Truform Women Sheer Thigh High Stockings

To ensure a proper fit for women’s thigh-high compression stockings, accurate measurements are essential. Follow these steps to get the right size:

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 part. 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: Typically, this is at the center of the calf muscle.
2. Measure: Wrap the measuring tape around the widest part of the calf, making sure the tape is level and 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, 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 this point, ensuring it is 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 ensures the stockings will reach the correct height without being too long or short.

Step 5: Choose the Correct Size

• Refer to the Size Chart: Use the size chart below to find your size based on your ankle, calf, thigh, and leg length measurements.
• Select Size: Match your measurements to the size chart to determine your correct size. If you fall between sizes, consider choosing the larger size for added comfort.

Additional Tips:

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

By following these measurement instructions, you can select the right size of stockings to ensure optimal comfort and effectiveness.

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.
