Bioflect® Compression Leggings with Bioactive Raised Massaging Knit - for Support and Comfort

I have dysautonomia, orthostatic intolerance, POTS, tachycardia, etc., from long covid and hypermobile Ehlers Danlos (a connective tissue disorder). My doctor recommended daily footless, waist-high compression to (1) help with fluid pooling, (2) help with heart rate issues, and (3) help with proprioception (clumsiness).I've tried more expensive medical brands (Juzo, Sigvaris, etc) and cheaper Amazon brands (Lin, Terramed, etc). These are the sweet spot for comfort/compression/value. I'm 5'7", oscillate between 135 and 150 pounds (size 6 to 8), usually around a 30" waist and 39-41" hips, 32" inseam. The size chart puts me at the M/L, but I found the S/M to be perfect for both compression and length. I've been wearing two pairs in rotation for the past year and a half, probably 4 days a week, and one of them now has a couple of holes, but they're easily sewn.I really like the waist band on these (not too tight, stretchy, but still some compression), and I really like the lower leg compression on these (that's where I most need it!). I also like that they are a little thicker and look like real leggings rather than the Juzo, which made me feel self conscious when wearing them on their own with the butt not covered.At a family reunion, I saw a cousin who is a nurse at a vein clinic, and she said, "I noticed you're wearing the Bioflect waffle leggings! We recommend those to all our patients." So they're apparently also LNP approved!

I love these. Considering cost of ones that are technically not treatment (Tx) compression & ones that cost $100+ .. this is in between. It doesn’t give you hmn level of how much compression, but those ones I find too thin to Feel compressed anyway. I also have autism so myself, I don’t always feel compression. I like that with these, I do sense it & that’s nice for proprioception as well.I wanted these for my Lipedema. I think with everything on Amazon you aren’t able to say whether it treats or not, as this isn’t a medical site but rather OTC. In combination with vibration plate, when I wear these, I feel the histamine shift in my legs and get itchy, which tells me there is something shifting in my lymphatic system. As not much is known well yet about lip, this is progress within my body for what I can do.

Feel wonderful once you get them on. Worth it!

If you are short... these probably will not work for you. If they were not too long...they would be perfect. Very comfortable material and seem like they would help. If they actually fit properly I'm sure they would do exactly what they are intended to do. You don't want to keep pulling them up as they gather behind the back of the knees, around ankles and bikini line areas which is not comfortable at all and doesn't help the reason you're needing them.

Best compression leggings I have found for lymphedema. Noticeable size reduction when I yltake them off.

I thoroughly washed these leggings three times since receiving them. I cannot get rid of the horrendous chemical smell that they came with. Furthermore any other items that were in the washer/dryer along with them became polluted with this noxious poisonous chemical smell.This has happened with a few other fabric items I just recently purchased. Did these get splashed or sprayed with poison before they were sent out?? The abysmal smells stunk out my whole home!

I'm 5'10.5" and normally wear an XL/16Tall in department store pants. I have lipedema and own 3 of these leggings in an XL. I can kinda-sorta wear them at my foot arch, but they do tend to slide up to my ankles with certain shoes. (Not sure why.) These are much easier to get on than my CZsalus leggings, so I'd say the compression is a bit less. These are much easier to wear in the summer, that's for sure! I recently bought the brown and olive colors. While not sheer like nylons, they don't really look enough like athletic leggings to make me think I could get away with wearing them in public with just a long tunic shirt or sweater.

These compression leggings are incredibly thin! If you put these on without gloves (which is what the instructions recommend) you are guaranteed to get a tiny hole that will stretch with time. These are so thin between the waffle texture that even rough skin could damage it so be careful when stretching the fabric and putting them on.Once on, it's the environment you have to be extra careful about. If anything pokes between the waffle texture, you could easily get a small puncture hole that stretches. I have 2 tiny tots and these leggings give me serious anxiety- I have tiny hands grasping me all the time not to mention legos, figures, all kinds of toys that I get poke with or sit on all day long so these seem impractical for my life.Next, washing. Any compression garment should be washed cold, delicate cycle and hung up to dry, never put in the dryer. So the average person who wears these everyday would need 1-2 pairs a day. I just think that this fabric is not practical or trustworthy for regular daily use. And the price of $60+ per pair for questionable long-term quality has me recommending not purchasing these.Now if your life includes just sitting in a soft padded chair and you were lucky enough to be born without fingernails, sure these may work for you. The waffle texture feels nice and the compression strength feels okay for POTS and dizziness but I can't speak for any other medical need, pain, or necessity of the leggings.
