I always felt the compression tights made my @$$ look too big.
Actually, back in the olden days when I was in exotic climes like TX, before UnderArmor was a gleam in someone's eye, many of us wore long underwear because we wanted to be sure and work up a little sweat to keep us cool. Not a LOT of sweat, just some.
I wear compression shorts. Used to wear McDavids, but got two pair UltraJoc this year and really love em. I usually wear special socks to be sure I don't get blood clots and keep good circulation going (after effects of the heart stuff).
Not too far removed from the old compression tights, but my @$$ looks much better.
