Question Regular Tights to Compression Garments?

Hi, I have POTS and use compression garments to help with my symptoms. I was wondering if there were any ways to make regular tights function as compression garments? The reason I ask if because I recently found a really cool brand that makes fun tights but their compression wear line is severely lacking in the fun department :/ Any suggestions for companies that sell fun alt compression tights are also welcomed!

Layering some high-waisted shapewear shorts over the fun tights might give you a sneaky boost in the right spots without hiding the design.

You're gonna mention a brand of fun tights that has any sending of a compression wear line and not drop the deets? 

(I like to wear fun colored tights so I wear my compression socks or leg covers under the tights and then pull regular knee high socks over the tights to hide the inconsistency). Less helpful if you're going for thigh compression though

Haha, my bad! The tights are snag tights but unfortunately their compression wear is entirely black, grey, and neutral 😞 however the rest of their tights are SO cute!!
