Frequently Asked Questions

What are Second Skin Sheer knee highs?

Second Skin Sheer is our competitively priced compression range. This style is a women's knee high knit in a fashionable sheer knit that wears like everyday hosiery rather than a medical garment, finished with a soft, non-constricting stay-up top, delivering 15-20 mmHg moderate graduated compression. Browse the full Second Skin range.

What does 15-20 mmHg mean, and what does it help with?

The numbers are the pressure at the ankle in millimetres of mercury, decreasing along the limb. 15-20 mmHg is the moderate class, indicated for early varicose veins, varicose change during pregnancy, legs that ache by evening, mild puffiness in the ankle, leg or foot. Our compression therapy guide explains each level.

Do these come in plus or wide-calf sizes?

Yes. This style runs from Small to 3X-Large. Plus sizes are graded on calf circumference rather than clothing size, so measure your ankle and calf first thing in the morning before swelling builds and match those numbers to the chart on this page. Our measuring guide walks through each measurement.

How do I put these on and take them off?

Turn the garment inside out to the heel, work the foot in first, then roll it up the limb in stages rather than pulling from the top, which stretches the band. Rubber gloves or a donning aid make it easier. Full instructions are in our guide to putting on compression stockings.

How do I care for them?

Wash after each wear in cool or lukewarm water with a gentle solution — never fabric softener or bleach — and air dry away from direct heat. Most people rotate two pairs so a clean, dry pair is always ready. Full instructions and washing solutions are in our care guide.
