Footless Compression Tights for Women Circulation 20-30mmHg - Purple, Large

For people trying to decide size, I'm 5' and 200 lbs and got a 4X and 5X. For the price, the quality, color and washability are excellent. I've paid double for a different brand which I put a hole in while trying to put them on! The 4X work well for me and isn't such a struggle to put on. These fit well and compression is great for my post-surgery procedure. They will stretch a little but won't sag. They will go back to the original condition once dried. Being so short, I cuffed the bottoms a tiny bit to eliminate excess material at the top of the leggings. While the 5X also work, I found them to be too big with too much excess material.

I bought these knowing they are *tights*, not actual *leggings* and I'm pleasantly surprised on how nice they are! the material is thick and has a different weave than the usual knee-high compression socks? more of a grid design, if that makes sense. Getting them on is a workout as I expected 🏋️‍♀️, but the fabric feels strong and I didn't feel like I was going to rip them at any second so I felt comfortable yanking on them 🙂 The color (purple!💜💅) is very nice and *not shiny!* and they are pretty opaque- not 100% as there is a *hint* of skin, but it's close. I don't think I'd wear them out as pants- they are too snug for that and the change in the weave pattern around the hips gives them away as tights, but I would wear them with a long sweater/tunic that covers my butt completely. Downside of these- they are *LONG* 🗽 I'm a pretty big/tall lady at 5'10" and 250lb (10in ankle, 18in calf, 25in thigh) and for them to feel *right* and not wrinkle/bunch up I had to pull the ankles down to cover about 1/2 of my feet and the waist band all the way up over my gut 😄 By their measurements I could have been a 2x or a 3x and went with the 3x since I've been burned before - I would say to size down if you want Super Strong compression but size up if you want them to be less see-through yet still very firm. very good overall and I feel they will last a long time 👍
