Bioflect® Compression Leggings with Bio Ceramic Micro-Massage Knit- for Support and Comfort - Black M/L, Black, Medium/Large

The fit is perfect to size chart. Comfortable for daily wear. I'm Petite and the length goes over heal yo help ankle swelling.

I wear these because I have POTS and need to have high-waisted, firm compression so all my blood doesn't pool in my feet. Fun. I would not describe these as comfortable, but here's the thing: They feel like tights, and I HATE tights and have hated them since the day I was born, so I'm biased, and I admit it. But these go a bit beyond my mere loathing of tights. The "massaging knit" is a bit odd. I'm not sure exactly what it's supposed to achieve, and maybe it works better for someone who has lymphedema or something similar. For me, it just presses the pattern into my legs. This means whenever I take them off at night my calves look like they got beaten with a wrinkle stick. They're itchy. Not horribly so, but still itchy. I also wear them under my jeans, and the fabric collects pills off of my jeans like nobody's business. I despise fabric pills, so I have to use a fabric shaver on these leggings every time I wear them, which means daily. Within my first day of wearing my first pair, they were COVERED in pills, top to bottom. Eeewww. So why do I wear them every day even if I don't like them very much? Because I have to. They ARE effective for my POTS, and I can't fault them for that. But I think my next pair of compressive leggings will be made with a smoother fabric and not an itchy, pill-gathering, tights-like "massaging knit".

After wearing these for a few weeks I changed my rating to 4 stars - I actually really like them. They are still difficult to get on but I have gotten used to it and it seems a bit easier with practice. I’m not sure on these leggings - they definitely are compression, and they leave the little marks on my legs so I think they might work long term. I have not had them long enough to say for sure any difference. My issue with them is they are so tight to get on - like it’s painful putting them on and trying to pull them up. I’m nervous my nails will rip them and they hurt my fingers from the fabric pulling and rubbing (almost like a rug burn). Once I get them on it’s fine - they are tight but not crazy uncomfortable - but the process of getting them on is so annoying I find myself not really wanting to wear them. Also since it’s such a struggle to pull them on I worry I will definitely rip them at some point. For the price - I am on the fence if they were worth it.

I am 5'2" a hundred and sixty pounds and I purchased a medium, and these fit perfectly, and. I have lipidema, and this really helps with that fluid. Retention so I would definitely get a pair if I were you.And this is what you needed them for.

Once you have the right size, they work really well. I bought them too large based off of the information in sizing it says to size up if you’re in between sizes, but I definitely needed to size down.
