Size Measurements

  • Ankle Measurement:
    • Measure the circumference of the narrowest part of the ankle, just above the ankle bone.
    • This measurement is critical for ensuring effective compression and proper fit. Make sure the tape measure is snug but not too tight.
  • Calf Measurement:
    • Measure the circumference of the widest part of the calf.
    • Keep the tape measure parallel to the floor, ensuring it is snug against the skin without compressing the calf too tightly.
  • Thigh Measurement:
    • Measure the circumference of the fullest part of the thigh, approximately 1 inch below the groin area.
    • Ensure the tape measure is parallel to the floor and snug, but not constricting, to avoid discomfort.
  • Leg Length Measurement: Measure the length from the floor to the bend of the knee while standing up straight.

Care Instructions

  • Daily Washing:
    • Wash the compression stockings daily to remove oils, sweat, and dirt that can break down the fabric over time and affect the compression level.
    • Daily washing also helps restore the elasticity of the stockings, ensuring they continue to provide proper compression.
  • Hand Wash or Machine Wash (Gentle Cycle):
    • Hand Wash: Use lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Gently agitate the stockings in the water, then rinse thoroughly to remove all soap.
    • Machine Wash: Place the stockings in a mesh laundry bag to protect them from damage. Use a gentle cycle with lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
  • Use Mild Detergents:
    • Choose a mild detergent that is free from bleach, fabric softeners, or additives, as these can damage the fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the compression.
  • Avoid Bleach and Fabric Softeners:
    • Do Not Use Bleach: Bleach can weaken the fibers and affect the elasticity and compression level of the stockings.
    • Avoid Fabric Softeners: Fabric softeners can leave a residue that diminishes the elasticity and moisture-wicking properties of the stockings.
  • Air Dry Only:
    • After washing, gently squeeze out excess water without wringing or twisting the stockings.
    • Lay the stockings flat or hang them to air dry away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or tumble dryers, as excessive heat can damage the elastic fibers.
  • Avoid Ironing:
    • Do not iron compression stockings, as the heat can destroy the elasticity and fabric integrity.
  • Rotate Stockings:
    • Consider having at least two pairs of compression stockings to rotate daily. This allows one pair to rest and recover its elasticity while the other is worn.
  • Inspect Regularly for Wear and Tear:
    • Regularly check your stockings for signs of wear and tear, such as thinning fabric, holes, or loss of elasticity. If the stockings are damaged, they may not provide the necessary compression and should be replaced.
