BIOFLECT® Capri Compression Leggings with Bioceramic Fibers and Micro-Massage Knit- for Support and Comfort

I would like an exchange please. Broke the first day that my wife try

As a regular users of Bioflect compression wear we have found them as a very effective in managing our conditions. They are easy to put on and wear for long hours of the day, especially compared to some alternatives. However I did notice that this pair were a smaller fit than I normally would wear, so you may need to order a larger size.

These fit perfectly, and the wavy texture feels so good! I'm 5'6" and they hit me at mid-calf. They're also a lot less difficult to put on than compression hose. I wanted compression to my calf because I have some mild vein issues and lipedema from the knees up that I don't want getting any worse. These put pep in my step without requiring 15 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise to don. They're also very sturdy and breathable. Not for outerwear, folks - the seams make it clear they are an undergarment - so opacity (or lack thereof) is not an issue. N.b.: these are not good for people who get swelling in their feet. If you try to wear them, you risk fluid backing up below the calf. Kind of the opposite of what you want in a compression garment. Oh, I will add that they are very high waisted and might compress you a little tighter around the abdomen than is comfortable, esp. when you sit down, because they can roll. I find that I can fix this with a little adjustment.

I had tried other brands of compression leggings- only to break out in a sweat trying to get them on, followed by being miserable wearing them, having them get a snag on day one, and seeing no difference in how I felt or looked. An OT suggested trying these as an affordable alternative to the brand they order (for patients with better insurance.) I bought a pair months ago and have gradually been purchasing more because I am very satisfied with them. I find all of my Bioflect garments to hold up very well in the laundry (washed on cold in a mesh laundry bag and then hang to drip dry.) One pair did accidentally go through the dryer once, but they survived. I have not had any issues with seams tearing so far- but my oldest pair are only five months old. They fit comfortably and they are a whole lot easier to get on than any other compression legging I have tried. I wear them to help with my lipedema/lymphedema and find they are making a difference in terms of helping move the fluid. I needed to order one size down after a month of regular wear and I was delighted to rediscover I have ankles. They do have a bumpy weave, so probably wouldn't be appropriate for under a skin-tight "body con" style dress, but I wear them under all my clothes (dresses, jeans, dress pants). I am at the point now where I am uncomfortable if I am NOT wearing them. I have not experienced the waist band rolling down. Very pleased and will purchase more when these wear out.

Fit is about what is expected, perhaps run a bit on the small-ish size (after all they're compression shorts). I'm on the upper end of M/L, and when I tried that size, it was a bit too snug. One size up did the trick. The material is top quality. My daughter wonders how I can even get them on, and they are a bit of work to get into, but once you get the hang of it, it goes easily enough. Instructions for getting into them are in the package.
