Beister Medical Thigh High Footless Compression Stockings with Silicone Band for Women & Men, Firm 20-30 mmHg Graduated Support for Varicose Veins, Edema, Flight （A Pair）

I checked my measurements and followed advice if between sizes to go up a size.So I ordered the XL although this seemed too big I can see from other comments they are an odd fit and especially tight on the thighs which for my measurements usually 2 sizes above my calf.They were huge, I have an inside leg of around 33" and they went from ankle up to crotch and could still have turn ups on the ankle! not the 51.5cm (well under) suggested when looking at the diagram of where to measure your thigh.They offered me no compression (I took off a pair of athletic compression leggings with a lower rating to try them on and could barely notice them doing anything when they should have felt stronger) they were very loose on my ankle and thigh would definitely have slipped down after some wear.Ankle is 19cmCalf 33 cmThigh 52cm based on where the XL come to. Based on the description of where to measure it is actually my knee 😂 so if I measure from ankle to the 49-50cm depending if I try M or L next it is 34cm if I ignore the advice of where to measure to and take it based on diagram and where stockings usually sit it's 48cmHad I not seen the advice to go up a size if in between I would have ordered L which maybe be okay but the XL was that big I might for go for M nextI would suggest if you are tall and slim then may not need to go up a size. It's very difficult to work out what body shape these are designed for as thigh ratio to rest of them appears like it would be too tight for many.I wear XS skins compression tights and Zone3 ST are a bit loose and not quite long enough in the thigh if that helps you have an idea of fit.Hopefully I will have more luck with a smaller size without it feeling like they will cut my thigh in 2 :)I have returned, they seemed like okay quality etc but I can't comment on wear, comfort etc

The quality is good...but not packaged properly just the bag straight...instructions is on the pouch but the delivery sticker was on the medical instructions by the time you remove it it's gone..would prefer medical instructions (how long and when to use medically properly) on a piece of paper inside and packaged properly.

Suffering from a number of minor health conditions. This is helping glad I bought it.

One stayed up one didn't but only needed one which done job needed to do

I'm a bloke, and I have strong clumsy hands (those of an early forties tradesman). I have to wear a stocking due to extensive (and some rough) surgery I've endured on one of my legs.I'm not that keen on wearing what feels like a laides tight so these things are a bone of contention fro me to wrestle with each morning when dressing. I'm from the era where we don't identify as anything other than what we are, but nonetheless it gets boring when other blokes ask why I have a single tight on when I'm wearing shorts. I usually say our lass has the other one on, but I enjoy how it feels against my skin so I stole one before I left for work :-DAnyway, the fitment is almsot spot-on, my constructive criticism is that they are too long/high, and the band at the top is significantly tighter than the thigh area of the tight. With this in mind it's possible that for me this band is actually preventing my lymph action and retaining fluid in my thigh.If I pull a stocking over a wet foot straight from the shower, it's almost a certainty that I'll rip it with my grip and then I say naughty words in frustration. These tights however seem immune to my impatience and disappointment of having to wear one.The texture is nice and soft/rubbery and the thickness/gauge is also decent.One thing that others can agree on is how irritating it is to end up with a saggy fold of tight behind the knee :-IThese seem to stay up long enough that I only make several corrections throughout the day and not one every time I get up from a chair like I have to with other brands.To combat the excess length/height, I fold most of the tight back down over my thigh and have double-thickness there. This also helps with the over-tight elastic band at the top.I'd like to see the seller either take requests for different heights, or offer the same graduated compression but in one that's significantly shorter. Also as mentioned the silicone band at the top is far much tighter than it needs to be and may actually hinder efficacy.3/5 as it's just too long.

Didnt like these at all, kept sliding down.

I am 5'8" with long slim legs. I have had varicose views removed twice surgically. The pescribed stocking crush my feet and finish 3 inch below my knee and a larger size would not provide the same compression.So I bought these, omg , game changer. Comfy, stay up, wash and wear really well and most of all they fit. I am so happy for the first time in all these years to finally be able to wear compression hosiery that is comfortable. Thank you to the company.

Firm and resistant, great to pregnant.
