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.

These are fabulous! The fabric is soft and the perfect thickness. I will definitely be ordering more!

I think I read every review before I bought these so I'll share my experience. About me: I'm 30, 5'6", 130lbs athletic build. I have a 28" waist (at the smallest) and 36" hips (3 kids!). I'm a lifter, not so much cardio. I've lost 275lbs so I have excess skin on my legs and belly that I need compression pants to hide. I wanted pants that were thick enough to hide the dents rolls and wrinkles from saggy skin and kept my legs tight so I can lift. The fit: I ordered a small based on my measurements. They're absolutely perfect. They are interesting to put on, the fabric is very tight but still stretchy. I knew once I put them on the first time that they would hold everything together well. Once they are on, man they're great! The waist band sits right at the top of my hips, in the middle of my waist. The band is kind of thin so it can dig. Sometimes I'll roll the top down to sit on my hips instead of on my waist but it gives me muffin top from the saggy skin. Baggy shirts necessary then. Also, as with the band, the seams are very tight. So the inner seam in the crotch can get uncomfortable if they're pulled up too high. Ladies know what I mean. But this shouldn't deter you from the comfort of the legs. The length is good, they are a little longer, so someone up to maybe 5'9 would be fine. At 5'6" I have a little bunching at the ankle but it's not an issue whatsoever. The fabric: amazing. Truly! They're so soft and silky and incredibly movable. Again the only issue is the digging of the thin waistband. The thickness is more than I could have asked for, as you cant see any wrinkles or bumps in my legs. Also they're breathable, as I don't sweat very much. I'm shocked. Overall, these are my favorite pants. They're plain black, not shiny at all, I'd say more matte black than anything. So I can wear them to the gym or out to the bar with a cute top. I gave 4 stars because of the seams/band. I know the seams need to be tight to hold the fabric for compression, but the waistband would be better if it were thicker and not a thin strap. Otherwise these pants are 100!

I’m very picky about compression leggings, but these honestly exceeded my expectations. They give that snug, supportive feel without being uncomfortable or hard to move in. The high waist provides great tummy control and really smooths everything out, which makes me feel more confident whether I’m working out or just running errands. The fabric is soft, breathable, and truly sweat-wicking. I’ve worn them for workouts, travel days, and even lounging, and they stay comfortable the whole time with no chafing. I also love that they’re completely non-see-through. I can squat and bend without worrying at all. They hold their shape well after washing and still feel just as supportive. If you prefer a less tight fit, I do recommend sizing up, but the compression is perfect if you like that sculpted, held-in feeling. These leggings are supportive, flattering, and versatile. Definitely a staple for active days or whenever I want to feel put together and comfortable.

Updated 2/13/26: The black ones ordered all had thin elastic at the high waist band that was just miserable to the point that I literally cut them out. Kind of took away the reason for having the high waist as they dont stay put now. but I can wear them. The three more I ordered all had the same issue. It was having the 5 total that I decided to cut the elastic out. However, I decided to order another style/color and the grey ones, the camo ones are completely awesome and fit correctly. I must note they were not marked down in price like the black ones. I went back to order another pair recently to work out the ones I have cut and fell for the price reduction again - ordering a pair in grey (thought I was safe on this one) but the style with pockets. No biggie pockets or not and to save some money would be great. They are not great. The manner in which they added the pockets made them add satin stitching from the inner thigh just above the knee over the leg and up the side of the hip where the pockets sit. They stink for comfort as the stitching has no give and cuts into my legs. So even though I would certainly order more as I love the good ones I have, that makes 6 yukkers out of 8 purchased. Not terribly impressed at this point. Original Post: I have Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, POTS for short. I stopped wearing support hose 40 years ago and could not wear surgical compression hose because both cut me off on my stomach area, which is part of the problem with this syndrome. I stuck to compression socks, which work, but for the needed forced circulation a complete coverage was needed. My daughter has the same issue and her doctor mentioned compression pants/leggings which I did not know existed. After much back and forth looking over my options, I went with my first choice here. In pant size - normally choose a 4X(26-28) because of the waist issue. So I did it here as well and could not be happier. I am 70 years old, and might not wear these out around town, but if I were younger I would they have great coverage. The material reminds me of shorts that cyclists wear to ride their bikes. Thick but not overwhelming at all. Very smooth and no sagging or bagging after all day wear. Tight but easy to get into, I am amazed and pleasantly surprised that the waist fits quite well and is not binding at all. I have had them on all day and have very happy legs indeed. What's best is that I do not have the binding of the sock cutting into my under knee anymore. I have done my housework, laundry and sat at my sewing machine for three hours without issue or swelling. This is a first for me to post pics of myself but I want the everyday woman to see that she too can wear them if desired! Ordered three more pair today.

I’m a bit underweight (5’6”, 104 #) and I’ve been searching for months for yoga pants that aren’t too loose. Most brands are still not snug enough even if they come in an xxs (which most brands dont). But these fit pretty tight in the xs, which I'm glad for. They came with a card that says "Lucky You! You received our NEW POCKET STYLE". It says to let them know if we dont' like them but then does not provide an email or contact number. (I did find it on their website) I really hate the pockets. They’re just sewn on, not incorporated into seams and they’re that shape that is curved on one side and straight on the other. The seams of the pockets come to a weird corner with threads sticking out. (and it puckers the fabric slightly) Also, the seams across the hips are a little tight and dig in to my hip bones in front. When I take them off, you can actually see impressions in my skin where all the seams were, including the pockets. So I'm glad they're not baggy and do actually have some compression, but I don't like the pockets or the seams. 3 stars. If more brands came in sizes small enough for me, this one would have gotten 2 stars but I gave them an extra star for actually coming in my size. I also wish they came in a lighter silvery gray without pockets.

Better compression, fits a bit tighter but comfortable to wear. The material is strong, less stretch then the non-ribbed but just enough. Since I am post opp from lipedema liposuction, these are perfect! Plus there is a small pocket in top left side.

I tried two other pair of compression leggings and was definitely disappointed in their claims of compression. AT LAST! These leggings deliver compression as promised. I'm in my late 60's and am a baker by profession. Even with the rubber mats at work, standing on concrete floors and standing in place for so long, has taken a toll on my legs. These offer compression that is supportive, not restrictive. It is not a battle to get them on. They actually feel good on my legs. I'm just 5'7" and about 170, I got the XL and they fit great.

not really high compression. waist band is not as wide and comfortable as Lulu Lemon, not as high waisted either. sizing is correct

Ik had altijd van xxl nutricion deze legging, maar tegenwoordig doen ze alleen maar zonder seam aan de voorkant en dat zit echt niet lekker (mijn mening) door de spandex is het als een korset om je benen en billen en eindelijk deze gevonden na een lange zoektocht. En ben zo blij .. zit heerlijk en schijnt niet door.

If you're looking more for comfort than compression, be true to yourself and order size based on your actual waist size, don't just look at pant size on size chart. But if you're needing more compression, then you can try ordering based on your pant size. The legs are long which is great as I'm tall-ish but they may be too long if anyone is under 5'8 and needs one of the larger sizes.

Smooth soft material just wish it didn’t roll a bit sh top

I really like these leggings. They withstood running in the treadmill, rowing and weight lifting. They roll slightly but no big deal. I would prefer a slight roll than constantly having to pull them up mid workout which is the issue I was having with other leggings. These are nice, stay put, squat proof and don’t budge during movement.
