Old navy compression pants



Recommended Posts

How do they do with cottage cheese thighs, make it better? Emphasize it? Are they breathable, hot and miserable? I'm going to save them to my want list if they're good.

Thanks! I just ordered a couple of the running looking ones. I'm particularly excited about the grey/pink ones! I'm excited to try them on. :)

I have this one pair of calf length yoga leggings that fit so awesome and make me feel like I must look great! Until I saw myself in the mirror, they enhanced every little ripple and crater in my skin :wacko:

The new ones aren't that great, i think they are really thin and feel like pantyhose. I would go with Underarmour or Nike. Worth every penny. You can find great priced Nike at Penny's some weeks.

I love them! I have several pairs and they allow my skin to breathe. I hate workout pants that feel thick and show sweat spots in the crotch area. They aren't super tight but I don't like my workout pants to feel stiff so it works for me. I feel so slim when I put them on and they come up above the belly button and that's exactly what I need after having 3 kids. I can't wear low rise anything lol. They are fitted but not stiff and if you can do a split these will definitely allow you lol. Oh and I have cottage cheese legs and they look great on me.

Well I don't have Old Navy but I do have Flexees exercise pants...they look like this:

And at first I didn't wear them. It basically took all my excess skin/fat and pushed it up! Well then I figured out how to combat that. By wearing a Flexees tank like this:

And that helps smooth the lumps and bumps. The only thing I don't like about the leggings is I wish they were a tad longer (I'm 5'6") and I always feel like they are a bit on the short side. Other wise I really like them.

The best ever (IMO) are the Marika Tech mid-calf yoga leggings. The waistband is wide and comes all the way up to the navel but the trimming is low around the hips, giving you the best of high-waisted and low-rise :) The thickness of the fabric is perfect, thick enough to smooth everything out and absorb sweat, thin enough to stay sleek and not get in your way or make you overheat (an issue for me). Best ever!!

I work for Old Navy and they are actually having a sale on them right now. They make a thin version and a thicker version. There is a price difference. The grey/pink or the black/pink are some of the better quality ones, so good choice! :)

Ooh thanks. I think I ordered the black real too. The ones w the slit in the back had a review that said they were almost see through. And I took advantage of the sale. :)

Thanks for the tip about them being on sale! I went and bought a pair of capri length, just black. I think the sale has wiped out some of their stock so there was limited options. I'm wearing them right now and really like them!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
