Jobst Donning Gloves for Compression Stockings

These gloves are great ! I have neck and shoulder pain, and I got these yesterday , and tried them out, and I was amazed at how easy it made getting thigh high support hose on. Don't let the low price fool you, these are quality gloves that will hold up for years. I may buy more just to use on other things since they have such good grip. They don't snag on the hose. These will definitely prolong the life of the hose which is great , because they can be a bit pricey. I highly recommend.

Makes putting on and pulling up compression stocking much easier.

Gloves expensive but good quality and work excellent.

My husband has to wear compression socks and putting them on was difficult for both of us. Research on the net told us that donning gloves would help so we ordered the Jobst gloves. They are a reasonable price and they do work well because the rubbery nubs on the palms help to grip the stockings and slide them over the heel and up the leg. However, please note that size does matter. I'm a female with small hands and these Medium size gloves are quite large on me, which made them slip around on my hand and feel too bulky. I realized that I had a pair of inexpensive gardening gloves in my size that had the same nubby palms. I threw them in the washing machine and voila! I had donning gloves in my size. The price we paid for the Jobst gloves wasn't bad, but if you see a pair of latex dipped gardening gloves for a couple of dollars less, they will probably work. Just be sure the texture on the palm has nothing sharp to catch on the stockings. Using these gloves definitely makes putting on compression socks or stockings much faster and easier.

These work fine but my wife thinks her regular kitchen gloves work just as well. If you don't regularly have plastic/rubber gloves for kitchen work, then these should be on your shopping list. From a few weeks of use, these gloves appear to be slightly better than kitchen gloves when it comes to getting caught in handling compression stockings.

I wear thigh high compression stockings which are not the easiest to get on. These gloves by Jobst really assist in putting on the compression stockings. They last longer than the ones I used to get from the same place I order my compression stockings from. I have ordered several more pair to use when I travel.

I am wearing the waist high compression hose after having work done on my legs. Putting them on in the morning and taking them off at night is a workout where I usually break out in a sweat. I just about can't do it with my bare hands. My doctor's office used gloves, just plain thin latex exam gloves that you buy a box of from the drug store to have on hand if you don't want to get blood or whatever on your hands. The office gave me a pair, but I also had some at home. You wouldn't think they would work. They definitely worked better than my bare hands. So I ordered the Jobst Donning Gloves because of the great reviews thinking gloves made especially for putting on these nightmare stockings would make the job even easier. Sorry, it did not happen. They are just too bulky. Each time I tried, I had to give up and resort to using the latex gloves. The latex gloves may tear frequently, but buy a box and it won't matter. The drug store will have a box of 100 for less than $10. I will probably use the sturdy Jobst gloves for gardening.

I have 2 pair so they are handy throughout the house. My Jobsts positions my support knee, and thigh high plus my support pantyhose. Never snags anything, firmly, but gently allows me to reposition the items. I have a pair of Truform Leg Health that are well made, but they are too smooth and don't grip nearly as well.

Couldn't use these gloves!
