Key Features

• Full-Leg 15-20 mmHg Graduated Compression: Moderate therapeutic pressure extends from ankle to upper thigh, providing consistent support for veins throughout the entire lower limb.
• Secure Silicone Top Band: Medical-grade silicone strip at the top of the stocking provides a gentle, non-slip hold that stays in place without a garter belt, preventing roll-down.
• Maternity-Optimized Fabric: Soft, opaque yarn blend is designed for comfort against sensitive skin and adapts to the changing body contours of pregnancy.
• Advanced Moisture Management: Wicking fibers pull moisture away from the skin, maintaining comfort during extended wear over a larger surface area.
• Ventilation Technology: Air-permeable zones in the foot and calf enhance breathability, compensating for the increased coverage of a thigh-high style.
• Anatomical Shaping: Contoured design follows the natural curve of the leg and thigh for a better fit and more even pressure distribution.
• Easy Application Design: Despite the longer length, the soft yarns and thoughtful construction facilitate easier donning.
• Elegant Opaque Coverage: Provides full, discreet coverage that conceals while delivering medical-grade support, suitable under dresses and skirts.

Therapeutic Benefits and Use

• Provides Comprehensive Support for Entire Lower Limb: Addresses circulatory issues and discomfort that originate in or extend into the thigh, not just the lower leg.
• Reduces Tired, Aching Legs and Thighs: Supports venous return along the full length of the leg, more effectively alleviating feelings of overall leg heaviness.
• Controls Minor Swelling (Edema) in Calves and Thighs: Graduated pressure helps prevent fluid accumulation in the upper as well as lower leg, a common issue in later pregnancy.
• Promotes Healthy Blood Flow Through Larger Veins: Supports the greater saphenous vein and other major superficial veins that run through the thigh, promoting efficient circulation.
• Manages Varicose Veins and Spider Veins in the Thighs: Provides necessary external support to vein walls in the upper leg, where hormonal changes can also cause visible veins.
• Ideal for Preventing Blood Clots (DVT) During High-Risk Periods: The extended coverage provides more comprehensive circulatory support during periods of prolonged immobility, like bed rest or long-distance travel.
• Offers Superior Support for Active Expectant Mothers: The secure fit and full-leg compression can provide a feeling of muscular support during walking and daily activities.
• Eliminates the Need for a Garter Belt: The effective silicone band provides a secure, comfortable hold without additional accessories, simplifying wear.

Important Medical Notice

Consult your physician before use if you have: arterial disease, severe neuropathy, or skin infections on the thigh. Thigh-high compression with a silicone band requires careful sizing of both calf and thigh measurements for safety and comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure for a maternity thigh-high?
You will need ankle, calf, and thigh circumferences. Measure the thigh at the gluteal fold (the crease where your leg meets your buttocks). Use our measuring guide.

Will the silicone band irritate my skin?
The medical-grade silicone is designed to be hypoallergenic and gentle. Ensure your skin is clean, dry, and free of lotions before application. If you have known silicone allergies, consult your doctor.

Can I wear these all day?
Yes, 15-20 mmHg thigh-highs are designed for all-day wear. The silicone band should feel secure but not tight or painful.

When is a thigh-high necessary vs. a knee-high?
Choose thigh-highs if you have swelling, aching, or visible veins above the knee. If symptoms are confined to your calf and ankle, a knee-high is sufficient.

How do I prevent the top from rolling?
Proper sizing is key. The silicone band is designed to grip gently. Avoid pulling the stocking too high, which can create excess material and cause rolling.

Are thigh-highs harder to put on?
They require a bit more technique. Sit down, gather the stocking like a sock, and carefully work it up your leg, ensuring it's straight and smooth. Donning gloves can be very helpful.
