DRSKIN compression tights

Full-length compression tights in a 92 per cent polyester and 8 per cent spandex knit, sold on their own and in packs of two, three, four and five, from S through 3XL. This is the piece the brand is known for and the pool of ratings behind it says so.

DRSKIN pair

A pair of DRSKIN tights is the same garment whichever card you open; what changes is how many arrive and what they cost per pair. That is worth saying plainly, because the shelf looks like six products and is really one cut in five pack sizes plus a camo pair. The knit is 92 per cent polyester with 8 per cent spandex, which is the fibre the label has to name even below five per cent because stretch is a job rather than a trace, and it is the reason the leg holds its shape at the knee after a wash. Sizes run S to 3XL on every card here. They are cut to sit closer than a legging you would wear alone, so a body between two letters takes the larger one on this shelf, and a first pair is worth buying on its own before a five-pack of it.

Questions about DRSKIN compression tights

How many pairs a week needs, whether the knit holds up in daylight, and what to do when your waist lands between two letters.

How many pairs of DRSKIN tights does a week need?

One per session between washes. A pair comes off wet and it is not going back on tomorrow, so a three-session week wants three pairs, and that is why the pack cards on this shelf outsell the single. Start with a single pair anyway: the waistband is the one thing you cannot judge from a photograph, and it is better to find that out once than five times.

Do DRSKIN tights go see-through when you stretch them?

The knit is opaque at every size in the run, and the place to check is the back of the thigh, because that is where any compression fabric thins most when you bend. If a pair is going to be your outer layer rather than a base layer, look at it in daylight in a deep squat before the first session rather than after it.

What size DRSKIN tights should you buy if you are between letters?

The larger one. These are cut smaller than the leg on purpose, so the smaller letter does not become the right one by being stretched into shape; it becomes a waistband that folds over when you sit. The run goes S to 3XL on every card on this shelf, and the chart on the buying page reads from the waist.
