How to Put on Compression Stockings

• these are medical grade 2 compression so it may be a little difficult to put on
• we recommend setting aside 10-15 minutes and wearing light cotton gloves (this avoids snags by fingernails or jewellery)
• they are true graduated compression which means they are tightest at the ankle and the pressure decreases up the leg
• so the tricky thing is to stretch the ankle part over your heel
• place the stocking over the top part of your foot and then gently ease it over your heel
• once done, make sure it is positioned correctly and then gently ease the stocking up, keeping it smooth and straight
• be careful not to too pull or tug on the stocking as this may cause the fabric to rip
• ensure there are no wrinkles or folds as that may cause additional pressure in that area
• for knee high socks, the top of the band should be two-finger widths below the bend of the knee
• tip: if you put lotion on your legs make sure that it has dried as moisture makes it harder to put on – a little talc or cornstarch will absorb the moisture
• tip: placing a silk scarf over the foot and heel will help it slide on more easily and you can then pull out the scarf. This is particularly effective if you have cracked heels and it also protects the delicate hosiery fabric
