I am a medium in most things. I am just under 5' 4" and weigh about 145. Based on the listing recommendation I sized up and ordered a large. Ordering the proper size takes some care. The large fits me well but I think a medium would have been a better choice to provide more compression. Having said that, the large provides light compression and feels supportive without being restrictive, so I plan to to wear them under pants on a 9 hour flight this summer.
I usually find leggings to be a bit too long. These cover my ankle without any extra fabric on the bottom.
I can feel the fabric roll or bunch up slightly behind my knees when doing a squat. They are comfortable for walking, standing and sitting. They are a bit translucent at my hips and tummy area. Not see-through, but I can see a dark shadow from my panties. I am not sure anyone else would notice if I was wearing these in a exercise class.
There is no tag to indicate front from back. The back side has slightly more room, once you see it, you can't miss seeing it. I washed these in the machine and hung to dry.
I generally don’t wear compression stockings, except for when I travel by plane. Given how uncomfortable a long flight can be, support and comfort must go hand in hand so I was glad to have the opportunity to order the Medical Compression Pantyhose for Women, 15-20 Mmhg Graduated Compression Stockings, Medical Compression Leggings for Women Men, Support Hose for Edema, Varicose Veins, Swelling, DVT
Pros:
Graduated compression decreasing from ankle to thigh
Quality blend of 70% nylon/30%spandex
Comfortable – lightweight, breathable
Top bands keep stockings from slipping down without being over tight
Reinforced crotch for durability
Appropriate for many purposes: leg fatigue, varicose veins, circulation, pain relief, edema, recovery from surgery, etc
Well made
Open foot for comfort – socks can be worn, if preferred
Observations:
Overall I was impressed with the comfort, breathability, and support provided by these stockings.(15-20 MMHG is considered to be moderate compression.) Please keep in mind the sizes are not typical of what we see in the United States. I typically wear a women’s size 10, which is generally not considered XL. I accidentally ordered a large and it is a little snug around the waist. If I were to order it again, I would err on the side of caution and size up just for the comfort of the waistband when I’m sitting for hours on an airplane.
15-20 MMHG, this would be considered moderate compression. At the current price of $24.99 it seems to be an okay value. There are other Amazon listings that offer 2 pairs for about 1.5x the price, although it’s hard to know if the quality would be comparable.
