JOBST Relief 20-30 mmHg Thigh High Compression Stockings with Silicone Band, Open Toe

I did not purchase these compression stockings for deep vein thrombosis, rather I purchased them for leg cramps that have been plaguing me for the last 3-4 months. I'm pregnant and it seems like no matter what I do to prevent the leg cramps, I still get them. They were worst in the first trimester then went away for a couple weeks... now in the second trimester they're coming back and I didn't want to suffer through them or use hot baths or a heating pad for temporary relief. I wanted something I could put on and leave on while I sleep to assure that my legs don't ache throughout the night. I had tried an ace bandage in the first trimester for the worst of it and found that compression worked really well. I had spoken with my OB about compression stockings and she said they were a good idea - so I finally broke down this month and bought these. I wanted something that will last awhile (I still have five months to go after all!) and offer the tight compression that I need to relieve the cramps. I had considered purchasing the next step up in compression but am glad that I chose these instead. Upon opening the box and pulling out the stockings, my first thought was: Are these really thigh-highs? Don't worry if they look a little short because they stretch as you put them on. Based on my measurements I could have purchased a medium, but after reading a review where someone had said they ordered the next size up instead to assure they stretched all the way to right bellow the butt, I decided that this was probably a good choice as well (the leg cramps do go throughout my legs all the way to my hips - I would have purchased one that would come up over my hips but I didn't think compression on my abdomen would be comfortable, especially through the third trimester). I measured again and checked the sizing for large and found that this should still fit and I'm really glad I chose the large. The compression on these is really tight! As they should be! A large was rather easy to put on (though more difficult than your typical thigh-high sock or tights - simply because they need to be tight to offer the compression). I love that the space around the heel is looser than the rest of the fabric, so you don't have uncomfortable compression on a spot with no give. There is also enough space in the footing that it does not compress my feet (which is good for me since I don't need compression here), but the stockings do come all the way down to the start of my toes (and almost to the knuckle on my littlest toe). Thus far I have not had any problems with rolling (this may be part of the benefit of having bought the next size up), and these are not uncomfortably tight on my thighs (in fact they have an appropriate amount of space in the thighs for me (I would not say I have overly small nor overly large thighs). The area with the anti-slip silicone bumps is quite wide (about an inch and a half or so), and I expect it to hold quite well. I have only been wearing these for about an hour and intend on wearing them throughout sleep so that will be the ultimate test (as I tend to toss and turn quite a bit). The material is also appropriately thick and as per my experience with this type of fabric and other compression garments, I expect it to last quite awhile before the compression loosens or the fabric tears. I'll be sure to edit this to note if or when either of these things occur... but honestly, as long as they last through my pregnancy, I'll be a happy camper (and I don't think they'll have any problem with that). I am so incredibly satisfied and look forward to the next five months without the horrible leg cramps.

Iam grateful for these stockings! I was able to get this pair & another for the price of one spendy pair. Since these are not covered under insurance and I must wear these everyday, getting a few pairs I can rotate through is essential! Fit true to size; make sure you measure yourself properly. They stay up as well. Great for wearing sandals like Chacos that isolated your toe! HSA eligible too! Very happy with them! Thank you!

The closed toe fits a little higher on the thigh than the open toe. However, for the purpose of athletics or sports the open toe allows for better grip with sock and shoe than the closed toe. Closed toe can be a little slippery with running or cutting motions. I've purchased both open and closed toe.

Fabricarlas con tela más delgada y con algo de brillo suave

Wash’s well. Wears good and comfortable. I work in healthcare so I feel like it helps make my legs feel good for being on my feet the entire shift.

Algunas marcas traen una medias que se usan para facilitar el calzado de las mismas

I like it a lot. For decades I used Mediven, but found that Jobst is seriously better.

Maybe I ordered the wrong mmHG but these was TIGHT on me. I had a hard time to put them on. Eventually I had noticed that the top of my thighs were spilling out. I send a picture to my home health care nurse and she said to take them off. I had to cut them off. Left a lot of angry marks on my legs. These did stay in place, tho but too tight

Excelentes medias de compresión, la calidad Jobst nunca defrauda. No se bajan, se tiene la compresión sin agobiar y suficiente para las horas de trabajo. Solo hay que cuidarlas, lavar a mano con jabón neutro y secar con toalla, sin exprimir. Elegí talla grande peso 60 kg y mido 1.65 me quedaron muy bien.

Horrible product, it keep rolling down my legs almost till my knees. I ordered XL and this happened then I went a size down to L and it still rolls down, worse part is that I have to pay for return as this is not sold by Amazon and the Canadian seller doesn't provide a shipping label. When this were imported by Amazon from a USA seller the quality was better .

Muy buena calidad y mas baratas, oportunidad en la entrega, fácil de comprar

Las medias esta bien. Faltaría ver que tanto tiempo duran, pero por ahora tienen buena tensión, el color descrito y tamaño correcto. Solo que son un poco delgadas

Muy buenas excelente calidad con sus cuidados duran muchísimo!
