JOBST Relief Thigh High Graduated Compression Stockings 20-30mmHg - Comfortable Unisex Design with Silicone Dot Band - Open Toe, Beige, Large

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.

I'm so happy I bought these! In fact I just ordered a 2nd pair. If you actually measure your legs like they say you should have a nice fit. I am nurse and in my young 30s but started noticing spider veins by my inner knees. Knee highs feel good but leave my knees out. Full stockings well they squish toes and can get hot in your lady parts. These stockings were the perfect in between! I love the open toes I can still wear socks. First day on I LOVED them didn't budge all day. Second day I noticed they were sliding down. There are gel dots on the inside for grip, I used some alcohol wipes and wiped them off and boom back to working. I guess your body oil/dead skin make them less grippy. I have decent size thighs so super tight pants you can see the seam lines on my legs, but my scrubs are all loose enough. I even wore them under yoga pants when flying cross country (even though you could see them) my legs and feet were happy.

These are great! There is a huge difference between these compression stockings and most of the other ones that are currently available on here, as these are actually medical grade and of a much higher quality. I am 5’4” and my leg measurements fall within both the small range and the medium range. I went with the mediums because I was worried about having muffin top at the top of my thighs so wanted a little extra room. I still have a little bit of muffin top, but not as much as I do with the cheap brands. They’re really quite comfortable and I notice a huge difference in how my legs feel when I wear these. I was also really surprised at how much they help with muscle recovery after working out. I also wanted to address some of the issues I saw mentioned in other reviews. I kind of like the faint lines that go up the front because they help me make sure I’m putting them on straight, but I’m also not planning to wear them out anywhere as I work from home and wear them during the day. If you bought a different style that you really liked, then I’d suggest sticking with that style; a different style is going to be…different. And finally, if they are baggy at the ankles and won’t even go up to mid-thigh, you clearly put them on wrong and need to try again.

I ordered both the 20-30 mmHg and the 15-20 mmHg. Both are easy to put on with the 20-30 being a little harder. I would give them a 5 star for compression and well made quality. What I have noticed with both pair are that they tend to slide down after several hours of wear. I made sure I measured and ordered the correct size based on the measurements. My legs feel better when I wear them so will continue to use them just knowing I may have to pull them up throughout the day. I am 5'9 180 lbs. and ordered the Medium.

They are great . Run true to size according to size chart . Little tighter than another brand . Where they are short instead of petite .. I ordered petite . L and I have heavy upper thighs . I could go between L and Xl … they stay up fine . But they work just fine . I just had vein surgery ..

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 .

it is good

Very good quality, I love it.

Does the job although I'm not entirely satisfied cause the stockings are short. I'm 5'7 and the heel portion comes all the way up till my ankle, kid of annoying. Sigvaris are a better bet

JOBST are the real deal - best compression socks - have been using them since 2019 and my swollen ankles, calves and bloated thighs are a thing of the past. Use as described in the instructions and use every day, I promise you will be delighted with the results. The leg pain associated with varicose veins is behind me.
