Truform Women Sheer Pantyhose Stockings

To ensure a perfect fit for compression stockings, it’s essential to take accurate measurements. Follow these detailed instructions to determine your correct size:

Step 1: Measure Waist Circumference

1. Locate the Natural Waist: This is the narrowest part of your torso, typically just above the belly button.
2. Measure: Use a flexible measuring tape to wrap around the waist, keeping the tape level and snug but not too tight.
3. Record the Measurement: Write down the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Step 2: Measure Hip Circumference

1. Find the Widest Part of the Hips: This is usually around the fullest part of your buttocks.
2. Measure: Wrap the measuring tape around the widest part of your hips, ensuring the tape is level and snug without compressing.
3. Record the Measurement: Note the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Step 3: Measure Inseam Length

1. Measure from the Crotch to the Floor: While standing with your feet slightly apart, measure from the crotch area down to the floor.
2. Record the Measurement: This measurement helps ensure the pantyhose will fit correctly from the waist to the toes.

Step 4: Measure Thigh Circumference

1. Identify the Widest Part of the Thigh: Typically, this is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) below the gluteal fold (where the buttocks meet the back of the thigh).
2. Measure: Wrap the tape around the widest part of your thigh, keeping it level and snug but not squeezing.
3. Record the Measurement: Write down the measurement in inches or centimeters.

Step 5: Select the Correct Size

• Refer to the Size Chart: Use the size chart below, matching your waist, hip, inseam, and thigh measurements to determine your size.
• Choose Size: Select the size that corresponds to your measurements. If you are between sizes, consider choosing the larger size for better comfort.

Additional Tips:

• Measure in the Morning: For the most accurate results, measure in the morning when your legs are less likely to be swollen.
• Measure on Bare Skin: For precise measurements, measure directly on bare skin rather than over clothing.
• Repeat Measurements: Take each measurement a couple of times to ensure consistency and accuracy.

By following these instructions, you can find the right size of compression stockings to ensure a comfortable, effective fit that provides the necessary support and compression.

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.

1. 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.
