Truform Unisex Thigh High Stockings

To ensure the perfect fit for your thigh-high compression stockings, it’s important to take accurate measurements of your legs. Follow these step-by-step instructions:

Step 1: Measure Ankle Circumference

1. Locate the Narrowest Part of the Ankle: This is just above the ankle bone.
2. Measure: Wrap a flexible measuring tape around this narrowest point. Ensure the tape is snug but not too tight.
3. Record the Measurement: Write down the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Step 2: Measure Calf Circumference

1. Find the Widest Part of the Calf: This is typically at the center of the calf muscle.
2. Measure: Wrap the measuring tape around the widest point of the calf, keeping it parallel to the floor. Make sure the tape is snug but not squeezing.
3. Record the Measurement: Note the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Step 3: Measure Thigh Circumference

1. Identify the Widest Part of the Thigh: Measure around the upper thigh, approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) below the gluteal fold (where the buttocks meet the back of the thigh).
2. Measure: Wrap the measuring tape around this point, keeping it level and snug without compressing the skin.
3. Record the Measurement: Write down the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Step 4: Measure Leg Length

1. Measure from Floor to Thigh: While standing, measure from the floor up to the point where the top of the stocking will sit (usually about 1 inch below the gluteal fold).
2. Record the Measurement: This measurement will help ensure that the stockings provide the correct level of compression throughout the leg.

Step 5: Select the Correct Size

• Refer to the Truform size chart provided below. Match your ankle, calf, thigh, and leg length measurements to the chart to determine your correct size.
• If your measurements fall between two sizes, it is usually best to choose the larger size for comfort.

Additional Tips:

• Measure in the Morning: Legs tend to be less swollen in the morning, providing a more accurate measurement.
• Measure on Bare Skin: Avoid measuring over clothing for precise results.
• Repeat for Accuracy: Measure each area a couple of times to ensure consistency and accuracy.

Following these steps will help you select the correct size for your thigh-high compression stockings, ensuring optimal comfort, support, and therapeutic benefit.

To maintain the effectiveness and longevity of your compression stockings, it’s essential to follow proper care guidelines. Here’s how to keep your compression stockings in the best condition:

Washing Instructions:

1. Hand Wash Recommended:
   • For optimal care, hand wash your compression stockings in lukewarm water (around 30°C or 86°F) using a mild detergent. Hand washing helps preserve the elasticity and compression level.
2. Machine Wash (Gentle Cycle):
   • If using a washing machine, place the stockings in a mesh laundry bag to protect them. Use a gentle or delicate cycle with cold water. Avoid hot water as it can damage the fabric and reduce compression.
3. Mild Detergents:
   • Use mild, non-bleach detergents that are free from fabric softeners and harsh chemicals. These can break down the elastic fibers and compromise the stockings’ effectiveness.

Drying Instructions:

1. Air Dry Only:
   • Lay your compression stockings flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Avoid hanging them, as this can cause the fabric to stretch. Do not wring or twist the stockings to remove excess water.
2. Avoid Heat:
   • Do not tumble dry, iron, or expose the stockings to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. High temperatures can damage the elastic fibers and reduce the effectiveness of the compression.

Additional Care Tips:

• Rotate Stockings:
  • Consider having at least two pairs of stockings to alternate between wears. This allows each pair to rest and maintain its elasticity.
• Inspect Regularly:
  • Check for signs of wear such as thinning fabric, holes, or reduced elasticity. Replace stockings every 3-6 months or as recommended by your healthcare provider.
• Avoid Lotions and Oils:
  • Avoid applying lotions, creams, or oils to your legs before wearing compression stockings, as these substances can deteriorate the fabric and elastic fibers.
• Store Properly:
  • Store your stockings in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent damage to the fabric.

By following these care instructions, you can ensure that your compression stockings continue to provide effective support and maintain their performance over time.

• 20-30 mmHg Graduated Compression: Provides firm, graduated compression that is strongest at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg. This helps promote healthy blood circulation, reduce swelling, and relieve pain and discomfort.
• Durable, Breathable Material: Made from a blend of high-quality nylon and spandex, these stockings are durable yet breathable. The fabric wicks away moisture, keeping your legs cool and dry while providing all-day comfort.
• Reinforced Heel and Toe: The reinforced heel and toe areas provide added durability and comfort, ensuring the stockings can withstand daily wear and tear.
• Stay-Up Top Band: The comfortable, non-binding top band ensures that the stockings stay securely in place without rolling down, providing consistent support throughout the day.
• Unisex Design: The versatile, unisex design makes these stockings suitable for both men and women, providing a comfortable fit for a wide range of leg shapes and sizes.
• Easy to Wear and Remove: The smooth-knit construction allows for easy application and removal, even for individuals with limited mobility or dexterity.
