This website is written by a person with orthostatic intolerance who decided to try a g-suit (as used by fighter pilots) for lower-body compression.

One advantage over compression tights is that you can adjust the pressure, or even completely release it, while wearing the pants. I’m not sure how hard they are to get on and off, but I think it’s easier than high-grade compression.
