So i need a one size up, just like you mentioned. By the way, i forgot to ask: that luon fabric, is it better than lycra or spandex? From your comments it seems like it. Congrats on the compliments! You look great on those and surely deserve.

If you've ever tried on a pair of compression anything, you'll understand. Maybe at first I had a bit of a muffin top which is not quite ideal, and which is why I'll definitely be sizing up after they go on sale again. But they fit really well and I've got a lot of compliments while wearing them. I meant to go watch my 10:00PM soccer game last night, but I didn't end up going as I was just lazy and that's pretty much my bed time now, ha ha. Going to the gym is working well for me, heading there 3x a week basically. Thanks for asking! No, the size smaller in the compression pants don’t make me feel squeezed at all.

So yes, shipping would be a big issue. Still have to look after an international credit card, so i can use paypal. Anyway, i'll check for shipping before going crazy on that site =] Doesn't one size smaller makes you feel "squeezed"? Or do they fit even better? Post more pics of you wearing the other lululemon products you bought. I'm curious to see how great they look. And how's the gym workout going? It seems that you are enjoying it, but i bet you still miss soccer. How's the ankle by the way? The gym crop pants i still have is also compression, so it stays in place and very comfortable. I'll see if i can take pics wearing it (my cellphone camera is broken). Also, the inner shorts of the adidas skorts are also compression, so they fit perfectly, keep the muscles in place (great for working out / running) and it's so comfy and soft. Not to mention both the dry-fit system. Just look for "Adidas Supernova Skort" or "Adidas Competition Skort". A friend recommended those for me, and i was like "Really?". After i bought it, i started to love them too. All my friends now use skorts instead of running shorts =] I'm sure you'll like it too. I’m in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

It may not be the best for you to make an order if you're outside the US/Canada, as you'll get banged with some hefty shipping charges! But they ARE definitely worth the price in my mind. I really hate shipping though. At least here in Can/US it's free! As you noticed there are terrific reviews on the Lululemon website if you look at a pair you can decide from that. The ones I'm wearing are compression running crops, and they do not ride up. However, on the reviews it didn't state (all that much) that they run one size smaller. So ideally I should have purchased a size up. But regardless of that - they're amazing, and I wear them to a lot of fitness classes I attend, and they haven't ridden up or slipped down.

I think i'll sign up for a paypal account so i can get one of those: http://shop.lululemon.com/store/productdetails.aspx?productid=1426&colorid=1809&sli=1 http://shop.lululemon.com/store/productdetails.aspx?productid=1034&colorid=2359&sli=1 The 2nd one is perfect! From the pics i can see the one you are wearing fits perfectly, but does it stay in place while working out? Does it ride up (wedgie)? I had two gym pants that constantly ride up (hated that because they looked great on me), so i ended up getting tired of them. I still have one pair that fits ok without those issues, but lately i'm using tactel or dryfit shorts / lycra shorts and the adidas running skorts i mentioned to you once. I'm in love with them. The skirts are low rise (the waistband keeps the skort in place) and looks fantastic, and the inner shorts are very comfortable and fits perfectly on me (no need to worry about riding up). And when i'm finished with running, i can't still keep wearing it till i get home because they look adorable and stylish anywhere. It's also very flattering on my body =) I have two of them. Here is the model i have: http://www.amazon.com/adidas-Womens-Supernova-Skort-Black/dp/B001OI33LU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1265591749&sr=8-2 And i'm so wanting to get this one (in both white and black - wish they made it in blue): http://www.amazon.com/adidas-Womens-Competition-Skort-Black/dp/B0026XIC3G/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1265591749&sr=8-4 Also, i saw that lululemon has one that looks cute: http://shop.lululemon.com/RunSpeed_Skirt/pd/c/580/np/580/p/1841.html It cover the tights a little more than the adidas ones, but i would still get it anyways. It's great that lululemon isn't afraid of customer reviews and cares about what they think of their products. All companies should be like that. Hey Nancy, those groove pants do look great.
