BioflectCompression Shorts with Bioactive Raised Massaging Knit for Support and Comfort

This is almost an excellent product.-I have purchased the size for my height, weight. CHECK! Perfect there.-This feels amazing! YES something that isn’t too hideously priced, well…almost…wish it fit my budget just a might better because I desperately need this and I’m on a limited budget…-Ok here is what would actually make this a 5 star product. The bottom cuffs slide up and the top rolls down. PAIN IN THE B#@*! Come on guys, quality companies use silicone bumps…you know those non slip grippies they put on socks in the hospital to keep you from flying across the floor? I have those on my professional grade compression sock and they are the best thing EVER! They never roll down and I love them. I also have a pair of Nylons I wear with a dress that has them and same thing they don’t roll down any they are no where as expensive as these. These desperately need about 5 rows of the silicone nubbies along the upper body to keep it from rolling down the belly/body, then some around the leg cuff to keep them from sliding up. What’s the point of using it for compression if it doesn’t stay in place and I am going around trying to pull it up all day. Need a pair of suspenders here or something. If I bought a bigger pair it would still roll off and the leg cuff would be too big as the leg cuff is already just slightly loose.-Next issue to fix, (and others have complained about this) after just 3 uses the crotch wore out and became thin and stretched out. If you put ANY stress on the front crotch area where the stitching comes together in front, that area will start to run. I’m sorry these re just TOO expensive for them to just start running like that especially when you have to run your hands around inside and work them up, you are going to put stress on them while you work them up, that what happens. And creating runs pulling them up should not happen within a few days. That is just not right.-Here is what is seriously wrong with the stitching in this product. The crotch is not stitched properly and that is the main reason it gets runs in the front. I get swelling in my entire leg all the way up my thigh to the inner thigh. This item cannot be pulled up to the inner crotch, but instead does a strange thing almost like a horse shoe seam from one leg to the next so you can never actually get the entire suit pulled up into the crotch area without doing some really weird finagling. If you do try and do that, that is what causes the extra stress on the crotch area that ruins the suit, because it does not actually have a real built in crotch. It’s quite odd actually.Because of this I find, that I still get upper leg swelling between my thighs in the upper area, if I do not get it pulled up exactly all the way into the crotch, but I am a bit afraid to do so because I will ruin another expensive pair. Because some comfort and swelling control of my lymphedema is better than none? It’s sort of a danged if you do danged if you don’t but these have been the best comp pant I have found so far because they have truly worked. They have helped me sleep for the first time IN YEARS. Pain has been reduced in my legs at night and I had no idea what it was that was keeping me awake.If I could get them to fix these 2 things, this would be a 5 star item and worth every penny.

Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod: love these shorts, allow me to explain.I was admitted to the ER in Juneau, Alaska after being woozy and falling in my bathroom (I’m only 52 years old).It turned out that the lymphedema I was experiencing, in addition to hypoglycemia, I was also experiencing hypotension at the same time.Hospital staff recommended that I wear compression garments that were quite costly and not covered by insurance.I did my research and decided upon purchasing garments from this company.Yes: when you pull the shorts/pants out of the package, you may be alarmed, or laugh as I did - there is NO way in heck that these will fit me.However, some shimmying moves, a little bit of grunting, fulminated in a “hug”from this product and my innate ability to sing Amazing Grace out loud in front of my dogs (both Labradorians, who were equally happy to contribute their own voices to my sing, as well as “paw” bump me for a job well done).I am 5’8” tall. I found this compression garment to be more of a capri length than a short length.Perhaps I should have purchased one size smaller? I decided to order one size bigger because of other reviews.Perhaps, if you’re like me, we’re hospitalized, and ended up losing a huge amount of fluid, you may want to size down.

These compression shorts work better for me than the ones I got from Norco and another type I tried from Amazon. I was afraid after reading reviews of the scents bothering some people to try them because I am also allergic to a lot of scents. The scent didn't bother me though, for which I was thankful, as these shorts provide the comfort and give in the pressure that my leg needs. The scent did come out after several washings.I had a large tumor on my leg removed, and after using the Norco and another type from Amazon, they started hurting my leg. I bought these and they provide good pressure for my leg and are flexible, so it doesn't hurt my leg. I'm so happy I tried these. I have bought several pairs by now because I cannot go without them.

Be very cautious about size, ordered the 2xl based on 250 pound weight and 5'4" height in the size chart. The shorts sent could not get much above the knee before it became impossible to pull up. These can not be returned if they don't fit.Update:I was able to talk to the Bioflect people about the problem. They helped me determine the correct size based on my wife's body size. I have ordered a larger size. As far as the return they said to just provide the return reason of "No longer needed" and return the item. There would be no restocking fee, since I purchased the product again in a larger size. I gave it 4 stars because I think they need to move away from a sizing chart that only takes into account the person's height and weight, it needs to be more comprehensive than that.

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.

These are the most comfortable compression shorts I have tried. Was prescribed thigh highs but they rolled and bunched behind my knee making them very uncomfortable. I switched to these and knee high stockings and it’s very doable. I purchased an xxl they fit my 5’ 6” 205 curvy body without pinching anywhere. I don’t need abdominal just in thigh area. It does not feel tight in waste or hips. Bottom just above the knees also a good fit. They also stay put so no running in the bathroom to adjust even after a workout.

Bioflect is a great compression. This was the perfect addition for summer. Wore under a maxi dress. Comfortable and lightweight.
