Review on CW X Standard Endurance Generator Compression Sports & Fitness and Other Sports by Kino Gerami

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for hypermobility and connective tissue disorders

I am 5ft 10" and about 160 pounds. I ordered the big one first. While it was comfortable and compressed well in the thigh area, I didn't feel anything other than slight compression in other areas. I went to my local running store to try them on and found that while initially uncomfortable, the Medium was exactly what I needed. I received the medium in the mail from Revain and it was great! You have to shake and move a bit to put them on, but it's worth it. If you feel like they're too tight, I'd suggest trying the CW-X's lower compression first. Once you get used to it, try again. I plan to wear them almost every day. I just bought another set of CW-X tights to wear when I'm not going to be walking or doing physical therapy as much. (Rotating pantyhose increases lifespan as the elastic breaks over time!) BG: Thanks to hEDS, a degenerative connective tissue disease, I have almost no muscle tone. I use them for medical reasons hoping to over train my muscles and joints. I am not currently using the normal muscles that people would use to walk, run, sit and stand. I have to relearn everything! Even though I only wore them once, I was able to walk longer and haven't had any pain since. I usually feel like my knees are falling off and I have to hobble home. They've made my hips feel a little weird, but I feel like my hips aren't aligned properly and they're trying to get them back to their natural position. I will update if anything changes! PS: I look and feel sexy/stylish in them too! Just a plus ;)

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
