Key Features

• Secure Silicone Top Band: Features an inner silicone band that provides a reliable, non-slip grip at the thigh, preventing the stocking from rolling or sliding down during activity.
• Moderate 15-20 mmHg Thigh-Length Compression: Delivers therapeutic graduated pressure from the ankle through the thigh, providing support for veins in the entire lower leg.
• Elegant Opaque Concealment: Offers full, non-sheer coverage that effectively hides spider veins, varicose veins, and skin blemishes on the calves and thighs.
• Reinforced Heel & Toe for Longevity: Built with durability in high-wear areas to ensure the garment maintains its integrity and appearance with daily use.
• Breathable, Moisture-Wicking Fabric: The advanced fabric blend promotes airflow and wicks moisture, keeping legs cool and dry under the opaque material.
• Closed Toe for Foot Protection & Versatility: Provides complete toe coverage, making it suitable for wear with all types of footwear and offering an extra layer of durability.
• 3D Knit Structure for Comfortable Fit: The engineered knit ensures the stocking conforms comfortably to the contours of the leg from ankle to thigh without bunching or constricting.
• Ideal for Varied Outfits: Allows for wear with skirts, dresses, or shorts where a pantyhose waistband is not desired, offering flexibility in wardrobe choice.

Therapeutic Benefits and Use

• Provides Support for Veins Above the Knee: Addresses tired, aching legs and minor varicose veins that extend into the thigh area, which knee-high stockings cannot treat.
• Reduces Minor Swelling in Lower Limb: Helps manage mild edema (swelling) from the foot through the thigh, promoting fluid movement and reduction.
• Promotes Healthy Blood Flow in Entire Leg: Supports the venous system comprehensively, enhancing circulation from the ankle to the groin for overall leg health.
• Alleviates Symptoms of Early-Stage Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI): Can help manage full-leg symptoms of CVI, providing gentle external support to weakened veins.
• Manages Pregnancy-Related Leg Discomfort: Helps reduce swelling and aching in the thighs and calves during pregnancy, with the secure band accommodating changing thigh sizes.
• Post-Sclerotherapy or Vein Procedure Support: Useful after treatments that address veins in the thigh region, helping to control swelling and optimize healing.
• Prevents Stocking Migration: The silicone band is crucial for maintaining the correct position of the stocking, ensuring the graduated pressure gradient remains effective all day.
• Offers a Cooler Alternative to Pantyhose: Provides full-leg coverage without the waistband and crotch panel of pantyhose, which some wearers find more comfortable, especially in warm weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent the silicone band from irritating my skin?
Ensure the band is positioned correctly and lies flat without twisting. You can also apply a skin barrier wipe or lotion (once fully dry) before donning. If irritation persists, a liner or a style with a Sensitive Band may be a better option.

How do I measure for thigh high compression stockings?
Accurate thigh measurement is crucial. You will need ankle, calf, and thigh circumferences, as well as key length measurements. Please follow our detailed thigh high sizing guide.

Will the silicone band leave marks on my skin?
A slight, temporary indentation is normal and should fade quickly after removal. Deep, painful, or persistent marks indicate the size may be too small or the band may be too tight. Proper sizing is essential.

Can I wear these if I have sensitive skin?
If you have known silicone sensitivity or very delicate skin, consider the Opaque Sensitive Band styles, which are specifically designed to be gentler while still providing secure hold.

How do I put on thigh high stockings?
Sit down. Turn the stocking inside out to the heel, place your foot in, and gently pull it over your heel and calf. Stand up and carefully roll or slide the stocking up over your thigh, ensuring the silicone band sits smoothly.

How should I care for stockings with a silicone band?
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid rubbing the silicone band aggressively. Rinse thoroughly and lay flat to air dry, away from direct heat which can degrade the silicone.
