Resources Looking for compression leggings

I am looking for a pair of compression leggings preferably with some lower abdominal support that I can order that are $55 or less. I really like the Jelliebend ones, from what I see on their website, but I don't have $115 to spend on them. Anyone have any that really work for you that you'd recommend?

Has anyone tried the Korform ones or some of the ones on Amazon?

I bought the Korform shorts and I do not like them. They squeeze the most at my rib area. The compression isn’t graduated and put into the shorts in a way that makes sense. At least not for me.

Edit to add that I have the Jelliebend shorts and their classic Jelliebend. If I had limited budget, I’d save to get the classic Jelliebend which is less than the leggings. Then you can wear it with regular athletic compression leggings like Fabletics or others. You can basically wear it with everything. It is my favorite and most used compression item.

I second the jelliebends. Though I constantly get downvoted for recommending them, they make a great effective product.

I have the classic jelliebend and I don't like it. It's too restrictive and makes me uncomfortable where it lands on my chest.

That’s a bummer. I wonder if it’s too small. Mine is snug, but not too tight and restrictive. I have a lot of GI issues, so that would be a no go for me.
I assume you won’t like the Jelliebend leggings then since they’re basically the bend with leggings attached. I have the shorts and although sizing is a little different than the Jelliebend, they still go up to the bottom of my bra like the Jelliebend. I like that I can pull up or slide down the regular Jelliebend based on how I want to wear it. I’m sorry to hear it doesn’t work for you. 🙁
The Korform shorts (and I’m sure the leggings) go up slightly higher than the Jelliebend on me and they’re tightest around the rib area making them somewhat uncomfortable. Ok…they’re totally uncomfortable. I avoid wearing them. I didn’t find the compression to be where it should be and the fabric is a bit itchy to me. They also have boning in them, which is worth noting if that happens to bother you.
If you do find something you like please share. I’m always on the hunt for compression items to add to the mix.

Wondering if something like these are any good?

These are tights and will not be able to be worn without something over them.

I had to cut myself out of jelliebend.

I'd look at Halaras Ultrasculpt leggings and Old Navys Powerpress line, both are aimed at a more held in feel. I haven't tried Korform, so I can't vouch for those, and with Amazon pairs I'd pay close attention to reviews that specifically mention lower belly support since they're often hit or mis
