I bought these leggings hoping for decent workout resistance and compression for long flights. Out of the package, my first thought was: “Oh no. There is absolutely no way these are fitting over my hips.”
I was wrong. Very wrong.
These leggings are butter soft, shockingly comfortable, and 100% NOT see-through (bless). The color is rich and solid, they look polished enough to leave the house in, and the length is perfect. They hit exactly where I need them to, so I can wear my cowboy boots without bunching.
After wearing them for four straight hours, the waist did not roll down once. No tugging, no adjusting, no silent rage.
I have a 14-hour flight coming up, so I’ll know more soon about the compression side of things, but so far they feel like a great travel option.
Full transparency: if you’re buying these specifically for built-in resistance, temper expectations. I just finished a workout and didn’t feel any noticeable resistance. Think comfort first, performance bonus later.
Bottom line: If you want insanely soft, flattering, squat-safe leggings that stay put and look good while you squat… these are a win. If resistance is your main goal, this remains to be seen.

Nice compression fit.
Nice fit. It is thin but has a compression like feel. I can easily work out in them. It is supposed to to increase the work out but I do not feel any difference after a workout. I wash in a bag and hang dry

GREAT LEGGINGS
Feel wonderful. Snug fitting but very comfortable. My legs tend to ache, but when I wear these, they do not ache at all.

Buttery soft, flattering (no see-through), yes! Resistance? Not so much….

WASTE OF MONEY!! NO RESISTANCE BANDS!! ROLLS DOWN WAIST CONSTANTLY!!
I wore these expecting to maybe feel SOMETHING after wearing them… NOTHING! The resistance bands are non existent. They’re tight so they make tou think maybe there could be but no. Plus they kept rolling down at the waist. Now I’m not big AT ALL. 5’6″ and 135lbs… I’m glad I just went with the 7/8 length that were on sale for $40 instead of the full length for $100 because I would’ve been fuming. Needless to say these are going straight in the goodwill pile. Don’t waste your money!

Worth It!
Love these compression leggings! These are a decent dupe for the Fanka brand workout leggings. They fit very well and the compression is noticeable without being too restrictive. They stay in place while working out and there’s no sagging or slipping down. I definitely recommend them!

No way these are priced appropriately given some fabric and cut issues
I’d describe these as light-to-moderate compression. The material over the butt and legs is quite thin and not squat-proof, so wearing a thong is necessary. The waistband, however, is thicker and has higher compression.In my opinion, the cut should be higher. As designed, the waistband sits in a way that indents your stomach, which actually disrupts the smoothing effect. If you pull the waistband up to your true waist (the smallest part of your abdomen), then the bottom of the compression band shifts above the lower tummy instead, which creates a different problem.For this price I am sticking with Super Fit Hero and Baleaf.

Would not repurchase for short girls
Compression is there. Although, would not buy again. The compression bands do not remain in place over the knees. If i would have sized down for better knee fit then they would not have fit in the waist. For my 5’2” frame they were also long, which as well contributed to fit at the knees. The material was on the thinner side of thickness compared to other leggings.

Stretchy and Well Made
These resistance band leggings are great! They fit true to size, and are very stretchy. They’re comfortable and the material is thick and feels like it will hold its shape for a long time.
