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

I've been suffering months from leg pain, located from my knee, down to my feet. I noticed that my varicose veins, had really popped out recently. While I've been waiting for my Dr's appt, I decided to get this pair of compression socks. I swear, 100%, as soon as I put one on my painful leg, the pain was gone! So, I wear one on my "sore" leg, washing the dirty one & wearing the other one, until I see what my Dr tells me. Go by the chart & get your size. They are very tight, which they're supposed to be. The top has a slightly wide band, with rubbery dots, which helps to keep them from rolling or sliding down my thigh

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.

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 wasn't expecting much from these, but they're atually some of the best fitting compression stockings I've tried out of 5-6 brands 😅 I have very wide feet, fairly normal ankles, thick calves, and apparently not quite as proportionally large thighs as I once thought, so it's been difficult to find something that works for me. The sizing on these is a bit more friendly to me than many others- ankle and calf size actually fall within the parameters for a single size, and I dont have to debate sizing up to fit my calves. I bought a medium for 9 inch ankles+14 inch calves, and they fit well.The materials are okay. Perhaps better than I expected. There was the smallest hint of a run when I received my pair, but nothing has come of it. I've worn the same pair at least a dozen times now, and washed them in a delicates bag in the washer in cold water, and they're fine. Perhaps a bit looser than when I first got them, but I imagine that's somewhat normal.I don't have a whole lot of experience with compression stockings, as I only started wearing them recently, so I can't say if these are really 20-30mmHg or not. But they are fairly comparable to another brand that a long-time user of compression stockings recommended to me, so I'd say they're close enough. And they've helped with what I needed them for, which was initially leg weakness and is now circulation (issues caused by dysautonomia).I've ordered a different pair from the other brand, and we will see how they work. I may stick to the other brand if I'm pleased with them, but if I'm not. I imagine I might end up buying another pair of these. The ones I have will remain in the compression stocking rotation either way. :' )

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

I love these! My legs still feel great after a few hours of standing and walking, I usually have intense leg pain nearly all day. They're so comfortable that I actually can't wait to put them on in the morning. Most pairs I dread and are extremely uncomfortable. They don't budge. I put mine on at 6am and take them off at bed time and they don't roll down even an inch.

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?:These medium level compression stockings are the best I could find in their price range. That they actually fit the size range indicated on the package was a plus. They’re too long, but us short people are used to that. The texture is a bit coarse.
