Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My size info: 180lbs 5'6 hips 41" waist 35" I was having a hard time figuring out what size to order from other reviews stating these are compression pants order up. So i did. I usually wear an xl in yoga type pants but can fit in large as well. So i ordered these in xxl. I got them and they weren't compressing anything didn't have any of the popping sounds people talked about. So I ordered an xl and a large to try on. I will be keeping all three. They all fit. Attaching photos to show fit and I wrote the size on the mirror. I wear them just barely covering my belly button to suck in the spare tire between my hips and belly button. The white pattern ones do show thru if you are wearing bright undies. I put on some bright striped full coverage underwear to test it. I will definately wear nude colored panties with these in public. The xl made a couple popping noises while pulling them on. The L had several popping noises while pulling them on but they pulled right up no fighting or struggling to pull them on. They all were slightly baggy around calf area but were easy to pull up to a position where they fit snuggly and they didn't bunch up. So far they seem to stay in place but I have only worn a pair once so I will update my review after I have worn them more. The smaller the size the more compression there was without feeling like I was being crushed. These are my first pair of compression pants so cannot say how they compare to other compression pants. They feel comfortable and feel durable. I will update when there is something to update.
