Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I think I read every review before I bought these so I'll share my experience. About me: I'm 30, 5'6", 130lbs athletic build. I have a 28" waist (at the smallest) and 36" hips (3 kids!). I'm a lifter, not so much cardio. I've lost 275lbs so I have excess skin on my legs and belly that I need compression pants to hide. I wanted pants that were thick enough to hide the dents rolls and wrinkles from saggy skin and kept my legs tight so I can lift. The fit: I ordered a small based on my measurements. They're absolutely perfect. They are interesting to put on, the fabric is very tight but still stretchy. I knew once I put them on the first time that they would hold everything together well. Once they are on, man they're great! The waist band sits right at the top of my hips, in the middle of my waist. The band is kind of thin so it can dig. Sometimes I'll roll the top down to sit on my hips instead of on my waist but it gives me muffin top from the saggy skin. Baggy shirts necessary then. Also, as with the band, the seams are very tight. So the inner seam in the crotch can get uncomfortable if they're pulled up too high. Ladies know what I mean. But this shouldn't deter you from the comfort of the legs. The length is good, they are a little longer, so someone up to maybe 5'9 would be fine. At 5'6" I have a little bunching at the ankle but it's not an issue whatsoever. The fabric: amazing. Truly! They're so soft and silky and incredibly movable. Again the only issue is the digging of the thin waistband. The thickness is more than I could have asked for, as you cant see any wrinkles or bumps in my legs. Also they're breathable, as I don't sweat very much. I'm shocked. Overall, these are my favorite pants. They're plain black, not shiny at all, I'd say more matte black than anything. So I can wear them to the gym or out to the bar with a cute top. I gave 4 stars because of the seams/band. I know the seams need to be tight to hold the fabric for compression, but the waistband would be better if it were thicker and not a thin strap. Otherwise these pants are 100!
