I have varicose veins on my legs and and vulva and these help tremendously. I have bought several different maternity compression leggings and tights and these by far are the best. I really like the belly support I get from them, and the fact that they do not ride down or roll down. The other compression tights/leggings I have bought ride down or the belly panel only goes halfway up my pregnant belly which is not the most comfortable. It would be really neat if Belly Bandit could make a nude/beige form of these.

I love these tights! I have bad varicose veins from pregnancy and these help so much. I already ordered another pair! I will be wearing these throughout my pregnancy to help with the swelling/pain. I tried so many different compression leggings on Amazon and these are by far the best. They are worth the money.

Like the other reviews say, it is very difficult to put these tights on and take them off, but they really helped my achy, swollen feet hurt less. I own some other compression garments, but none as powerfully compressive as these.

I am familiar with how to properly don compression and so take care to not have any bunching or wrinkles and try to stretch it out just a little behind my knee so it doesn't bunch there as the day progresses but these are just slightly too long for my legs (possibly because I am fairly thin) but I am typically a XS (or size 0) 5'5" girl (slightly long in the body so shorter legs). At this point in my pregnancy I am probably a size 2. I have plenty of friends who are shorter than me who are also petit and I can not suggest this product to them as they don't offer a xs size. So disappointment on not offering an XS aside, for the majority of people who are within the sizes offered I do suggest this product. I suggest trying to wear compression and support before you have problems rather than after. I pull these on kinda inside out both feet first (feet are right side out) and then work them up from there. I also wash these inside out as often or more often than I wash them outside out because I don't want them to collect dead skin and I often wear this under clothes on the outside. It might seem easier to get on a larger size but if there is any bunching it is probably best to stick to your size.

I tried L and boy am I glad we did. I was a size 6 prior to pregnancy, and at 21 weeks, I am currently 38" waist and 43.5" hips (which falls under both L for hips and XL for waist measurements in the size chart). I didn't have great leverage for such a feat, so I laid down on the ground while my husband helped put them on. It was a hilarious endeavor to me, but once they were finally on, my goodness I felt comfortable and like I was being lifted. Almost lighter on my feet. This is worth the struggle for me personally, esp with all my current aches and pains (the belly, hip AND thigh area), but I'll still be investing in just socks for when I need to go simpler.
