Sizing

My cousin who is a bit larger than me purchased these tights and recommended I buy a small, which is what she purchased. I am a size 6 pants - 130 lbs, 5'3" - 5'4". I have no idea how she squeezed her self into them! She's a size 8 140lbs. I know they are compression tights, but I could barely get my foot through the ankle, and the waste band has no stretch (I struggled to get it over my bum!). I felt like I was squeezing a pair of jeans 2 sizes to small on. Before exchanging the small for a medium, I went into the store to try the medium on. They too were very very snug, but made me feel more comfortable. On both pair, I had to struggle to get the crotch all the way up. Perhaps my legs are longer than an average 5'4"er. Other than that, they do support the muscles well and even with a size up, I feel they were supportive in the right places as indicated. Also, being sweaty and running, there is no way I'd go to the bathroom because I don't think I could get them back on!
