Compression clothes for plus size?

in Introduce Yourself
Has anyone used (and loved) compression pants for the very plus size? Apparently in the compression pants, I'm about a 3x, which is impossible to find. The 2x fit me, but the waist squeezes so tight, there's no way I can run withstand that.
Just looking for feedback from people :) I have a mud-type 5k and I want to wear compression under clothes.

    I got some great compression pants at Old Navy. I'm ususally a 3X too, but their 2X in the store fit me. They also have plus sizes online, so you could order them from the website.

    I use compression shorts from these folks: http://www.aerotechdesigns.com/

    They don't have plus sizes for women, but they do for men. I don't know what the difference would be between the two.

    Old Navy for sure - their compression pants are amazing - and come in all sizes. Not to mention, you can afford more than one pair.

    Compression pants are thin pants made from elasticized fabric, usually a lycra blend, designed to provide the legs with support for a variety of situations. These pants, like other compression garments including shorts and socks, are tight fitting to provide support, while still allowing air to flow between the body and the material. There are several uses for these garments, most often for sports medicine and recovery.

    In sports such as track, football or baseball, in which injury to a leg muscle can easily occur, compression pants are often worn under player uniforms to support the leg muscles and to help prevent injury or further damage to an existing muscle injury. For added protection, they may be worn regularly by athletes who have experienced recurring injuries to the same muscle or group of muscles.

    Compression pants are also used in post-operative healing. When surgery affecting both legs, such as liposuction, is performed, these pants are often provided to the patient to help support the legs and maintain proper blood circulation while healing. They and other compression garments provided for post-operative healing may be different than those worn for sports, so do not attempt to substitute garments. Medical compression pants are designed to be worn for extended periods of time and to provide the right amount of support to the right areas of the body.
