• Supportive Abdominal Design: Incorporates firmer, medical-grade support in the lower abdomen to help counteract the increased intra-abdominal pressure of pregnancy.
• Soft Touch Opaque Fabric with Concealing Properties: Provides full, elegant coverage that effectively hides pronounced varicose veins and blemishes while feeling comfortable against the skin.
• Advanced Moisture-Wicking Throughout: Engineered yarns manage perspiration across the larger garment area, maintaining dryness and comfort during extended firm compression wear.
• Strategic Ventilation for Full-Body Wear: Breathable zones are integrated into key areas to prevent overheating under the substantial coverage of firm pantyhose.
• Reinforced Heel and Toe for Durability: High-wear areas are fortified to withstand the rigors of daily donning and doffing of a firm, full-body garment.
• Seamless Toe Construction: Prevents irritation and allows for comfortable wear with all footwear, important for a garment designed for all-day use.

Therapeutic Benefits and Use

• Manages Moderate Varicose Veins and Edema Comprehensively: Provides the firm external pressure needed to support weakened venous walls and control fluid buildup throughout the legs and pelvic region.
• Controls Persistent Swelling (Edema) in the Entire Lower Body: Effective graduated compression helps prevent significant fluid accumulation from the feet up through the thighs.
• Promotes Healthy Blood Flow Against Significant Venous Pressure: Supports the venous system against the substantial pressure exerted by the gravid uterus, aiding return from deep pelvic and leg veins.
• Addresses Symptoms of Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI): The firm, continuous compression is often necessary to adequately manage advanced symptoms like severe leg heaviness, pain, and skin changes.
• Provides Essential Abdominal and Pelvic Support: Can help reduce feelings of pelvic congestion, lower back pressure, and abdominal heaviness associated with later pregnancy stages.
• Ideal for Post-Sclerotherapy or Venous Ulcer Management: Delivers the consistent, firm compression required for optimal healing following procedures or during active ulcer treatment.
• Offers Superior Prophylaxis Against Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Provides the most comprehensive circulatory support available in a stocking, crucial for high-risk pregnancies with mandated bed rest.
• Eliminates Fit Issues with Separate Garments: Ensures no gaps in therapeutic pressure, providing a streamlined, effective alternative to thigh-highs with waist attachments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are firm maternity pantyhose difficult to put on?
Yes, donning firm pantyhose requires time and technique. Use donning gloves, sit down, and carefully gather and work the garment up your legs. Allow extra time.

How do I care for such a large compression garment?
Hand wash only in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Gently squeeze out water—never wring. Lay flat on a towel to dry, away from direct heat and sunlight.

Can I wear these if I have a C-section scheduled?
Discuss with your obstetrician. They are often recommended post-surgery for DVT prevention, but you will need specific post-operative size and wear instructions.

Is the abdominal pressure safe for the baby?
Yes, the panel provides gentle, distributed support, not concentrated pressure. It is designed to support your abdomen, not compress the uterus. Always follow your doctor's advice.

What if I'm between sizes?
Always choose the larger size for maternity wear to ensure comfort and safety. Compression should be therapeutic, not restrictive. Consult the JOBST fit guide or a certified fitter.

How long does a pair last with daily wear?
With impeccable care, expect 2-3 months of optimal therapeutic compression from a single pair worn daily. Rotating two pairs is strongly advised.
