Compression leggings for thin legs
I like the restorative properties of a part of compression leggings - having tried many a time both with and without, I definitely feel fresher the next day. However, in some places, round my ankles especially, they're just like a loose veil over my skin. Seems chunkier people get more of the compression effect. I'm slim but I wouldn't say the very skinniest out there - there must be others who've experienced the same.
Is there a pair out there designed for the slimmer person? If I go for a size down, the pants would probably only reach the middle of my calves. The ones I have are short as it is! I'm a 32" long by the way. Thanks for any help

I don't think your ankles, or any joint, benefit s from compression so it won't matter if they are a bit loose as long as they are tight around the muscles.
What size are you currently using ? - I'm a 32 Waist with 34 inside leg, and have pretty skinny legs - originally bought Large Skins (was an inch of so bigger on the waist at the time), but when I bought next pair the shop recommended a medium...still long enough but a bit more snug around calves and ankles. I've also recently got some Orca Killa tights in medium which are pretty tight to get over the feet/ankes but once on are really snug and feel slightly more effective than the skins.
