Yessssss! Finally!
I’ll start off by admitting that I am a very picky person. I’ve bought and returned countless pairs of exercise leggings. When I found these Compression Z capris on Amazon, I was thrilled. I’m short (barely 5’3”), and 50 yrs old, so my skin isn’t tight like young girls. I also lost a considerable amount of weight, which doesn’t help the loose skin situation. I'm excessively self conscious about wearing leggings, and since I joined a gym last year, I was stressed about looking like a jello jiggler as I worked out. These capris are everything! I’m not embarrassed to wear them. They make me feel confident! They smooth me, suck me in, aren’t paper thin (although you might slightly see cheeks if you’re bending over outside in sunlight), and they STAY UP! The material isn’t super shiny, but not matte either. My gym shirts don’t stick to these pants. Any shirt materials glide nicely over my hips and butt. Yes, this actually matters to me. Told you I was picky! Haha! Even though they are truly compression pants, they’re comfortable. I want to wear them all the time! And bonus ladies, they’re priced fairly. Lulu who?!!!
I weigh 135 and ordered size small. A medium would also fit fine, but I like the super compression while still feeling comfortable and able to breath factor. They are high waisted, and come up just above my belly button, and 3/4 of the way down my calf. I carry most of my weight from my hips down. I imagine if I carried more weight around my middle, the waist band might roll down with a size small. Hope all of my probably way too detailed info helps. If you’re exercising, especially if you’re starting later in life, it’s hard but keep going girl! It’s worth it.
