Hi.No. This pad is not removable. This is Cycling Short. But, eventually I using for running also. A help for blood circulation is medical question, and I do not feel comfortable to answer, but he totally fits the body and helps a lot in cycling.Hope this helps

Pads are none removable. The pads are stitched onto the fabric. I don't know about compression shorts but all bibs I've tried are tight. The tight fit helps with wind drag. For this reason I bought the bibs to fit me tight.

That's what we purchased them for and they do work as compression sleeves. However, that is what they are being advertised as. We needed several and these were a great price.

Compression shorts are generally intended as the undergarment layer. Traditional briefs or boxers would not be comfortable worn under compression shorts, due to the tight fit. Athletic supporters (jock strap) could be worn under compression shorts, if necessary.

Yes they are thin, make sure you order a size that provides right amount of compression

I've found this padding to be comparable to my other cycling shorts, which I wear for century rides (5-6 hours). I think most of my shorts are rated for moderate riding, so that's probably what these are rated as well. If you're looking for padding as a way to help make your seat more comfortable on a bike, you might want to consider visiting a bike shop and comparing bike saddles as an additional option. I've been happy with these tights and have found them very comfortable. I've worn them on 2-3 hour rides with no problems. And as I said, they're comparable to the bike shorts that I wear for much longer rides. (I don't usually ride longer in the colder weather, so I haven't tested the tights on a century ride.)

no. MY wife uses them as compression socks for calf and ankle swelling. They work fine.

ly to Louis's question, my husband says these socks are not compression socks. Rather they are extremely comfortable and feather light. Teri V.

Yes but the material used is long lasting; unlike some other brands where the Velcro hooks come unbent and the soft material becomes fluffy. Has not happened to these shorts. I have three pairs and they get used a lot!

not sure, i bought them for my aunt; she has blood flow issues that when standing prolong periods, has pain issue. I do suggest buying a size or 2 higher (in your case, x large or larger), she complained it being too tight. Because these are meant for lower parts, I doubt it would work for thigh.

Hello...Just saying but these clearly state "Women's". I would not wear compression gear designed for a woman if I was a man (certain spots will get squeezed when they should not). However if you are a woman using a man ID: refer the CWX charts knowing that it is somewhat accurate (all people are build differently so going by weight and height rather than leg length and circumference is an issue). Your best bet is to try the exact brand and model at a local store and see how they fit.

Yes. I pull them tight but I have to allow for circulation. I had no idea the thing would be this big and heavy. I am using it by just laying it on my knee while I am lying down.

Since I don't suffer from PF, I can't say yes/no w any certainty; however, they do offer compression around the heel and lower ankle, so it *seems* to me like they would help.

Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but these tights have the same kind of chamois pad that my bike shorts (my very expensive ones) have. They're definitely "cycling tights" and not just running tights.

No, i use the compression shorts as underwear. They are too tight fitting to wear anything underneath them. It would be very uncomfortable

I find them easy for me to take on and off. They just slip on and off effortlessly for me but they are tight fitting but comfortable I think. I have hip problems so that is why I use the compression shorts.

If you have clots, these compressions would be too tight for you. I do not recommend purchasing, rather to find stockings that are only knee high. You can find those at any surgical supply store.
