CompressionZ Women's Compression Leggings High Waisted Performance Tummy Control Gym, Pilates, Travel, Yoga, Workout Pants

I absolutely love these. I have had trouble with my legs and feet swelling since my 20s, at every weight (from 123 in my early 20s to 220 lbs mid-pandemic). Now at 61 my legs and feet suddenly got painfully worse and I really need to wear compression garments most of the time. I tried one pair of these leggings, and fell in love. As soon as my latest order arrives I'll have 6 of them!Most important, they are comfortable — so much so that at first I wasn't sure they would do much good.Before these I had a few pairs of really sturdy, thick, super-constricting leggings. They felt great for a while, but were a serious challenge to get on (and I have good mobility and strength!), and were just too much after 6-8 hours. Ultimately I rarely wore them, because they were such a pain. And if you don't wear them, they don't help!These, on the other hand, don't feel that much tighter than my ordinary leggings. But they are more springy, if that makes sense. They stretch enough that they are easy to put on, and are comfortable all day, but they have enough "squeeze" to seriously help with edema. My legs and feet were happier from day one.I wear them every day, all day (but not for sleeping). I wear them just with a t-shirt for working out. I haven't really checked, but I'm not noticing any obvious see-through issues. They definitely are athletic-looking leggings you can wear alone, not thin like nylons/tights.When it's cold I wear them under sweats. At the dojo I wear them under my gi pants. I've worn them under jeans for an all-day train trip to L.A. and back, walking around museums, seeing sites, ... I was happy to ditch the jeans for the ride home, but the leggings were comfortable the whole day and evening.I've worn the black ones (but not with the socks) under skirts, for going out. Is that stylish? Don't know, don't care. I think they look fine, and I'm a whole lot more concerned with health and pain-avoidance than I am with looking cute.Some additional details that might be helpful:Note that these leggings go the the ankles, NOT to your feet/toes. Because edema in my feet is a problem I am also wearing knee-high compression socks under the leggings. That's also what's causing the lines just below my knees in the photos - those lines aren't from the leggings.I have the high-waisted (not super-high-waisted) ones, with pockets, in both black and black camo. Totally happy with both.Also, yay pockets! I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max (the big one), in a case, and it easily fits in the pockets with 1/2" to spare at the top. I keep it there when working out. It's very secure, and doesn't interfere with movement at all.Trust the size chart! Don't rely on your usual size. I typically wear XL, but the chart said 4X, and it was right. At the time I ordered these last month I was 204 lb, with 48" hips and 40" waist. I'm down to 195 lbs, 47" hips, 37.5" waist and these still are perfect.I'm 5' 7" tall, relatively long-legged. These go all the way from my natural waist (about an inch above my bellybutton) to right where my ankles meet my feet. I just measured, while wearing them, and that's 40".These are loose around my ankles. Like, baggy. You can see a little "draping" in the photos where they aren't tight. That's great because it means they aren't constricting around the bottom seam, which would actually hinder return circulation. For reference, my calves are 17" at their widest, and my ankles are 11".I machine wash them on cool, and hang them to dry. Machine drying might be fine, but I'm hoping to help them keep their stretch as long as possible.

I have POTS, and these are my new favorites. I wear them under my slacks at work, under jeans if at an event, and basically any chance I can. They're comfy, soft, and NOT HOT!! They're a little hard to get on if you struggle with exertion, but it's TOTALLY worth it for the compression. I wear them on flights and road trips, and anytime I know I'll be walking a lot.

They are comfortable and like the way they look. The size seemed to run small but I will order another pair. 😄

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is my first compression leggings, and the fit and comfort level is spot on! I'm 5'6", size 14-16. I purchased XL and they fit perfect, and feel wonderful!

My 2nd pair of this brand. Good compression. Although wish all colors had pockets. Would buy again.

I purchased 2X according to their size recommendations. First I will say if you want tights to wear under your clothes these are good (thin and compressed) I would not wear for yoga, gym or running unless covered. I wanted thick, squat proof, compression and stable. They felt in-between nylons and leggings (not super thick), and I had to put them on like nylons (as expected). The compression was ok. You can tell were your panties end and skin begins and I can see thru when bending down. If I bought a larger size maybe it would be less see thru but not compressed enough. I suggest tall people with a little extra bum get the high waist. The lower waist didn't fit, sagged in the back. Know what you want them for.

These are great!!!! I have all leggings and all compression and these are really great - seamless and nice finish on legs and good sizing and decent compression! Would buy more for sure! Great price too! Had to leave an honest review

Contrary to the other reviews, I needed to order my regular size to obtain the compression benefits. I wear an extra large in most leggings and ordered the same here. I'm soon to be 60, 5'3", 165 lbs, apple shape.By ordering this size, my pants are almost, but not quite as tight as my Spanx.
