Truform 30-40 mmHg Compression Stockings for Men and Women, Thigh High Length, Dot-Top, Closed Toe, Black, Large

These were recommended by his doctor. They are very hard to get on and the compression is very tight. Husband looked like Dr. Frankinfurter from Rocky Horror Picture Show. We had a good laugh. Great quality, heavy duty. Tight in the knee area. Works for keeping the swelling down.

When I found I had to wear thigh high compression stockings instead of knee highs and also go to a firmer stocking, 30-40mm instead of 20-30mm I was rather apprehensive, but stockings are not as bad as I feared. Not to say that wearing these monsters is fun but they certainly do the job they are designed for. You need to remember they are very high compression but I didn’t find them much more difficult than the knee highs I had been wearing. You do need to take your time and not rush things and 10 minutes per leg is probably a good estimate of how long it takes me to get them on. Once on they certainly do their job and my legs feel so much better. The are very very tight, but the compression feels good throughout the day. I had thought I would need to wear a garter belt to hold them up, but it turns out the silicone dots at the top do a good job and keep them in place. They are made of quite a stiff fabric but they look reasonable and have plenty of room for my toes. All in all I would highly recommend these stocking if you need the very firm compression and will buy them again

Good product. I recommend this to everyone. High quality.

I'm 60. 6'2. About 245. Really long legs. My first experience. I browsed and flagged a few for further review and my wife blindly ordered these really expensive medical grade socks. I was still comparing. I was just shopping. I'll go broke at this rate. YIKES! Ordered in error. They are definitely high quality strong and durable. Hopefully they tolerate sweat.. Here's my situation. My shins look like I played hockey. I thought all the welts and bruises were normal. Every bug that ever bit, left a mark. Including the chigger nest assault.. My ankles were swollen and I had dry patches with wounds that never healed. Every time something brushed my shins, it felt like a knife. Doctor said to wear compression socks. She didn't specify. I ordered the longest strongest available. 30-40 strength over the knees. Ok. These are pantyhose on roids. It took me a few times to put these on. They are a pain in my butt. I highly recommend getting help. Trying to bend over and put these on was a workout. The chance of damage is significant. After 4 installs. 1 has a tiny frey. My swelling is gone. My legs feel cooler yet tolerate freezing weather. Less impact pain. No joint pain. I can pull these almost toy crotch and they stay put, even working hard all day.. Machine wash gentile and hang dry. Sort of a pain. I need these in a discount 12 pack. These seem awefully pricey. Maybe my insurance will cover fully but if not. Ouch.. I dont know if shorter ones would work Just so pricey for me..

Far too tight! So tight that they hurt like hell and leg gets cold from cutting off blood supply. Not safe to wear. Impossible to get on, primarily because they are too tight. I am a 6'3" guy with muscular legs, so maybe if you are a small person with infant sized legs, these may work.

These are as tight and compressive as advertised. It takes 2 of us to get it on my husband’s leg. I’m not sure how elderly people could get it on!

They arrived promptly and fit ok ( tight at the top of the legs). I needed to buy roll-on adhesive to make it stay up all day.

I have bursitis in both ankles and knees right now and I was desperate to find compression stockings that would cover both. These are very pretty, I will give them that however I accurately measured according to the charts provided and these were so hard to get on that I had to have my boyfriend put them on for me. In the process, I thought I was going to pass out from the pain. Just trying to get over my feet and ankles caused so much pain. We did finally get them on, however way, way too tight at the thigh. I do suggest sizing up. I am 5'4 and 132 lb and my thighs are small, so I purchased according to their size chart because I didn't want them to be too loose at the thigh and have them slide down. Wrong decision. These were so tight around my thighs that it was actually somewhat painful. When I removed them, the little grippy dots had made indentations in my thigh that lasted for hours afterwards. Definitely size up.

I liked this product. I use it for relief from leg swelling and pain.

Excellent, they help me a lot. I definitely recommend it to everyone.

Quality material! Happy with the product!

Relief. These help a lot with PAD. And they stay up all day for me.

Thanks to pain in my varicose veins, I had EVLT (Endovenous Laser Treatment or Therapy, depending on which clinic you consult) and was prescribed thigh-high compression stockings of 30-40 mmHg by the vascular surgeon. Originally, I bought 3 pairs of expensive German compression stockings. They are $187 per pair! On a whim, I decided to look on Amazon, after 1 of the pairs developed a run. (Note to 1 reviewer: even the "good-quality" compression socks develop runs after a while!) Bought 2 different pairs of Truform & wondered what the difference(s) were, when they are the same size and colour. This pair, here, have a "stay-up top" that has little silicone "beads" (rounded 2-dimensional disks) that are sewn into the band. They look very much like the beige pair of (expensive!) German stockings I already own. Except these Truform stay up! [The other pair I bought are also Truform, yet they don't have a silicone top & must be worn with Truform's garter belt, which Amazon also sells. These are much better, in my opinion: for $2 more, you don't have to buy an extra accessory just to have stockings that function!] *BUT* the description for this pair is terrible! It doesn't indicate the level of compression (30-40) nor anything about the "beaded stay-up top" that's actually shown on the front of the box. I wear a size Medium, and even though that's what I ordered, the description changed on my order invoice to say it was a size Small! Was worried I'd get the wrong size also. Love these so much I'm ordering another 2 pairs and crossing my fingers I receive 2 Medium pairs as ordered! The description should also give the model number: Model 8848BG, followed by the size's 1st letter: i.e. "S" for small, etc. If you're on the fence regarding the quality for such a low price, don't hesitate: these are really great quality compression stockings/socks!
