FAQs
Can I wear these while sleeping?
Generally, compression stockings are designed to be worn while upright. Consult your physician regarding use while lying down or sleeping.
How do I know if the compression is working?
You should feel a firm but comfortable pressure. If you notice signs of redness, numbness, or skin discoloration, remove the stockings and contact your doctor.
How often should I replace these stockings?
Depending on usage and care, compression stockings typically maintain their effectiveness for 3 to 6 months of daily wear.
Are these suitable for both men and women?
Yes, these are designed as unisex hosiery to provide therapeutic support for any adult anatomy.
What is the benefit of the toe inspection hole?
The hole allows for easy, non-invasive monitoring of blood flow (capillary refill) and skin temperature by medical professionals.
Troubleshooting
Stockings are rolling down during use
Ensure the skin is free from lotions or oils before application, and check that the band is placed properly on the calf.
Difficulty pulling the stockings on
Use rubber gloves to grip the fabric, which provides better traction and prevents nail snags, making it easier to distribute the fabric evenly.
Feeling of constriction or pain
Check to ensure the stocking is not bunched up. If the pain persists, remove the stocking and verify that you are wearing the correct size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the stockings remain effective, it is vital to select the correct size based on your ankle and calf measurements. When putting them on, gather the fabric at the heel and slide the foot in first, then smooth the material up the calf to ensure no wrinkles form, as these can cause discomfort or constriction. For care, it is highly recommended to hand wash the stockings in cool water with a mild detergent and air dry them flat. Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or high-heat tumble drying, as these can degrade the elastic fibers and reduce the compression rating.
