Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So let me tell you a story.... I have noticed a lot of swelling in my ankles and legs lately from pregnancy. As a former Med Tech I knew that the go to treatment for edema is compression therapy. Most of my career I've been the equivalent of a floor nurse so I've worn compression socks and they work wonderfully. So I venture to Amazon and research the absolute best compression leggings they sell. After reading up on different brands I decided on "CompressionZ". Little did I know that these bad boys mean business. They bring a whole new take on the term "fits like a glove". When I unpackaged these suckers I thought I ordered the wrong size. They looked like they'd fit a 5 year old - I double checked and sure enough I ordered the right size. I didn't think much of it - spandex can do wonders judging by some of the not so clad women in Walmart. At least I bought the "non-see through leggings with a money back guarantee"... Well honey let me tell you what... it took me 20 minutes, a step stool, and just short of a miracle from God for me to get my left leg into these leggings. I had second thoughts and was about to back out but I was determined 😬 I even thought about lubing my right leg with a slick coating of petroleum jelly to help accomplish the goal... but decided to just do it ✔ I took a deep breath and prepared.... 20 minutes later I successfully had both legs in up to my hip. I thought the worst was over... I took a sigh of relief... but man was I wrong. 😔 I have two hips and a rather round backside region... After laying on the bed and almost passing out holding my breath the leggings waved a white flag and alas! I won the victory. I stood up and tried to move... I felt the circulation slowly exit my lower legs and I lost feeling in my right pinky toe. My ankles looked like inverted muffin tops where the leggings stopped. But hey, they were on! I went back to Amazon to read up on these 5 star rated leggings to see if I had missed anything... apparently they even prevent deep vein thrombosis! Hey! If you have thrombosis just remove all blood content and circulation and BAM! Problem solved! I must have read over the review that suggested customers to purchase 2 sizes larger than normal... I can say that it was satisfying to peel back the leggings and slowly roll them down my legs as I felt the feeling come back... I can now relate to a can of popped biscuits. My muscles felt rejuvenated as well, probably due to the newly flowing blood. Moral of the story - ladies, if you want cellulite reducing, firming leggings that prevent deep vein thrombosis and take away the ability for you to feel your lower extremities... look no further. I couldn't keep them on long enough to benefit from the compression to treat the edema as I feared eventual permanent paralysis... but feel free to try!
