When I went to the Under Armour store and asked for spandex, they redirected me to the compression shorts. Any help with the difference?

There is no difference in material, except compression tights are designed to enhance blood flow during and after working out and training, as well as faster recovery from fatigue and reduction on the chance of injury. They are constructed in a fashion that works with the muscle groups.

Regular spandex is mainly for less resistance and also high mobility with no restriction but doesnt have the compression factor. Mostly bought by women for comfort and fashion rather than purpose. Women are known to mainly buy the regular spandex. But have been also known to buy the compression tights also for training.

Men who buy spandex are generally looking for spandex to suit their training purpose. Rarely would you see a man buy regular spandex unless it was the proper cycling shorts that has padding in the crotch area for cycling reasons.

Compression shorts do help.
I am on the wrestling team and my team mates used compression shorts under their singlets instead of cups. compression shorts can keep your family jewels safe and is not as constricting as cups.
It keeps everything tucked in and the padding keeps your junk a little safer.

If your playing sports I think compressoin shorts would actually be better.

I have a 9yo stepdaughter who wears a womens size 16 in jeans. I have searched high & low for fashionable jeans for her to no avail. I did manage to find one solitary pair of Arizona jeans in a plus girls 20 1/2 at my local JCPenney but apparently it must have been some fluke in sizing because I can’t find anymore, even on their website.

I can buy her womens jeans but it is painful to pay top price for jeans that I have to pay someone to cut 8″ off because the legs are way to long and capris don’t do well in the winter and for young girls, womens jeans are so “blah”.

Since she doesn’t live with me full time I don’t have any control over her diet/exercise and I worry about any negative pressure to her self-esteem by addressing her weight issues.

Does anyone know of any online stores which may be of help?

www.oldnavy.com.you can also check on yahoo search for rave,blue seal, and other teenage fashion stores and also check to see if arizona has a website.
