New to Fanka compression leggings?
Here’s the most important thing to know: compression leggings feel tight, probably tighter than you are
used to.
And that's totally normal. They're designed that way to sculpt your body, support your muscles, and
enhance your
performance. In short, the tightness is what makes them functional.
This guide will help you pick the right compression level for you, get the right size, and teach you the
best
way to put them on, so you can start feeling amazing from the very first step.
Pick Your Compression
Level
Level
Compression isn’t just about tightness — it’s about how your body feels and performs. Fanka leggings use
PowerLift™ technology to deliver graduated compression, so every move feels lighter, stronger, and
supported.
| Compression Level | How It Feels | What It Does for You |
|---|---|---|
| Light (8-10 mmHg) | Very light and breathable | Keeps your legs comfortable all day |
| Medium (11-17 mmHg) | Snug but easy to move in | Shapes your legs while staying comfortable |
| High (18-23 mmHg) | Firm and supportive | Holds muscles in place and really shapes your curves |
| Ultra (>23 mmHg) | Very tight and performance focused | Maximizes support, stabilizes muscles, speeds up recovery |
| Compression Level | How It Feels | What It Does for You |
|---|---|---|
| Light (8-10 mmHg) | Very light and breathable | Keeps your legs comfortable all day |
| Medium (11-17 mmHg)/td> | Snug but easy to move in | Shapes your legs while staying comfortable |
| High (18-23 mmHg) | Firm and supportive | Holds muscles in place and really shapes your curves |
| Ultra (>23 mmHg) | Very tight and performance focused | Maximizes support, stabilizes muscles, speeds up recovery |
Tip: If you’re new to compression leggings, start with
High Compression (18–23 mmHg) — it’s the sweet spot that delivers
visible
shaping, firm support, and everyday flexibility.

How
to Choose the Right Fanka Compression Leggings for You.
How To Measure Your Size
Getting your perfect fit starts with accurate measurements. Here’s how to find yours:
- Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bum.
- Inseam: Measure from your inner thigh down to your ankle.
Use our Fanka
Size Chart to find your exact fit.
When Your Waist and Hips Fall Into Different Sizes
If your waist and hip measurements point to different sizes on the Fanka Size Chart, don’t worry — use
the guide below to choose the size that will give you the most balanced fit.
| Size Difference | Recommended Size |
|---|---|
| 1 size apart | Choose the size based on your hip measurement |
| 2 sizes apart | Choose the size in between |
| Waist is 3 sizes smaller than hips | Choose one size smaller than your hip size |
| Waist is 4 or more sizes smaller than hips | This style may not provide the best overall fit and is not recommended |
| Waist is 3 or more sizes larger than hips | This style may not provide the best overall fit and is not recommended |
| Size Difference | Recommended Size |
|---|---|
| 1 size apart | Choose the size based on your hip measurement |
| 2 sizes apart | Choose the size in between |
| Waist is 3 sizes smaller than hips | Choose one size smaller than your hip size |
| Waist is 4 or more sizes smaller than hips | This style may not provide the best overall fit and is not recommended |
| Waist is 3 or more sizes larger than hips | This style may not provide the best overall fit and is not recommended |
Example: If your waist is a size S and your hips are a size XL, we
recommend choosing a size L.
How to Put On Compression Leggings
Compression leggings are firm by design, and that’s how they give you support. Here's the best way to
put them
on:
1. Roll leggings up to your ankles
2. Pull up slowly, section by section
3. For Body Sculpt leggings, align the circular support lines around your knees — this ensures proper shaping
4. Adjust waistband and smooth wrinkles
5. Move around for a few minutes — the fit will settle perfectly to your body

How Should They Feel?
When you try your new pair for the first time, it may feel tighter than expected. That’s normal. The
fabric
warms up and adapts to your body after a short while, and the fit will settle into the right level of
support.
A perfect Fanka fit should feel snug and supportive — never restrictive — with a waistband that stays in
place
and a smooth, comfortable hold that moves with you.
Too tight? If you feel short of breath or can’t move comfortably, try a bigger size.
Too loose? If you notice excess wrinkling, size down for a more secure, sculpted fit.
