Frequently Asked Questions

What symptoms indicate I might need 20-30 mmHg instead of 15-20 mmHg?
Consider firm compression if you experience moderate to severe swelling that doesn't resolve overnight, larger, symptomatic varicose veins, a persistent heavy, aching feeling, or if you have been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency. A doctor can best advise you.

How do I put on firm 20-30 mmHg stockings?
Donning can be more challenging. Turn the stocking inside out to the heel, place your foot, and gently roll/pull it up your leg. Donning gloves are highly recommended for better grip. Apply in the morning when swelling is minimal.

Are firm compression stockings uncomfortable?
They should feel supportive and snug, not painful. Proper sizing is critical. The initial sensation of firm pressure is normal and should become comfortable within 20-30 minutes as your body adjusts. Persistent pain indicates an incorrect size or fit.

Can I wear these during exercise?
Yes, many people wear firm compression during physical activity. It can enhance circulation and muscle support. Ensure they are the correct size and that your activity doesn't cause excessive friction or moisture buildup.

How long do firm compression stockings last with daily wear?
With proper care (hand washing, air drying), they typically maintain therapeutic efficacy for 3-6 months. Replace them when they lose elasticity, become easier to put on, or no longer feel as supportive.

What's the difference between Opaque and other JOBST firm stockings?
The primary difference is the opaque, concealing fabric. Therapeutically, the compression level is identical to other JOBST 20-30 mmHg stockings. Choose Opaque for discretion and a hosiery-like appearance.
