dolan agrees and says the coverage they provide never quite works for her.

Theyre really cute and great colors, says Giladi.

So the price is a little excessive, especially when its not a performance item.
