My upper legs and hips are making me extremely uncomfortable recently, I just feel like they look too feminine. I'm going to be buying a new binder soon, and I started looking into the compression shorts, but nobody really seems to be able to help me. Do they actually make your legs look thinner and more masculine?

I bought them with my last lot of binders, and frankly I was unimpressed. They're basically just mens bike shorts, and if you want them to do anything you're going to have to get a size or two smaller than your messurements. For the cost, I think you may as well go out and buy a really small pair of bike shorts, they'll do the same thing, and cost less.

I also agree, the only benefit they had was keeping my binder from rolling up.

I bought them as well, no benefit to them whatsoever. I should have bought them in 2 sizes smaller instead of my correct size to see if it would shrink my hips, but I bet that it wouldn't either way.

I never tried the ones from underworks but I tried these from walmart:

I'm going to guess they work the same. Personally, I like them. I feel like they smooth everything out for me.

I've bought both the longer and the shorter legged versions ... and was unimpressed with both.

Some people never cease to amaze me. 

what do you use for a binder? maybe its just me but i just got the 997 and i pull it over my hips, and that does the trick. it says its now 4 inches longer? it works just fine for me. i like it so much better than the tri top

I love the 997 mainly because it compresses my chest and stomach.  I pull if over my hips too but activity makes it ride up, thinking about trying some compression shorts from walmart.
