    Got a pair of cheap Sugois Midzero in XL, length is good, but they’re a bit roomy around the waist/butt, 88% polyester 12% spandex, any suggestions on how to shrink these gradually? Have a dryer.

    I don’t think you can shrink man made fibres!
    They’ll definitely go smaller if you put them in an oven though 😉

    Do some more deadlifts and squats

    To my great surprise, heating the tights in the oven at 150C (polyester melts at > 230C) for 5 minutes worked perfectly.

    Were you wearing them to get the true shrink to fit effect?:-)

    It’s what we old people used to do to shrink fit jeans – though that involved sitting in the bath not the oven.

    Gotcha, well yes, shrink to fit, think the XL size is for slightly overweight people, length good, but a bit big in the waist and arse (Im 193 88 kg so not skinny).
