Disappointed in the Jobst Ultrasheer
"The color is truly ugly, the stockings not as sheet as they used to be. On the plus side the fit and compression is good. But unless Jobst expands its color selection, I don't think I will be buying them again."

What is the difference between 20-30 mmHg and 30-40 mmHg compression?
30-40 mmHg is considered extra-firm (Class 3) compression, prescribed for more severe conditions like advanced CVI, severe edema, post-thrombotic syndrome, or venous ulcer management, whereas 20-30 mmHg is firm compression for moderate conditions.
How do I choose the right size for knee high compression stockings?
Accurate measurement is crucial for effective compression and safety. Please refer to our detailed compression stocking sizing guide and consult your fitter or physician.
Who should wear 30-40 mmHg compression stockings?
This extra-firm level is for severe conditions like advanced CVI, severe edema, post-thrombotic syndrome, or venous ulcer management. It requires a physician's prescription. For general guidance, see our compression levels guide.
Are donning aids necessary for this compression level?
Yes, due to the high compression, donning aids (gloves, frames, or slides) are highly recommended to make application easier, preserve the garment, and ensure proper fit.
Can I wear these if I have diabetes?
Only under strict medical supervision. Your physician must assess arterial health (ABPI) and sensation before prescribing high compression for diabetic patients.
How often should extra-firm compression stockings be replaced?
With proper care, they typically last 3-6 months with daily wear. Replace immediately if you notice a significant loss of compression, runs, or holes.
