I suppose these would work for me if they fit better.  In order to not have the crotch hanging down low I had to pull them up to my belly button.  Then they end up not covering my entire leg, and I''m only 5''3".  The compression was perfect. I''m 113 lbs and ordered a size 1.  I had hoped I would be able to wear these while running but they are definitely only meant to be worn for recovery.  I ended up sending them back because I just didn''t like the fit.
