FAQs
What is the compression level of these liners?
The Activa Stocking Liners provide a light 10mmHg compression.
Can these liners be worn on their own?
No, these liners are designed to be worn *under* compression hosiery to enhance comfort and prevent irritation. They are not intended as standalone compression garments.
How many liners are in a pack?
Each pack contains three (3) stocking liners.
Are these suitable for lymphedema management?
They can be beneficial for comfort and skin protection when used in conjunction with prescribed compression garments for lymphedema management, but they do not provide the necessary therapeutic compression on their own.
What material are the liners made from?
The specific material composition is typically a blend designed for softness and breathability, often including nylon and spandex. Refer to the product packaging for exact details.
How often should I replace my stocking liners?
It is recommended to replace them when they show signs of wear, loss of elasticity, or if they no longer provide a smooth, comfortable fit. Typically, this is after several months of regular use and washing.
Troubleshooting
Liners feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The liners should provide a snug but comfortable fit. Re-measure your leg if necessary and consult the sizing guide. Ensure they are applied without wrinkles.
Skin irritation persists
While designed to prevent irritation, check that the liner is applied smoothly without bunching. Ensure your primary compression hosiery is also correctly sized and applied. Consult a healthcare professional if irritation continues.
Liners slide down the leg
Ensure the liners are snug and wrinkle-free upon application. The primary compression hosiery worn over the liner should help keep it in place. Make sure the size is appropriate; if too loose, they may slide.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Activa Stocking Liners are ready to wear. Simply pull them on smoothly over your foot and leg, ensuring there are no wrinkles. They are designed to be worn directly against the skin, underneath your prescribed compression hosiery.
Compatibility: These liners are compatible with most standard compression stockings and hosiery. They are specifically designed to work with garments requiring a smooth interface to prevent irritation. They provide 10mmHg compression and are not intended to replace higher-grade therapeutic compression stockings.
Care: To maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the liners:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cool water (30°C or 86°F). Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: Do NOT tumble dry. Air dry flat or on a line away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Bleaching: Do NOT bleach.
