What's the least medical looking -ie I still look in my 30's, not 104 - tights out there? Do any just look like nice opaques? *hopeful face.

Totally agree with u Jo, My compression garments are all brown and indeed I look like a real grandmother. It would be nice if they were making some black ones or even better transparent, invisible ! :-). It is annoying enough to put off with them and to have to wear them every freaking day.

if we have to wear them for life and nobody cant find a real cure for us, can anyone come up with some garment a little bit more sexy! It is expensive enough !

I often wear a pair of opaques over my 'skin colour' compression - it works well. Juzo do have some fab colours too and solidea do a class 1 compression legging that may work over your usual compression - as it is class one and they are soft, they will not give you a torniquet effect at the ankle - the style is Wendy and you can get them from John Bell & Croydon on Wigmore Street; or on line at DayLong. Solidea also do another legging called Silverwave (you will need the LONG style and you will find them in the sports section of the webpage); they are also great for wearing over compression and you can get those from a solideatights.com - they come in white, grey, black and mocha. Good Luck, NNE
