A member asked:
Can wearing really tight compression tights be detrimental for you in any way? messing with blood flow in body maybe!

Not healthy: Anything that's excessive is usually not healthy. You need enough compression to prevent stasis but too much will impede your circulation not to mention the enormous amount of discomfort.
