Women's Compression Leggings High Waisted Performance Shaping Gym, Pilates, Travel, Yoga, Workout Pants

This past year I have taken up running for my health and quickly realized I needed compression gear to help stabilize my joints. I did some shopping around and decided to invest in this brand of leggings. I tried on a few sets of these leggings before settling on the high waisted size M leggings with pockets. I am a comfortable size 10 pants at Torrid, and have been losing weight. According to my measurements, I started with a size L in the regular high waisted leggings. When I put those on, they felt just like putting on normal leggings. I did not feel much compression so I reordered in a size M. This gave me a decent amount of compression - though I think I'd like even more, honestly. But I know that my waist will probably not be comfortable in a size S. I carry my weight in my belly primarily, so it is what it is. I wear a hip brace when I run to stabilize my si joints and found I need to wear it underneath the leggings so it will stay in place. When I did this on the regular high waisted leggings, the waist kept rolling down and becoming a nuisance during my run. So, I ended up making another exchange and getting the super high waisted leggings in size M. These are perfect. It was the pair I originally wanted to order, but I was trying to find the lowest price and so that was partly why I was trying out the previous pairs. It ended up being one of those things where it really is just worth it to pay the extra $$ to get a comfortable, well-fitting pair of leggings that will stay up and secure while running.

My favorite leggings! These are thick - not sheer in the least bit. The material stretches well without issues and washes up nicely too. The leggings are true to size, with a compression band at the waist that is the perfect width on the body. It keeps the leggings from shifting or sliding throughout the day too. The color is a true black with a slight shine in the fabric. They do not snag and look great with every outfit. The only downside is they are slightly long.

Overall the product is good - soft material, not see through, good length and fit/cut, breathable. Shortcomings - for compression, the tummy control is very minimal even for a small bit of tummy. The fabric though soft is rather thin and if a gal has even a small bit of dimples or cellulite on the backside, thr fabric will not smooth it out and will be visible, not flattering. My perspective is from a 30 yr fitness professional that has worn just about everything on the market at all price ranges. This product is better as leggings to layer than for fitness, multiple washes and seat wear from spinning, etc.

I absolutely love these. I have had trouble with my legs and feet swelling since my 20s, at every weight (from 123 in my early 20s to 220 lbs mid-pandemic). Now at 61 my legs and feet suddenly got painfully worse and I really need to wear compression garments most of the time. I tried one pair of these leggings, and fell in love. As soon as my latest order arrives I'll have 6 of them! Most important, they are comfortable — so much so that at first I wasn't sure they would do much good. Before these I had a few pairs of really sturdy, thick, super-constricting leggings. They felt great for a while, but were a serious challenge to get on (and I have good mobility and strength!), and were just too much after 6-8 hours. Ultimately I rarely wore them, because they were such a pain. And if you don't wear them, they don't help! These, on the other hand, don't feel that much tighter than my ordinary leggings. But they are more springy, if that makes sense. They stretch enough that they are easy to put on, and are comfortable all day, but they have enough "squeeze" to seriously help with edema. My legs and feet were happier from day one. I wear them every day, all day (but not for sleeping). I wear them just with a t-shirt for working out. I haven't really checked, but I'm not noticing any obvious see-through issues. They definitely are athletic-looking leggings you can wear alone, not thin like nylons/tights. When it's cold I wear them under sweats. At the dojo I wear them under my gi pants. I've worn them under jeans for an all-day train trip to L.A. and back, walking around museums, seeing sites, ... I was happy to ditch the jeans for the ride home, but the leggings were comfortable the whole day and evening. I've worn the black ones (but not with the socks) under skirts, for going out. Is that stylish? Don't know, don't care. I think they look fine, and I'm a whole lot more concerned with health and pain-avoidance than I am with looking cute. Some additional details that might be helpful: Note that these leggings go the the ankles, NOT to your feet/toes. Because edema in my feet is a problem I am also wearing knee-high compression socks under the leggings. That's also what's causing the lines just below my knees in the photos - those lines aren't from the leggings. I have the high-waisted (not super-high-waisted) ones, with pockets, in both black and black camo. Totally happy with both. Also, yay pockets! I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max (the big one), in a case, and it easily fits in the pockets with 1/2" to spare at the top. I keep it there when working out. It's very secure, and doesn't interfere with movement at all. Trust the size chart! Don't rely on your usual size. I typically wear XL, but the chart said 4X, and it was right. At the time I ordered these last month I was 204 lb, with 48" hips and 40" waist. I'm down to 195 lbs, 47" hips, 37.5" waist and these still are perfect. I'm 5' 7" tall, relatively long-legged. These go all the way from my natural waist (about an inch above my bellybutton) to right where my ankles meet my feet. I just measured, while wearing them, and that's 40". These are loose around my ankles. Like, baggy. You can see a little "draping" in the photos where they aren't tight. That's great because it means they aren't constricting around the bottom seam, which would actually hinder return circulation. For reference, my calves are 17" at their widest, and my ankles are 11". I machine wash them on cool, and hang them to dry. Machine drying might be fine, but I'm hoping to help them keep their stretch as long as possible.

Love these CompressionZ high-waisted compression leggings! The quality and price are unbeatable, and they fit just like my Nike compression leggings. The high waist and tummy control are perfect and they are super flattering and supportive without feeling tight. I definitely recommend trying them!

I’m 5’6” and 135 and carry my weight on my bottom half. I purchased a medium and they fit well. Super comfortable and fit well. Not sure if they are worth the money because they seem like regular leggings more than a compression legging. I plan on keeping them to see if they help with leg issues.

BEST LEGGINGS I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. They have the compressions but also the stretch needed , they’re soft and comfortable, thick enough to not be see thru and pockets! I struggle with leggings , as a bigger girl, slipping down. Wore these all day today and didn’t have to adjust or pull them up at all. Comfortable all day!

Couldn't be happier with my CompressionZ Compression Leggings. They fit like a glove and feel like butter. Plus they have POCKETS and look great on.

not really high compression. waist band is not as wide and comfortable as Lulu Lemon, not as high waisted either. sizing is correct

I sized up as the measurements were hard for me to figure out - and I am always worried that things will be too small. I know they are returnable but I wanted to wear them. I am keeping them even tho they are not adding any compression - because they are now comfy leggings. I will order another pair later in a smaller size.

Smooth soft material just wish it didn’t roll a bit sh top

Schmiegt sich dem Körper perfekt an und gute Qualität

LOVE these leggings. They fit. They're comfortable. They hold everything in. Just. If you were any bigger than me you may not fit in them. I'm 200lbs and 5'7. They aren't as black as I'd like. They're more charcoal than black. But hey, they're leopard print. I also don't find them overfly hot. A huge bonus when you're always hot. And they're long enough too! So many leggings are too short for me. I really like how high the waist goes - camouflages Muffin top lol
