Reddit mentions: The best sports compression sleeves for women

I like compression socks for recovery but I don't like how they make my feet feel during the run, so I got these calf compression sleeves and it's so nice. Now I can wear whatever socks I want to during the run and still get the benefit of compression on my lower legs. Then I wear super tight compression socks after my shower.

I know there's some debate over whether compression helps during the run, but I can tell a difference for myself. I'm less sore after long runs when I wear the sleeves.

From what I have read compression leg sleeves help with shin splits a lot. I purchased these to help with my calves getting hard after running for 20 minutes and seem to help a lot.

> Also, you can get some Olympic adapters on amazon, that’s what I did

This one by chance? How well do you like yours?

I've worn compression sleeves for shin splints and they've worked great. Er maybe it was placebo? Either way, my shins felt/feel way better.

[This is what I use] (https://www.amazon.com/Elixir-Cooling-Sleeves-Protective-Compression/dp/B0041QKSJ2/ref=pd_sim_194_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0041QKSJ2&pd_rd_r=CBCHYMHNCB002B7NBPPA&pd_rd_w=zxS8m&pd_rd_wg=sKsOx&refRID=CBCHYMHNCB002B7NBPPA&th=1)

I also use those Under Armor or the like long sleeves under my scrubs. It benefits me because I go straight to the gym after work.

You can get sleeves with thumb and finger holes in them. I worked in a cold absement for a few years and those helped me. I realize it isn't a full solution to your problem, but it did help me a bit. Something like these but maybe more insulated

I have these and I like them a lot so far! Great customer service too-I ordered the wrong size and inquired about returning them and they immediately refunded me. I also have a pair of compression socks from Physix that I like as well.

I can relate to the body aches and missing beer. I am on my feet all day at work too and find that I can't live without my Zensah compression leg sleeves and my Alegria shoes. My hips have been killing me since the second trimester and I get wicked sciatic pain, which feels like someone is poking me with electricity or a knife in my butt crack at the most convenient of times. Hang in there, we can make it.

Let's talk about the beer for a minute- summer is the worse time to be preggos. I am not a big drinker at all, but I do miss having a nice beer or cocktail while out to eat or just on a hot summer afternoon. Here's to you Oberon (one of my go to summer beers), I'll drink you again next summer. Also just found out my favorite restaurant is opening a taco stand/speak easy combo this fall... I can't wait to have this baby and try a prohibition era cocktail with a side of tacos.

They're two different things to me.

Compression sleeves

Compression socks

The former would be better for unshod running. the latter would get ripped up.

These saved me

Look into some claf sleeves, I these and they help.

I have a pair of these. It is one of 4 pairs of sleeves and I haven't noticed a difference between brands. The company also has socks but I don't wear compression socks, just sleeves.

and your do-it-yourself-skills are to be admired.. i need to learn to weld

Had this problem before get a pair of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00PZ5HTIG/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1521182762&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=shin+splint+compression+sleeve&dpPl=1&dpID=41xh8IFNT2L&ref=plSrch
N just keep running and eventually it will go away

Zensah compression sleeves

I got shin splints pretty bad when I got back into running (15 year break, lol). You sound a lot like me, I couldn't get them to go away. I tried compression sleeves, and they worked like magic!

I bought these.

I wear them while I run, and for a few hours after, maybe more depending on how long I run for.

Before, a mile would kill me. After several months, I'm running 8+ without pain - unless I forget to wear them. I'm no expert, perhaps I need to check my form as well, but they worked magic for me.

I have the same problem. I used to always get cramps on my cardio days. My solution was investment in compression calf sleeves. I'm not saying this will solve all your problems. But it does help the recovery period and lengthen my training time. Also, stay hydrated and bananas.

I think you can use these as leg warmers... not entirely sure though...

I have and they seem to help. I can't promise they will be an end-all cure but wear them around during the day (even during running) and they may help you. Here are the ones that I own, I know there a lot of people who swear by these things. I don't use mine too often anymore because I have gotten over the shin-splint hump (eventually you will also, just don't give up hope), but at the height of my shin pain, I would never run without these things.

I bought a pair of these on amazon. I like them so far but it hasn't been super nice out to use them a whole lot.

You could get an adapter sleeve like this and just cut it in half or something. You could also slip it onto 3/4" pipe (I've done it with that model; you will have to press really hard, but it can be done) and make your own dumbbell handle. Use some hose clamps as collars.
