JOBSTRelief 30-40mmHg Compression Stockings Thigh High with Silicone Band, Open Toe, Beige, Large

These are going back! They arrived stained and with writing on them. They are not thigh high and they do not have silicon grippers on them as advertised. The original box was not included. They were thrown into a random “ready for shipping” bag. Now my wife has to use the toe in version because her surgery is tomorrow. The other pair we ordered were wrong also. If you need them for surgery, allow a week at lest to get the right kind!

UPDATE: I replaced a second pair which arrived with a snag on the heel and the third pair also had a small snag but I decided to keep it and be extra careful once again and see what happens. I’ve only been wearing them a short time but I wear them all day, everyday and so far so good. I use a pumice stone on my feet daily to be sure I don’t further snag the heels on rough skin. I also always wear socks over them and launder them in a soft laundry bag on delicate. So far no holes in this pair which is a great improvement to the first pair which received the same care but I think just started off in worse shape with a larger snag in the heel to begin with and some faulty stitching along the top where the silicone band meets the stocking material.These were comfortable but unfortunately got holes very quickly. I measure on the smaller side of a size small and donn them how I learned to as a nurse and am extremely careful to be sure I keep my feet free of callouses and always wear socks over them to protect the bottoms but in less than a few weeks of wear they have two holes and a few snags. I’m returning and will try again because they are very comfortable (until they get holes that is) and help immensely with the pain in my legs from varicose veins during my third trimester of my 5th pregnancy. I’ll probably continue to wear them after the baby is born for a few months and see how I’m doing after that but if I have to buy a new pair every month for the next several months I’m going to have to go for something a little more sturdy. My T.E.D.s lasted years before they got holes but they were much more expensive however worth it if these Jobst continue to get holes so easily. I ordered two new pairs to rotate today and will update to share if those last longer and I just got a bad pair before. One bonus over these compared to other brands is it’s been hot here and I’m not nearly as hot as I would be with some other brands I’ve had in the past.

So! I did not like these at first!!!!! My review was pretty harsh. But after I tried them a couple times😲 they were my go to pair all the time. When I took them off they were still tight at my ankles. Compared to my Sigvaris pairs. These held up the best! That is why I here buying another pair.

I'm using these for severe leg edema related to pregnancy. My husband has to help me put them on, but he has to with the other two brands that I'm using also. If the stockings aren't this tight they don't work. VERY IMPORTANT: YOU NEED GLOVES WITH GOOD GRIP TO PUT COMPRESSION STOCKINGS ON. Like traditional dish gloves. Turn stockings inside out. Then tuck the feet in so the heel part is out. Put on over your foot and heel. Then pull the rest of stocking up. This is where the gloves are very helpful. You will have to pull up the stocking in sections. These work the best for me out of the three brands that I have. The foot part does not roll up on me.

Even though the compression of these thigh highs is higher than my 20-30mmHg thigh highs, these feel A LOT more comfortable! In fact, I don't feel the compression at all! It feels like any other thigh highs. I ordered Small according to my measurements. The material is really thick and it does NOT dig into my skin behind my knees like my other ones with less compression but made out of thinner material! It does keep riding down when I bend & squat (unlike Gabriella silicone top knee highs which stays put), but I still recommend these & planning to order more (I'm only halfway through my pregnancy & experience painful varicose & spider veins). Very high quality.One negative: I wish instead of silicone dots it would be silicone completely around like ITA-Med/Gabriella ones. Those do not move at all!Update: I got prescription Juzo thigh highs in same compression but in size XS (professionally measured) and they do NOT slide down, so I think maybe size small is a bit too large on me (not sure how the sizes compare in the two brands) or maybe the silicone beads do not have as much grip.Update 2: Actually after wearing for a while, I love the Jobst ones better. The beige color is a lot more like my natural skin tone unlike Juzo which is very pale.

I bought these stocking because I ripped through the other brand I had. I was in the process of having bulging veins removed and I needed the compression. These stocking are thick and fairly comfortable but they slide down a bit around my thigh and bunch up on the back of my knee. Pretty uncomfortable when that happens. I stand for most of the day as a teacher so I'm constantly trying to pull them up.

Poor quality stitching. This was my 3rd try at thigh-high compression. I tried Jobst all 3 times. (The first 2 returns involved sizing issues). I ended up buying Trueform knee highs. The Jobst brand doesn't live up to the hype, nor the higher price, IMO. Trueform's fabric seems just as tough, maybe tougher.

This is suppose to be a new item?? Normally something of this nature would have come at least wrapped in plastic. This items has white fuzzy on it too. I would say I would never order from this company again!!!! This item looks used and it put together cheaply. Please see pictures. Also the box was smashed when I removed it from the plastic bag. Pretty nasty if you ask me. Used compression sleeves!! My husband thought they looked used too.
