3D compression vs ordinary leggings: what’s the difference?

3D compression vs ordinary leggings: what’s the difference?

Same silhouette, very different results. Here is why texture matters.

Ordinary leggings are a flat knit that simply covers your legs. They show every lump and bump and often turn sheer when you squat.

The Sculpt Leggingz have raised 3D compression lines that press and release as you walk, a gentle pumping action that helps drain the fluid that makes cellulite show and boosts circulation, while the graduated compression smooths dimples instantly.

Combined with a high, contouring waistband and scrunch-bum seam, the 3D compression design lifts and shapes in a way flat fabric never can.
