FAQs

What level of compression do these stockings provide?

These are Class I compression stockings, offering light, graduated support suitable for mild venous conditions.

Can I wear these if I have diabetes?

While designed for general therapeutic use, individuals with diabetes should consult their healthcare provider before using compression stockings, especially if they have neuropathy or circulation issues.

How often should I replace my compression stockings?

Compression stockings typically lose their elasticity after 3-6 months of regular use. It's advisable to replace them within this timeframe to ensure continued therapeutic effectiveness.

Can I wear these overnight?

These stockings are designed for daytime wear to support circulation during activity. They are generally not recommended for overnight use unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.

What is the difference between Natural and Black colours?

The difference is purely cosmetic. Both Natural and Black colours offer the same therapeutic compression benefits and are made with the same materials and technology.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the Scholl sizing guide which typically involves measuring your calf and ankle circumference, and sometimes leg length. Accurate measurements are crucial for proper fit and function.

Are these suitable for travel?

Yes, compression stockings are often recommended for long travel, especially flights, to help prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) by promoting circulation.

Troubleshooting

Stockings are difficult to put on.

Ensure the stocking is rolled down completely before putting your foot in. Smooth out any wrinkles. Use talcum powder or a donning aid if needed. Check that you have the correct size.

Stockings feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Verify that you have selected the correct size according to the Scholl sizing chart. If the tightness is localized or causes pain, remove the stocking and consult a healthcare professional. Ensure the stocking is not bunched up or twisted.

Stockings are sliding down.

This may indicate an incorrect size or insufficient elasticity. Ensure the leg is clean and dry before application. If the issue persists, consider a different model or size.

Skin irritation or rash.

Ensure the skin is clean and dry before applying. Wash the stockings regularly. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Check for any tears or rough seams inside the stocking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These compression stockings are designed for immediate use. Ensure you have selected the correct size (Small, Medium, Large, or Extra Large) by referring to the manufacturer's sizing guide, as proper fit is essential for therapeutic effectiveness. Gently roll the stocking down from the top, then step into it and carefully unroll it upwards, ensuring there are no twists or wrinkles, especially around the ankle and calf.

Compatibility: This product is compatible with most everyday footwear and clothing. It is designed for adult use and is gender-neutral (Unisex).

Care: Machine washable at up to 40 degrees Celsius. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric and compression properties. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat. Do not iron.
