BriteLeafs Opaque Thigh High Compression Stockings Firm Support 20-30 mmHg, Open Toe, Lace Top, Gradient Compression

I have a pair of compression socks I had prescribed for me, was fitted for, and paid $120 for at a medical supply. I bought these because the others were needing to be replaced...and I feel like these are higher quality!! They stay up better, thanks to the silicon beads, and they do the job perfectly to keep me standing 12 hours a day! SUPER PRICE!! Can't believe it. I'm buying another pair right now!

These compression stocking are really great when it comes to the compression around the ankle and the foot. I am 5'3 and weigh 130 lb so I bought the medium sized ones and wore it for about 14 hours yesterday. As any 12 hr nursing shift, you have to be on your feet. I did not feel any discomfort until 6 hours or so after putting these on; the skin beneath these silicone gel beads (to keep the stockings from falling) felt as it it had gotten a bad sunburn. I pulled the stocking down just to see my skin and it was pink and red with the same pattern of beads as the one on the stocking. After my shift was over I could not withstand the burning pain, I had to pull it down so that the stockings were no longer thigh high but more like above the knee. I did not wear the stockings today, but the marks on the inside of my thighs are still there.UPDATE 2020It's been about 3 years since I started using these compression stockings and I have to say they are life savers. I will seldom have some discomfort with the gel beads. I can only suggest that if they are bothering you maybe try putting some aloe vera gel (preferably cold) on you skin after taking the stockings off to relieve any pain or irritation. I've recommended this product to my workers and they love it too. I prefer it over the knee stockings as they put too much pressure around the knee and may cause small varices to form.

i needed these for a procedure i was having on my leg. I read majority of the reviews and i saw a lot of ppl talking about the rubber band at the top that is supposed to help hold them up irritating the skin bad. I honestly just thought it was ppl maybe being to sensitive or just over exaggerating but let me tell you ...they are not!! I was fine wearing them all day but after sleeping in them when i woke up i could tell if felt funny and when i went to pull it down it felt as though it was burned onto my leg and felt like my skin was peeling off with it. it was all red and left my skin burning like i had a chemical burn! So please stay away from these and listen to everyone else saying them same thing!!! Also i sized off their chart by height and weight and found they were a tad big throughout the leg and didnt offer the best compression .

These fit much tighter than expected. I am 5'2", currently 120lbs and 5 months pregnant. Doctor recommended thigh-high socks, especially as I have a desk job. These are thick but do absolutely nothing against a cool breeze!My biggest complaint (which may be a sizing issue) is that they're so hard to get on and off! I would have liked to try the next size up for comparison. I haven't found a trick for getting them on/off but it sure does require patience, sturdy fingernails, and perhaps help! My next complaint would be that once on, you don't know if they're on right! The only markings I've found are a little tag on the back of the thigh band.Speaking of that thigh band! I've seen other reviews calling it a chemical burn. I think it's less a chemical burn and more a problem of too much skin pressure against the silicone holders. I experienced this issue after sitting for several hours. It felt like my skin was on fire. I rolled the band down and within an hour my skin, though it retained some dots, went back to feeling normal. This all said, if I'm standing with the thigh band on correctly, I'm fine. This is what leads me to think it's more of a pressure issue than chemical.Overall, I like these and would probably buy one size bigger. I love having toe freedom and that these are nice enough for me to wear as "leggings" to work. They also do wonders to stop leg swelling!

After having many blood clots over many years, I’ve grown dependent on having good compression stockings. I’ve had all kinds of brands from doctors and hospitals, even prescription ones. Those always cost so much money and they never last. They stretch, snag, stain, roll down, or fall apart. When I found these, I figured at such a low price it was worth a shot, especially since these were the only open toe thigh high I could find in black. When they arrived, I was shocked at how well made they are! As I was putting them on I had no snagging g from my fingernails and they didn’t stretch our at all. They hold their shape perfectly and give great compression support. I bought my first pair 5 or more years ago, and that same pair still looks brand new and fits perfectly. The silicone beads in the top band keep them from falling which is amazing. No other brand stays up. These will be one of the best investments you ever make!

This is the second pair of thigh high compression stockings I've bought during my pregnancy. Pre-pregnancy I'm 160 lbs and 5'10". I really needed an XL for my height but the largest size available when I ordered were the Large. I'm making them work although they are a tad snug at the top of my thigh and the length at the foot is short so it doesn't go all the way to my toes (about the middle of my foot - size 10 shoe). The other pair I've bought were a lot more expensive and from a different online company and fit a lot better. For the price they aren't bad but I probably would not buy another pair from them because the tightness around my thigh and the weirdness around my foot bother me..

Be careful with the sizing. Go with your regular size. I followed the chart shown and it put me at a large which was too big. I am 5'4 and weigh about 132. I reordered and the medium works well! I have no other complaints about the product. They feel great on and do not slip or dig at the thigh. The quality is holding up to my pulling off and on. I would definitely recommend to others especially because the cost is so much lower than other tights.
