"Comfy" compression socks live up to their name
I have POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and I've been wearing compression hose on a near daily basis for just over a year. I take a beta blocker to lower my heart rate, but the tradeoff is that I become pre-syncopal (lightheadedness, blurred vision, edges of vision go black, stumbling and, at times, nearly passing out) frequently with standing. Compression stockings help lessen some of those symptoms to a slightly more tolerable level.Being 25 with chronic health issues has meant that I've had to choose function over fashion much more often and much earlier than many of my peers. Many compression hose just have a more geriatric look to them, so it can add insult to injury a bit. I already have to struggle with putting them on everyday - couldn't they at least try to be cute?! These are a nice compromise. They really can pass for regular tights - I've had people tell me they had no idea they weren't just a fashion statement (the variety of colors certainly helps with that!). They don't provide quite as much compression as I would ideally need, but they come close. If I'm having a day where I want to be a little more comfortable or a little more fashionable, I can definitely turn to these.These stockings are softer than many other compression stockings I've tried, which sometimes irritate my skin as the day goes on. Most of the time with other brands, my knees or legs will start to feel chaffed in the late afternoon and I can't wait to get the stockings off. These are comfortable all day long and feel somewhat more breathable to me (though, as with any compression stockings, prepare to stay quite warm!). I found them to be true to size around my legs and waist, but they aren't as generous as some other brands for length. My measurements are:height: 5'9" (176 cm)weight: ~135 lbs (61 kg)waist: 28" (71 cm)hips: 38" (97 cm)Being on the border of large and XL on the size chart and wanting more compression rather than less, I opted to order a large. It does take some effort to stretch them up to have everything (crotch, waistband, etc) fit in the right place, but I'm able to get them where I want them eventually. I think if I were much taller, they might not work for me. I like the level of compression the large provides and I believe XL would be too loose. Already, the waistband is looser than the average compression hose. I like that because the alternative is often having a rather visible roll at my waist where the compressions cut me in half, on top of feeling like my bottom half is caught in a Chinese finger trap with someone pulling firmly at the other end. However, more pressure on my abdomen helps with venous return more, so my symptoms can be worse with these. Whether or not these work for you will depend on what your needs are.Pros:*As it says in the name, they are comfy, especially compared to other compression hose*Softer material than competitors*Slightly more breathable (in my opinion)*Come in many colors to match with more outfits (I have them in burgundy, black, & gray and want to get the other 2 colors!)*Can pass as regular tights*Waistband isn't too tight; more comfortable*Waistband doesn't roll down*Amount of compression seems to be as advertised*Durable, hold up to machine washing on gentle cycle and air drying*Do not get runs or snag easilyCons:*Not as long as some other brands*Lower amount of compression means my symptoms are less controlled*Looser on stomach/waist means less venous return from those areas

Great Product!
These are made of very comfortable fabric. I typically have them on for at least 5+ hours each day and they don’t cause any discomfort. My legs feel refreshed when I get home every time. Great product!

Comfortable and not like other kind of compression socks
I love this compression leggings tights! I have bought two other type of compression socks before but this one surprise me with the level of comfort. The feet and upper thigh are not too tight allow me to feel like I am wearing normal leggings. While the rest of the parts provide enough pressures for my legs. Especially on the back of my knees and my calves. After a long day of carrying baby and doing chores, I feel this product helps me to have better blood circulation. My feet are less tired. I would recommend this.

It looks pretty nice, i like the texture
I am 6 and ft a half, so i ordered a size XL. It's opaque, no see through or sheer. It looks pretty nice, i like the texture, there's a bit of shine to it.It's thick and strong, and so of course, just like every compression hose/socks, they are hard to put on. The first time is a mess but it gets easier.They fit me "well", I assume so because my feet fit right into the heel and toe demarcations at the bottom, albeit I wish they were a tiny bit longer(i have long legs inseam '36). A couple of more inches and they would have been perfect! Other than that I wear them for work. I am a flight attendant. Walking all day and experiencing constant compression and decompression is very hard on my body. These compression hose provide me with a massage feel while i'm at work so it's good. And after a shift, my legs don't feel as tired as they use to, so it works!! I do work long days/nights and after wearing them a few days in a row they get a bit heavy on me. After 5 days, I had to put my old panty hose back on for a more lightweight feeling (i was tired). If you have a regular job, it will be more bearable. Voila! Overall 4 stars because it works, they are really good for leg fatigue and the price is decent.

Waist too small for XL
These are easier to put on than my other compression pantyhose. I like the quality and thickness of these. I'm 5'9" 165 lbs. What I don't like is the panty part - the elastic is much too tight and uncomfortable. Why can't any company make a woman's size compression pantyhose in black. At age 66 I don't look like the model. I don't mind paying for a product as long as it does what it is supposed to and is comfortable! Anyone listening out there?

Great tights - weird top area
I like these tights a lot - they are very slimming on my legs and not too constrictive. I am 5'2" 115lbs but have large calves so I was worried the small would be too small but they are not. They are durable and I have accidentally washed them in the washer and put them in the dryer with no ill effect.My only gripe about these tights is that the the compression part ends rather abruptly at the top of the thigh and the looser stretch panty hose part takes over for the bottom and tummy. It makes my thighs look like they are oozing out at the top - very unattractive (and I don't have particularly big thighs)! So you cannot wear these with any clingy skirts because the uneven silouette would show through in a lumpy way. Despite this flaw, I'm still OK with them because I only wear the tights with thicker skirts anyway.

Look great and have succeeded at preventing dizziness at work - use sizing chart
I love these compression stockings! I am 18 weeks pregnant and have had very low blood pressure with dizzy/near fainting spells. I am a pharmacist and stand the entire day so falling to the floor with blurred vision (again) is not okay. I am 5'2'', 135 lb, usually wear S/M but ordered a L per the sizing chart (definitely use the chart). I can tell a huge difference with these at work and they look cute under dresses or skirts that I would normally wear with black tights anyway. Summer will be a more challenging issue since these definitely keep you warm but for now they're great.
