These are marketed as specifically beneficial to wear AFTER workout for RECOVERY... what about wearing them DURING workout?

Actually, they can be worn during any physical activity. Since I'm a gym rat they work great during interval or circuit training. Try them either way and I'm sure you'll be pleased.

Yes. I bought these for my husband to use while working out. He loves them!

As mentioned by Hridoy, the headphone design would preclude you from weight lifting while lying on your back. Otherwise, as long as you have a good snug fit, these would be great for working out - I've found them to be sweat resistant.

Squats? I have worn mine during squats and they stayed up just fine. Not sure how much compression you're looking for. These are comfortable enough to wear all day (or sleep in) without being tight enough to cause my calves to ache by evening. I really like mine; they do exactly what I need of them.

I wear mine for working out and I just make sure I wipe them off after with alcohol free wet wipes and then dry them. Unless you sweat an unnatural amount you should be fine.

For squatting they're certainly usable but they're not top of the line. If you really want to invest good money into saving your knees from years of squats, I would highly recommend going the extra mile with some Rehband knee sleeves or SBD knee sleeves. However, those sleeves are only for squatting and leg lifting weight exercises and might only be worth it if you squat frequently and with heavy weights. As for sleeping, you shouldn't be wearing these or any other sleeves when sleeping, I would suggest simply letting your knee air out during and relax during sleep but if you have a knee injury that really does hurt a wrap of some sort would most likely be better for compression. Hope this helps. For squatting they're certainly usable but they're not top of the line.

Definitely not during your work out. I wore mine at work and at night, but I'm not a weight lifter. I'M NOT EVEN SURE IT WORKS !

I am not exactly sure how you define compression but I wear them all the time to crossfit and they they stay in place (a couple of inches higher than mid-shin) during the entire hour of a strenuous crossfit workout. I also never feel that they are so tight that they cut off circulation. So I think they are perfect. I hope this answers your question

Yes. In my opinion when I wear the compressions, I feel more secure. I feel my legs are supported as I run. I do not feel overly compressed or too tight. I wear them for every run and love the feel. Definitely recommend.

From a "functional" perspective, I would say that they can be worn everyday without stretching out -I wear mine usually over night several times per week for recovery and they've kept their shape and elasticity well. I can't speak to whether this is medically appropriate however since these are designed for fitness use, rather than medical use -I would recommend talking with your doctor if you have concerns in this area.

I wear them to lift and for long runs, they don't move at all. I think they have a video on the site of Tebow doing Snatch/Cleans.

Despite of its flimsy build quality, I would not recommend these for intensive workout. Wearing over the ear is required for perfect fit (as it won't fall off) and seal. Wearing "down-ear" will cause microphonic and burden to your ear canal despite of its miniscule size.

I wear mine until I get uncomfortable. At first it was a couple hours...then it was half a day. I would say 'listen to your body'. Keep in mind, I'm not a doctor! :) I do know that if you slump, it is uncomfortable. You have to wear it enough to retrain your muscles to hold you upright.

Definitely don't wear underwear w the compression shorts. They are very comfortable to wear under shorts or athletic pants. I recommend them. I wear them every time I work out or run

For me personally, I won't recommend wearing these in a gym. But you know your body system and how much you can bare without wearing.

I wore it only during the day and while I worked out. Not at night as I was at rest. A also wore it while skiing every weekend. I believe it helped my recovery dramatically. Good luck!

I use them just like weights in the gym. They are awesome. I love them. Good luck.
