Truform 20-30 Mmhg Compression Stockings for Men & Women, Thigh High Length, Dot Top, Closed Toe, Beige, Medium

Exactly what the PT wanted me to wear. They are the real deal at an affordable price. Wash on hand-wash cycle, ( that works for me) then air dry. Made a difference by reducing swelling in my knee. I will admit that on a 94 degree day I melted, however any kind of stocking does that to me. Comfortable and does stay in place, no slipping or rash. Measurements were followed for a perfect fit. I order the black, received a deep black. Very happy with color, even after washing.

It took me a long time to commit to and buy these and I am so glad I did! I have POTS with connective tissue hyper-mobility. I must have looked at 50 pairs of compression gear from maternity (not pregnant but shaped weird) to chaps style trying to figure out what would help me feel better but NOT hurt me in other ways.Because these (20-30mmhg coffee brown thigh high high) were on sale for less than my teenager spends on videos games each month, I decided to give them a try and I couldn't be happier! I posted a picture so you can see that they are almost opaque except towards the top where you can see my tattoo through them.So the compression felt accurate for 20-30hhmg compared to other compression items I have. Because I have experiencing putting these on I had no trouble, just use the same inside out toe first approach. For people who have not had them before there was a nice instruction card inside because they can be challenging.The gradient feels accurate so they don't pinch or cut in anywhere and are smooth from ankle to crotch. I was worried that might not go high enough because I wanted something to go as high as possible since my Dr. suggested I wear things up to my waist but these actually go as far up as my legs do.The tops are not too tight and have dots of silicon to help with grip - so far I have not had them come down at all and I have done weeding in my garden, cleared brambles, and played with the dog so was really impressed they didn't slip down at all.For size idea - I ordered a small and they fit perfect based on the measurements. I am 5'7" with a 28" inseams and I weigh 174 but carry most of that in my mid-section so my ankles are 7.5". For the price you can't beat these and they feel like they will last a long while as long as washed and cared for correctly.

*PROS:a. The color was perfect. Blended well with my skin tone. It didn't look too obvious as compression stockings. I can wear this product still wearing sandals (as you can see) and still look OK.b. Compared to my co-pay for a well-known name brand thigh-high ones, much cheaper to buy and try.c. If you are petite & thin, it will fit still but expect it to be a bit long. FYI: I am 5' 3", 95 lb. Leg measurements/circumference: ankle 7.5", mid-calf 12.5", mid thigh 16.5". Top of thigh-high compression stockings come up to about 1" below groin area.d. The silicon dots are helpful. They left pretty good marks at the end of 11 hour wear but the dots on my skin disappeared without any problem once I took off the stockings. => See UPDATE below for rashes.*CONS:a. The toe area is a bit loose. The heel area has creases. Both areas could have been better if they have more compression or something. The toe & heel areas are not so obvious when I wore these sandals. I am unsure what it will look alike if I wear dress shoes/heels.b. Due to the loose toe & heel areas, I may change my mind about ordering black color to wear with dark skirts.c. At the 11 hour wear, I noticed one snag...It probably is my fault but with other name brand I was using, I didn't have snag even after multiple use and wash.d. I am wondering if the 20-30mmHg compression is correct number. I noticed my superficial varicose veins on the left (my right leg doesn't have varicose veins as bad as the left one) are still showing on this 20-30 mmHg compression. When I wear 20-30 mmHg by other brand, my prominent varicose vein doesn't show.*CONCLUSION: I wanted to give 3.5 star but no option for that. I like this product and the relief of achy legs. Perhaps when they modify the toe & heel areas, I will consider buying black color as well :-)***UPDATE: I noticed mild itchiness and rashes the next day over the skin where silicon was pressing on. I used topical steroid cream which helped. When the rashes began to fade away, I wanted to give it a try again. During the second time wearing, I readjusted silicon band on my thigh one time middle of the day, so my skin would be less irritated. At the end of the day, I began to have itchy, then the next day, the rashes appears with vengeance, more reactive rashes! Too bad. Those with sensitive skin, be aware. I really like to wear this product but I can't :-/

My favorite of all the compression socks I've purchased and I've bought A LOT. The material is perfect as is the compression. They're easy to put on and take off. The price is great for socks like these. My circulation is so much better while wearing these. I waited to write this until I washed them a few times, they did not disappoint.

I hardly ever write reviews but this is one of those exceptions. I just oredered 4 more pairs of these. After a couple of years shopping on Amazon for compression stockings, I think I found the best ones so far! I usuaI have bought a few other brands and this brand is the the best quality. The toe area is wide and so wiggle toe comfy which is a huge deal since I have an ingrown toenail and therefore I don't need to buy the open toe ones now until summertime! They stay in place better then other brands so I'm not having to hike them back up. I really wish they sold petite lengths!! I have short legs (I'm 5'3") and even if I pull them up almost to my crotch they still will bunch around the knees. So far they haven't gotten loose over time but I've had them only for a few months so I'm curious how long they'll hold out since I have to wear compression stockings practically day in and day out
