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

5’2” 127lbs size sm/med. these are exactly what I hoped they would be. They were a challenge to get on, but I’ve put on plenty of pairs of Quality compression socks and compression tights for running, so it wasn’t anything ultra challenging,but the tights do come with a good set of instructions for those who aren’t used to putting on compression tights. They are very durable and not see-through at all, but because of the nature of the netting, if you pull them and stretch them with your hands, there is mesh between. They feel like a nice tight compression that somehow is still comfortable. They also feel breathable. I tend to overheat easily, but I plan on wearing these under my work scrub pants because I’ve been able to comfortably wear them underneath comfy pants at home, but if I had a long enough shirt, I could wear them on their own. I also really like that they come up high and support my abdomen and torso. It makes them much more comfy.

Awkwardly long in the torso. These are higher than "high waist" pants.

I have dysautonomia, orthostatic intolerance, POTS, tachycardia, etc., from long covid and hypermobile Ehlers Danlos (a connective tissue disorder). My doctor recommended daily footless, waist-high compression to (1) help with fluid pooling, (2) help with heart rate issues, and (3) help with proprioception (clumsiness). I've tried more expensive medical brands (Juzo, Sigvaris, etc) and cheaper Amazon brands (Lin, Terramed, etc). These are the sweet spot for comfort/compression/value. I'm 5'7", oscillate between 135 and 150 pounds (size 6 to 8), usually around a 30" waist and 39-41" hips, 32" inseam. The size chart puts me at the M/L, but I found the S/M to be perfect for both compression and length. I've been wearing two pairs in rotation for the past year and a half, probably 4 days a week, and one of them now has a couple of holes, but they're easily sewn. I really like the waist band on these (not too tight, stretchy, but still some compression), and I really like the lower leg compression on these (that's where I most need it!). I also like that they are a little thicker and look like real leggings rather than the Juzo, which made me feel self conscious when wearing them on their own with the butt not covered. At a family reunion, I saw a cousin who is a nurse at a vein clinic, and she said, "I noticed you're wearing the Bioflect waffle leggings! We recommend those to all our patients." So they're apparently also LNP approved!

I now own 6 pairs of these! They fit amazing for pregnancy, I wasted a lot of money on compression pants before I found these, most of them were far too tight even though they were the right size and maternity and impossible to get on once I was farther into the pregnancy. With my first pregnancy I worked 32-50 hours a week and these helped so much with swelling and pain. Any time I would skip a day wearing them I’d regret it. That being said, they wear out extremely fast, and in the worst place possible. Keep an eye out because out of no where you will have a hole in the pants right on your butt crack. I wear mostly M/L and XL, but tried a S/M and a M/L of the capri as well to save a few bucks. The M/L capri was as tight as the S/M full length! Wth! The S/M are also disproportionally SHORTER than the ML. Inches shorter! Overall pleased but for the price I would expect more consistency with sizing and there seems to be a full blown defect in the seaming in the crotch because they all wear down in the same spot within a couple of months. I still use them just have to wear shorts or a dress over them

These compression leggings came recommended from my doctor. They are fabulous compression leggings. They do leave a pattern on your skin, but they really do their job well. Love the high waist.
