These are very comfortable, not sheer - which is a good thing! They do not slide down at all. They are very stretchy for the size I ordered a 5XL. I had my lymphedema physician measure my body and based on the measurements she took tell me what size to order, however the 5XL was way too big I had no tightness for compression to reduce my chronic lymphedema leg swelling/ fluid buildup. As you can see in the picture I took they are too big for me. I just ordered a 3XL hoping that will fit better! Very nice quality and nice comfortable breathable fabric! I can’t wear compression stockings at all due to a bad allergic reaction to all materials of them! These do not cause any allergic reactions which is such a relief! Good pricing & fast shipping!I loved these so much , I got 3 more pairs ! I have new neuropathy that’s painful & throws my balance. These over my heavy compression socks feel amazing! Support like having a solid brace feeling. Help my balance and hold in my ‘ fluff’ I’m super out of shape from chronic infections and trying to get back some muscle . They offer me enough support to keep going a little longer than usual .Bonus ! I’ll warn you , I’m a medium, tried a small just for fun& they feel great , but where they crease on my fluff - looks bad( on someone more muscular wouldn’t be an issue) the small felt so good , wish I could wear a pair on top of a pair& may do that in cold days . Great for winter , idk what I’ll do when our hot summers hit ! They’re not see through, but light weight enough to support & be comfortable. Help me hold in all the jiggles ??I first had the wrong product delivered. I called Amazon customer service and because I got a few of the wrong things they told me not to order from this company anymore. However they got such high reviews and I liked the one pair that was right that they sent me so much. I didn’t feel it was fair to the company. Thus , I am writing this review. They make a quality product!They delivered fast , & immediately corrected the mistake. Even sent me a free pair . Good ethics , so I appreciated that . 5 stars in my book. Tip to putting them on ! Gather them up like you would a long sock , pull them over your leg just to the ankle and let the entire bunch fall put your hands underneath and pull them up to your knees and then gently spread them over your thighs pulling them a few inches at a time as you go that’s the quickest way for me. I heard a girl that was sweating and going crazy trying to pull them on. There is a trick. To all compression items. If you watch the sock well video it shows a quick way to get on compression items. Stockwell is also a wonderful product!I am 55 years old 5 foot four and fluctuate between 130 and 140 pounds. The small fit me great but it tended to show my kibbles and bits if you know what I mean… So maybe wear a pad in front. The medium just looks better my husband said and does not cause the crease in my fluffy fat non muscle legs . I used to be super fit, so emotionally, they make me feel half in & look more shapely . I’m switching out all my pants to these . The first three photos are the size small, I feel like they make me look smaller I show my lady goodies a little too much for my comfort level. That’s why I would double them. The second size is the medium. They both fit very comfortably. I’m not sure which size I like better. You could wear a pad in the front. But I’m very happy with his product. I wanted to company to know that since I gave them a hard time for sending me the wrong die high compression socks instead of the leggings the first go round. And it was a hassle to get them returned. But they were so quick about getting me the right product. I appreciate thatGreat fit, really nice pants!! (I ordered a small I am 50 years old 5'4" and 135lbs). I have moderate lymphedema and REALLY don't like wearing compression hose to the gym! These pants are super comfortable and seem to offer a nice level of compression, not as tight as my medical grade hose, but hopefully enough compression for trips to the gym and running errands when I don't want to hassle with my super tight compression hose!! So far so good! I will update if they fall apart of don't last long!!I ordered a size up per the comments and reviews, so I got a size L when I always buy a M. They fit great and felt comfortable and they were flattering and I was immediately in love. But I noticed about 5 hours after wearing them there was already a ripped seam ? I’m returning to try a different brand.Edit: after writing this review, I received the best customer service. Hopefully the replacement pair I receive will remain intact and I just had a faulty pair.. I will update when I get some wear into my new ones! Updating star review to 4 stars just for customer service and will change to 5 when I do a few work outs in the new ones!So I have complex neurological issues and part of it is sensory issues and I struggle with clothing and these are the only pants I have found I can wear I size down but the fabric is soft and they are tight and they don't hurt or itch for once! These are wonderful ❤️ I love this brand and their leggings and the pockets are such a bonus! They fit my phone and are great for holding treats for my service dog! I currently wear a size S or XSI was looking for leggings that had a decent amount of compression to help with my POTS (my heart rate goes too high while I’m standing) since compression socks look silly to me. I saw another reviewer say she sized down to get enough compression to help, so I did, too. I’m 5’4” 160lbs (mommy tummy/hips). I sized down and went with a medium super high waist legging. They are a bit snug when pulling them up, but fit perfectly once on and look flattering. My underwear is NOT visible when bending over (I purchased black). I’m not getting dizzy or palpitations as frequently when wearing these, and as a result I have a lot more energy. I will be purchasing more!I love how high waisted they are. Definitely compression leggingsBut I must say they run small. I'm a solid large at this point in my life. I'm 3 months pp and have been buying large for everything and it fits perfectly. These are TIGHT on me. Like can barely get them on. I have a pair of medium leggings from pre pregnancy that fit me better than these. They are much stretchier but still. I just got Old Navy leggings in a large petite and they fit perfectly. They're stretchy yet still have good compression for mom tummies!! And they cost less?Personally, I love tight fitting gym-leggings, for two reasons:1) It makes the wobbly bits at the top of my thighs look smooth and lean (result).2) They're super flexible and don't catch on equipment during weights sessions, unlike loose leggings/trousers.I usually buy pricey Nike leggings which are similar in style, but £40+ each, so to find an almost-equivalent for less than half the price is seriously exciting for a bargain hunter as I am! I've worn these at least once a week, washed every time and they look as new after 3 months of intensive 2 hour sessions, which is seriously impressive.My only gripe is the sizing chart supplied which really isn't accurate enough, which means I had to purchase the L and XL sizes just in case. Then I find out they don't offer free returns, which was a painful argument to resolve. If they offered free no hassle returns this would easily be 5 stars.Nice leggings but definitely can't compare them with the brand Skins!Good quality and I get lots of compliments on colour.Reading the other reviews I ordered size xl being a size 14 and definitely only needed large. If you understand compression wear you would understand the sizing.I'm normally a 10-12 was a bit worried they cud b 2 small so ordered large..wen they came I thought no way will these fit looked tiny.but I squeezed into them easily ...not used 2 wearing tight bottoms but they r perfect. ...delivery was v.quick arrived before expected date...Fast delivery, value for money, long lasting. Highly recommend due to great service!I am very happy with this product. I am a size 10 for trousers and I bought the small although I think I should have bought one size bigger. In any case I am happy with the quality of the product and I recommend them for ladies who do weight training and skip the rope a lot as I do as they offer good compression.
