Amazon Basic Care Medical Compression Stockings, 20-30 mmHg Support, Women & Men Thigh Length Hose, Open Toe, Beige

These stockings are a great option for anyone in need, and the price is much better than that of the well-known brands. They are made from the same materials, offer the same elasticity, and provide the same level of compression. I struggle with varicose veins and swelling in my legs, especially from tightness around the ankles. Traveling long distances on flights can be challenging for me, but these stockings really do the job and give me peace of mind. They are a bit warmer, but still comfortable. Just make sure to purchase the correct size and the adequate compression level as recommended by your doctor, tailored to your specific condition.I highly recommend it.

I was pleasantly surprised by these compression stockings. I was having water retention issues after switching blood pressure medication and needed something to help the aching and pressure in my legs. I have a plethora of knee-high compression socks from working on my feet 12+hrs per day however none of them were relieving the pressure in legs or supporting my knees.Sizing was accurate and the stockings apply the amount of pressure I would expect from something labeled 20-30mmHG, having worn varying strengths of compression socks in the past.Surprisingly, I had zero issues with these stockings rolling down. They stayed up where I placed them. The grippy part of the stocking didn't irritate my skin either. The open toe on these stockings is much more comfortable than other brands I've tried. My toes could lay in their natural alignment without pinching or gripping. The material is soft and strong. I have cats who like a good lap to sit on and a crazy 5 yr old who spends a lot of time climbing my legs and had zero issues with snagging. They also breathe surprisingly well. I didn't overheat, feel sweaty, or damp under the stockings.Just like other brands/types of compression-wear... they can be tough to get on. Follow the instructions and take your time. Make sure your skin is completely dry or you're going to get stuck. That goes for all brands of compression stockings, not just this one.I liked these so much that I wish I had found them during my third trimester with my daughter! I'm sure they would have felt amazing on my sore, swollen pregnancy legs!

They run small. They stay up great and give good compression. They are good quality, way better than the ones the hospital gave me to wear after my surgery.

My measurements yield conflicting sizes. 5’3” with 8.5” ankle 14.5 calf and 23.5-24” thigh. I decided to order an L. The compression feels right at the thigh, acceptable at the calf but very little compression around the ankle. The length is fine. It goes all the way up just 1” below the hip. This is my first time wearing it and so far the top stays up and doesn’t roll down. Comfortable to wear. I might try a medium next time for days when I want a bit more compression.

I have been using products of this sort for nearly fifty years. They do the job magnificently at much lower cost than the technology of the previous century. On a hot day they feel cool under long pants. There is some kind of magic about that sensation. The prompts suggest reducing swelling but of course that is why the product exists.the prompts mention color and pain relief--they look good and prevent recurrence of pain FOR ME. that does not mean it will do so for you--but it should

They are good quality and thick just got them. They are comfortable to wear have in mind they are tight and it's kind of hard to put them on but once you have them on your fine. They definitely do the job i just had radiofrequency closure surgery on my verocose veins in my 2 legs these compression stokings are a big help . Really recommend them

I am not allergic to silicone, but the top lining of the compression stockings caused contact dermatitis. I woke up to two wonderfully inflamed allergic reactions that according to google, is not uncommon for this stocking. I do have a sensitivity to band aids and if anyone can let me know if acrylate and methacrylate was used to adhere the silicone, I'm sure that would be a good alert to put out there.For the stocking itself, it was as advertised. It seemed of nice quality and was fairly tight. I can't say it reduced swelling or pain, unfortunately, due to the circumstance.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This was Amazon's best overall pick for compression stockings, and I needed a pair for a difficult shift the following day, so shipping had to be fast. I was concerned that they would be rolling down my leg during work, but they stayed up! My legs feel so much better after a long shift of being on my feet all day. They are tricky to put on, however, that's normal for compression stockings, I feel it takes patience when putting them on. I'll be getting several pairs of these.Comfort:Very comfortable, they didn't roll down. I still need to wash them to see how they hold up.
