I do a lot of walking for my job. Sometimes, my fitness watch tells me I've reached my walking goal by lunchtime. You can imagine the pain I feel in my legs at the end of the day. One way I combat those aches and pains is by wearing compression pantyhose. Wearing a full pair of pantyhose under a pair of pants can be quite hot and uncomfortable. Plus, times have changed. Not many women I know wear a full pair of pantyhose nowadays.
When I saw these Compression Tights, 20-30mm Hg Graduated Support Compression Pantyhose, I thought they were leggings at first. Then, when I realized they were compression tights, I could not hit the order button fast enough. I loved the fact that they looked like tights or leggings but were actually compression tights.
What really drew me to these compression tights was the fact that the foot is out and they do look like leggings. I have a few A-frame style dresses that I purchased but never felt comfortable wearing them because I never had the right pair of tights to wear with them.f
I'm 5'10" and around 145 lbs. I ordered a size large thinking that a medium might be too tight for me. When I tried on the large, I was glad I decided to get large. When I took them out of the package, I held up these little tights and thought there was no way I was going to get my body squished into those. When I tell you these fit me like a glove, I mean, they fit me like a glove! There is not a tag or a stamp on the back of these tights, but it was easy to figure out after I hung them on a hanger. The back where your butt goes has a little extra material which makes it easy to determine which is the front and which is the back. They required a little effort to get on which was expected and I found it easier to do if I treated them like a pair of regular pantyhose, putting my foot through and then pulling the leg up. After getting both legs in, I pulled them up to my waist. They fit me like they were designed just for me. They weren't so tight that I couldn't breathe, but they made me feel secure in that I could sit and stand and walk around and not have to worry about them falling down or feeling like the back was being pulled down. As soon as I got them on, my legs felt great. Extremely comfortable. Easy to pull down for bathroom breaks and they didn't feel stretched out after hours of wearing them. Because they have an open foot, my toes weren't all squished together like a full pair of compression tights or socks make them feel.
I wore these all day long and they were the exact thing I needed to wear my A-frame dresses and sneakers. They were so comfortable, I could have slept in them. I washed them in a cold-water gentle cycle in the washing machine and hung them to dry. They retained their shape. When I wore them for a second time, they felt as good as they did the first time I wore them.
I liked them so much I've already ordered a second pair. I think the price is comparable if not better than some of the compression pantyhose I've had in the past. I can say that I highly recommend these compression tights.
