If you want compression
"These are well-made knickers as are all Terry bottoms. For me, the problems were too much compression for my comfort and the high rise is not preferable. I am disappointed that so many of Terry's bottoms now are high rise. I purchase shorts/knickers by the chamois (Flex air) and length (10 in. in shorts). The mid - rise knicker has a touring chamois with extra padding. There needs to be more choices of mid-rise with original flex air chamois."
