Important Medical Notice

Consult your physician before use if you have: arterial disease, severe peripheral neuropathy, massive edema from congestive heart failure, or a known allergy to any material in the garment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Sensitive Band differ from a standard silicone band?
The Sensitive Band uses a specialized formulation and knit that reduces direct silicone contact and pressure points. It's designed to provide security through textile engineering and a gentler grip, rather than high silicone adhesion, making it ideal for delicate skin.

Will the Sensitive Band stay up as well as a regular band?
Yes, it is engineered to provide a secure, non-slip hold suitable for moderate compression. The security is achieved differently, but it is effective for daily wear and typical activity levels when sized correctly.

How do I measure for a thigh high with a Sensitive Band?
Precise measurement ensures comfort and effectiveness. Follow our detailed thigh high sizing guide carefully. An incorrect thigh measurement is the main cause of poor fit.

Can men wear these thigh high stockings?
This product is designed and sized for women. Men requiring moderate thigh high compression should explore styles in our Men's Thigh Highs collection.

What if I still experience irritation with the Sensitive Band?
Ensure the band is lying perfectly flat and not twisted. You can try a skin barrier wipe. If irritation persists, consult your doctor. A garter belt may be an alternative securing method.

How do I care for stockings with a Sensitive Band?
Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild, fragrance-free detergent. Avoid rubbing the band aggressively. Rinse thoroughly and lay flat to air dry away from heat.
