Key Features

• Sensitive Band Technology: Features a specially designed top band with a lower silicone content and a softer knit structure to provide secure hold with minimal risk of skin irritation or redness.
• Firm 20-30 mmHg Thigh-Length Compression: Delivers therapeutic pressure from the ankle through the thigh, providing support for veins in the entire lower limb for conditions like extensive varicosities.
• Elegant Opaque Coverage: Offers the same sophisticated, concealing knit that effectively hides veins and imperfections along the full leg, ensuring a discreet appearance.
• Reinforced Heel & Toe for Durability: Built with reinforcements in high-wear areas to extend the garment's lifespan, which is especially important for longer stockings.
• Moisture-Wicking & Breathable Fabric: Advanced fabric manages moisture and allows for airflow along the entire leg, promoting skin health and comfort under the opaque material.
• Closed Toe for Full Foot Coverage: Provides complete foot encapsulation, offering protection and warmth, suitable for most everyday and professional footwear.

Therapeutic Benefits and Use

• Manages Moderate to Severe Varicose Veins in the Thigh: Provides firm, graduated support along the full length of the leg, addressing varicosities that extend above the knee.
• Reduces Moderate Edema in Lower Limb: The sustained 20-30 mmHg pressure helps control fluid accumulation from the foot through the thigh.
• Promotes Healthy Blood Flow Through Entire Leg: Supports the venous system from ankle to groin, enhancing circulation more comprehensively than knee-highs for certain conditions.
• Supports Management of Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI): Offers firm, full-leg compression to help manage symptoms of advanced CVI, including aching, heaviness, and skin changes.
• Helps Prevent Recurrence of Venous Issues: Provides consistent compression therapy along the entire leg, which can be crucial for preventing the progression or recurrence of venous problems.
• Post-Surgical or Post-Procedure Support: Often recommended after procedures involving the great saphenous vein or other thigh veins to control swelling and promote healing.
• Gentle on Sensitive Skin: The Sensitive Band reduces the likelihood of band-related irritation, making firm compression tolerable for longer periods for those with delicate skin.
• Provides Discreet, Full-Leg Coverage: The opaque fabric allows for effective therapy without the need for separate garments or visible seams, ideal under pants or skirts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Sensitive Band and the SoftFit Band?
The Sensitive Band is designed specifically for delicate skin, with a softer formulation and construction to minimize irritation. The SoftFit Band offers standard secure comfort. Choose Sensitive if you have a history of redness, itching, or marks from other compression bands.

How do I measure for a thigh high compression stocking?
Precise measurement is critical. You will need ankle, calf, and thigh circumference measurements, as well as key length measurements. Please follow our detailed thigh high sizing guide carefully.

Why choose a thigh high over a knee high?
Thigh highs are necessary when varicose veins or swelling extends above the knee, or when your physician recommends full-leg compression for your specific condition. They provide therapeutic support to the entire lower limb.

Will the Sensitive Band stay up as well as a standard band?
Yes. It is engineered to provide a secure, non-slip hold. The security comes from a different distribution of grip and a gentle knit structure, not from high silicone content, making it effective yet kinder to skin.

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

How do I care for my Sensitive Band stockings?
Hand wash in cool water with a mild, fragrance-free detergent. Rinse thoroughly and lay flat to air dry. Avoid all fabric softeners, bleach, and heat, which can degrade the band's special properties and the compression fibers.
