Has anyone encountered something similar and come up with something?
I have them slipping too, I don’t wear them anymore
Polina, I’ll need them more during childbirth
As an orthopedic specialist who sells compression hosiery every day, I will say that they were not selected for you correctly, either the manufacturer leaves much to be desired, or you have non-standard measurements and size chart You simply don’t get this company; unfortunately, there is no point in wearing knitwear that slips, since the compression distribution is incorrect. Ideally, you still need to choose the perfect product for you.
LisaSausage, thank you very much! We'll keep thinking.
I have the same thing, it’s normal up to the knees, but they curl at the top. I don’t really understand if they make sense. And I simply can’t find another size. The bottom is a size 4, the top is a 6, I bought a medium size 5, if I had taken a 6, the bottom would feel like the gaiters would be loose. I’ll take it to the RD, but I don’t think I’ll wear it.
Oksana Kolmakova, I’m thinking about inserting a wide elastic band at the very top so that it doesn’t fall off, but not a tight one. Or maybe attach a silicone tape like in stockings. I just wonder if they will fulfill their function.
OH! I remembered: I’m giving birth, the labor is rapid, and I’m adjusting my stockings! damn... they were twisting around me.
Marifka Smetashka, do you know if it can be attached somehow?

Compression stockings fall off
For example, I have a European bottom size of 36-38, which corresponds to size. M, and I wear Sigvaris tights S, as they were chosen in the store based on measurements.
It’s better not to risk buying on your own, ask a consultant.
Plus, it’s very hot to walk around the house in them! And if I get hot, my blood pressure immediately rises.
After all, doctors are on the safe side. Not many people can afford to stay at home. namely sit or lie down and not do household chores.
I’m very, very happy, during my entire pregnancy I didn’t know what swelling and varicose veins were
Yes, and I don’t wash them every day, I put them on as soon as I wake up, while still lying in bed. Shower and cream in the evening, tights in the morning.
Compression stockings fall off
In this article we will tell you why compression stockings fall down and answer the question of how to secure a compression stocking so that it does not slip down.
How do compression stockings work?
Compression or medical stockings "Intex" are elastic stockings made of lycra and polyamide, which are attached to the thigh using an openwork elastic band with a silicone coating.
Therapeutic compression stockings create distributed pressure on the legs: 100% in the ankle area, 70% in the middle of the calf, 50% in the knee area and 40% in the middle of the thigh.
Distributed pressure is set by tensioning the gimp thread during knitting of the product. As a result, compression stockings acquire a pronounced silhouette: a narrow ankle, a flared upper third of the lower leg and a wide thigh.
Compression stockings– not decorative knitwear. For compression therapy to be beneficial, you need to learn how to wear therapeutic stockings. In this section, we have collected tips that will help you “cope” with compression products.
What to do if compression stockings fall off?
Properly selected Intex compression stockings follow the shape of the leg, so they cannot fall off. If medical stockings fall down, the size is chosen incorrectly. In order for compression therapy to be beneficial, new products will have to be selected.
Before purchasing new stockings, take individual measurements of your legs and compare them with the compression product selection chart. Your measurements should fit within the seven intervals indicated for each size.
What should I do if the elastic band on my compression stockings gets twisted and causes the compression stockings to slip down?
Intex compression stockings are held on the leg using an openwork elastic band with a silicone insert. Silicone adheres well to the skin and prevents the stockings from sliding down.
When the silicone becomes covered with sweat and sebum, the elastic loses its “stickiness” and curls when walking. To restore the properties of the gum, wipe it with an alcohol solution. After this, the silicone will again hold the stocking on the leg.
Silicone rubber bands are sensitive to detergents. Wash stockings in soapy water. To avoid damaging the coating, do not use bleaches, stain removers or aggressive powders.
What to do if compression stockings roll down on your leg?
If you pull on the stockings when there is severe swelling, the silicone elastic will not be able to hold the compression stockings on your legs, and the product will slip off. Wear stockings in the morning when swelling is minimal.
If it is not possible to put on stockings immediately after waking up, lie in bed and elevate your legs on pillows for 7-10 minutes. This will help reduce swelling and allow you to put on stockings.

Compression stockings. are sliding😡
Give a review about the crib :)

The best ones are tonus elast, better take tights. But they also cost 3 times more. But don't throw it away.
Firstly, these are hospital stockings and these stockings are only needed for surgery or any other medical intervention (childbirth also counts). Secondly, you need to correctly measure your legs from hip to ankle and then choose the right size and they will not “fall off”!
Have you measured yourself correctly? I remember in the maternity hospital I measured myself using a picture that my husband sent from the salon - there are 4-5 points on my leg that need to be measured
Need a smaller size
Either the size was chosen incorrectly, or the elastic bands were dirty. Rubber bands should be wiped with nail polish remover every day.
The third option is that Mr. bought stockings. I wear one pair for 6-8 months.
There are no elastic bands at all at the top, I only wear them for one day, apparently they are crap stockings
Copper, I recommend Sigvaris as stockings for every day. At worst, Venotex. The last Copper served me for 8 months. They tore in the sock where the toe is, so I decided it was time to change it. I've taken tights now, but you won't be able to wear them after giving birth. It will hang on the diaote like a fat tail.
If there are problems with the veins or the heredity is not very good, you should only wear stockings during childbirth. But there they need hospital stockings. For my previous birth, I took Venotex. They are relatively normal in quality (they're good for 5 days of wear), and the price is normal.
Copper will be twice as expensive.
And the hospital knitwear is somehow prescribed on the pack, otherwise the pharmacy told me to wear the same ones for childbirth
The picture in the post shows hospital knitwear.
The cape is open and white. The toe is open so that the doctor can see blue fingers if there is thrombosis.
Thanks for clarifying! I have them in beige color.
Normally, no one will let you go to the birth. It's like in street clothes give birth to. How will you be able to walk around in this hard synthetic material for 5 days without taking it off?
He is hospitalized white or beige usually. I'm at the orthopedic salon BKR. They know what's what.
Tell me, please, I wear these tights before giving birth, I give birth, and then I need to wear them? And how long should I wear them?
Not tights, stockings.
2 days after giving birth I was allowed to take them off at night to wash them. After removal, do not get up. In the morning, get dressed without getting out of bed. But during my first birth, I didn’t take them off until discharge. The first time, on the fifth day, I rented it for the night at home. In the morning, I then put on a regular compression suit.
During the last birth, they were allowed to take it off only after 5 days, and also at first only at night.
I had knee-high socks and they held up super well. They are delivered only after the legs have been measured to prevent them from slipping. Probably more expensive. Sigvaris
I bought thin ones for surgery, you can’t tell them apart from regular ones, even with a lace elastic band. Fits like a glove), cannot be compared with knitted ones
I haven't even seen these. Apparently I bought low quality ones☹️
I bought it at a regular pharmacy, I don’t remember the brand, it’s similar to these
I only had black ones
Did you choose the right size? I wore copper firms, not only did they not slip, I could barely put them on or take them off
Looks like I chose the right size☹️. My size is just on the border between 1 and 2, the pharmacy recommended 2, but along the way I had to take 1😩
Probably should have taken 1. because if they slip, what's the point of wearing them? Oh those varicose veins. I gave birth in the summer, I walked around in these stockings in the heat, it’s absolutely a nightmare (((
Yeah, in the summer it’s tough, now at least instead of tights you can... damn, I’m really upset, it’s a waste of money😩
I also need to take it.. for childbirth.. I don’t even know which company is better.. I didn’t want to waste money.. How do you feel?
Of course, I’m disappointed about the stockings, but if you buy them only for childbirth, then you can walk in them for a short time
Katyusha, I’m sorry that I didn’t answer in the comments then, I was all in a funk. I was discharged the day before yesterday, which I was very surprised by! She only stayed there for 7 days. Yesterday I had my tone again at home, went to the lcd and today I was sent for an ultrasound, after the ultrasound my gynecologist will decide whether to send me back to the maternity hospital or if everything is fine.
God willing, everything is fine and they won’t put you in the hospital!!
Yes, I wouldn’t mind lying down, I’m afraid of premature
I understand you very much... it happened with my youngest... I suffered with this tone, of course... it’s better to be on the safe side, but still I hope everything will be fine according to the ultrasound.
What to do to prevent stockings from falling down?
Stockings are constantly falling down. What should I do?
If you are faced with such a problem, then you probably wear stockings not so often, but rather from time to time. I wear it all the time and nothing slips off. Moreover, in 20 years I can only remember a few cases when this happened. And so, why stockings can fall down.
- Stockings are not your size. Precisely because some companies make measurements very approximately, it happens that a two-piece from one manufacturer fits perfectly, but from another, for example, it slips. You need to choose a manufacturer who makes a size that exactly matches your figure.
- It happens that stockings are put on legs that previously had creams or lotions applied to them. Stockings with silicone elastic will not stay on such skin. The skin should be dry and not oily. We apply all cosmetics when we are not in stockings.
- Silicone rubber takes time to adhere to the skin. Therefore, after putting on the stocking, you should sit for a while and not jump up and run outside. The elastic sticks to warm skin and takes time to absorb some heat from the body.
- Here the next point flows smoothly. These stockings should not be worn in cool weather. This is not good for health, just as it does not guarantee that the stockings will not slip down.
- Most reliable way fixing the stocking - a belt with elastic bands. I wear it in exactly this configuration. The silicone Velcro used to make my skin itch. The garter belt got rid of all the troubles at once. If it seems to you that it is inconvenient, then it is not so. Things tailored to your figure do not cause the slightest inconvenience. However, you need to remember that linen accessories must be of high quality. Namely, the clips for attaching the stocking must be metal, and not any plastic. Despite the variety of their types and designs. I described this in more detail here and here. Therefore, buy or sew yourself a belt that will be comfortable for you, and you will forget about this problem forever.
The stockings should not slide down. The silicone strip under the lace holds them securely, I have never had this happen before. Perhaps you got the wrong size or you were given stockings from a bad manufacturer. If this happens, you will have to buy a belt like this, it will definitely keep the stockings in place..
Previously, women fastened them to their belts with special elastic garters or stupidly put homemade round elastic bands over the stockings (it turned out something like modern stockings with an openwork elastic band). In my opinion, the first option is much more practical. If none of the options suits you, wear tights, they are “breathable”, i.e. without a “gusset” and even without an armhole at all.
Buy stockings with a wide elastic band; they are firmly fixed and do not slip down. The threads of the stockings should be very elastic. Pull the stockings up, down, and wide. Check for stretching. Then there will be no lights on the leg. You can replace the stockings with tights, as if they will not peel off or fall off.
compression stockings
IMHO, the manufacturer and nothing more, I bought Fest compressed stockings for 150 per piece and they are no different from those for 700 and a thousand
and tell me the size, please. The first one seems to be the smallest? The girth of the shin is suitable, but my thigh girth is a couple of cm smaller, will they not fall off or should I look less?
will not subside
:scratch: I don’t know this. I bought the smallest one, but my hips are not very small.
although when I put on the stocking, it presses on me for the first three minutes. They are very dense, so they may not fall off
Price range from 100 kopecks to more than a thousand.
wow))) where are they so cheap?)) I bought about 2 pairs from the diagnostics at the pharmacy for 1200.. They are good for everyone) They even have a color that’s not too scary - cappuccino)) :gy: they hold your feet GREATLY all day long. Sizes s,m,l accordingly.
The shin girth is suitable, but my hip girth is a couple of cm smaller,
Foot size also matters.
for 1200 about 2 pairs..
well, that is, for each pair 1200. :)
Where do they get such cheap ones? :=-O: I’ve been wearing stockings for 6 years now, I’ve never found such cheap ones
No stockings were needed both times.
that is, if you do not have a predisposition to varicose veins, do you think others do not have it?? %)
I didn’t turn to him in time and the disease progressed.
Where do they get such cheap ones?
pharmacy hundred: meet: stockings are from different manufacturers, but if it’s not the color that’s important, but the healing effect, then I think these will do 😉
There is a real downside - after washing they started to roll off my thighs 🙁
after washing they began to roll off my thighs
They cannot be washed entirely, but only a part up to the elastic band. The part with the rubber band is wiped with an alcohol solution.
I tried cheap ones - the effect was not the same.
For childbirth, I bought special Venoteks with an open toe for 800 rubles.
But I never had time to use it: the waters at home broke, my husband and I got into the car and into the maternity hospital in another city (we had to rush 30 km).
So whoever needs stockings for childbirth, I can give you cheaper ones. Otherwise they lie idle for six months.

To keep your stockings from falling down
Disappointments happen in our lives when grandiose plans collapse, and instead of the expected success, fiasco occurs. Imagine the situation: you bought chic stockings, dressed up in a new dress that suits you perfectly, did your hair, manicure, makeup... A drop of your favorite perfume, and now you go out into the street, boldly clicking your heels, all so airy and beautiful! You gracefully move towards the meeting place, feeling the admiring glances of men and... how your new stockings slowly but surely begin to slide down your slender legs.
Of course, in in this case We are talking about stockings with an elastic band, which are held in place by a silicone strip at the top. Most often, this is where the cause of confusion lies. The fact is that many ladies' resources recommend applying moisturizer to the skin of your legs before putting on stockings. It gets on the silicone insert, and it becomes slippery and stops holding the product in the desired position. What to do? At any cost, reach the nearest ladies' room or, alternatively, to a secluded place where you can take Urgent measures to save the threatened event. The recipe is simple: wipe your feet where the silicone is attached with a damp cloth (not a napkin. They may still contain the same cream). By the way, it is recommended to moisturize the upper part of your legs for a more secure fit of stockings in cases where you do not use cream. Try it, and you won’t regret it - the effect is amazing!
The stockings, which are attached to a special belt, never fall off. It has four straps - two at the back and two at the front, the length of which must be adjusted so that they go down almost to the stockings. Then everything is simple - pull the stocking over the rubber “button” and secure it with a metal frame. Make sure the straps are the same length. This contributes correct landing stocking and uniform load on the product when walking.
And now a surprise from Intimo! Don't want to bother with a belt and don't want to worry about silicone sliding around?
Look at the new product from Trasparenze - stockings-belt. They combine the intrigue of stockings and the comfort of tights and never slip down. You will feel calm and confident in them.
What you need to know before buying compression stockings for varicose veins: choosing a model, patient reviews and prices
A problem that many people face is varicose veins. Varicose veins are a disease in which the valves of the internal veins do not close. Causes may include a sedentary lifestyle, high heels, work where a person spends a long time standing or sitting, pregnancy, heredity.
Treatment methods can be classical medical treatment or surgery, as well as external cosmetic procedures or traditional methods therapy of the disease.
The place of compression garments in the treatment of varicose veins should not be underestimated. Compression therapy is one of the main methods of treating the disease, both in the initial stages and in advanced forms. This therapy does not have side effects, as a rule, it is prescribed by a specialist doctor.
Compression underwear
Compression therapy involves the use of compression garments.
It includes knee socks, stockings, tights, tights, sleeves and bandages. This type of underwear does not cause any discomfort. For the summer period, when it can cause discomfort in the heat, summer models have been developed from thin material and with an open toe.
You can wear it not only for medicinal purposes, but also instead of regular underwear. One or another underwear is selected depending on the place where the diseased vein is located, and is used five to ten centimeters higher.
Compression stockings
One of the main types of compression garments is orthopedic stockings for varicose veins. Most often they are used by the female gender. Modern compression stockings will not only help you stay healthy, but also look very aesthetically pleasing. They must fit perfectly in all areas of the legs to achieve maximum effect.
You can learn how to massage your legs for varicose veins and what types of therapeutic massage exist from our article.
Why is nutrition so important for varicose veins and how to organize a regime for varicose veins veins you can find out here.
Action, healing properties and purposes of wearing stockings
One of the main tasks of compression stockings is to establish correct work venous system, and muscle fiber system. Reduce tissue swelling.
Compression or external pressure leads to a decrease in the diameter of the veins and a decrease in the closure of the venous valves, as a result of which reverse flow does not occur. The anatomical pressure on the lower limbs is very important.
That is, this means that the compression in the ankle area should be maximum and decreases towards the fixing elastic band. Thanks to this design, blood moves towards the heart.
Indications for use
It is impossible to cure varicose veins with just one piece of underwear, but it is quite possible to improve the quality of life. This therapy is practiced along with the main treatment.
Many experts advise wearing compression stockings against varicose veins when there are no symptoms yet to prevent the appearance of varicose veins.
- To reduce pain. (When you step, the leg muscle trembles; with vein disease, and not only that, painful sensations appear).
- To remove excess toxins and moisture. (Wearing underwear creates additional blood flow).
- To relieve symptoms of heaviness and fatigue. (Compression hosiery has graduated compression (pressure on soft fabrics)). There is pressure on the muscular-venous pump, the lumen of the vessels (venous) narrows, therefore, the outflow of blood from the legs to the heart increases several times.
Classification of stockings and rules for their selection
Orthopedic stockings for varicose veins are divided into:
- classic;
- on silicone rubber;
- on a treatment belt with Velcro;
- with an open cape.
According to compression, stockings are divided into classes:
0,1,2,3 and “hospital” are classes of compression garments.
- Zero and first class are used for prevention, purchased without the appointment of a specialist. It is used when working on the legs, or, conversely, during sedentary work, with unstable swelling (appears in the evening and disappears in the morning), during pregnancy.
- The second and third class of compression garments are prescribed only by a doctor. It is used if varicose veins are caused by hereditary symptoms, as well as after surgery on the veins, with persistent swelling, pain and visible spider veins.
- The “hospital” class of compression garments is prescribed only by a doctor. As a rule, after surgery, depending on the duration of the operation (5 minutes or 5 hours), or the length of stay in bed.
Like regular stockings, which are classified by DEN (density unit of jersey), compression stockings are classified accordingly by compression. It is measured in millimeters of mercury (pressure force), and each stage of compression has its own:
- Class 0: millimeters of mercury;
- Class 1: millimeter of mercury;
- Class 2: millimeters of mercury;
- Class 3: millimeters of mercury;
- “hospital”: from 49 and above millimeters of mercury.
The size of medical stockings for varicose veins should be approached very carefully. It is determined by measuring the circumference of the legs at certain points and the length (foot, ankle, shin, knee and thigh of the leg) so that the graph of disappearing compression is even.
Compressor underwear is manufactured using special technology. It should be noted that it is not sewn on a conveyor belt, but is sewn individually in a “circular” (essentially circular knitting).
This underwear does not heat up; it contains elastane, which is necessary to create compression. Linen is difficult to stretch. It is neither cold nor hot. It's comfortable. There are pure cotton linen production lines and rubber ones.
Rules for wearing stockings
There may be clues (watch your manicure). If there is a child in the house and you have to play with him, try to do as few squats as possible, as your knees may stretch out.
On the stockings themselves, you can put on thin silk socks, which will protect your stockings from rubbing and the appearance of holes in the heel.
Dressing rules
Compression garments are difficult to put on due to the elastane thread they contain.
The stocking, golf is stretched on the hand to the “heel” and only after that is turned out. We put the foot itself into the so-called “house” for the foot, the most difficult place is the place in the instep, we pull it, insert the leg completely.
For overweight people, for people with bad backs, pregnant women later, there is a special device for putting on compressor underwear.
It's called a butler. A stocking, golf or sock is put on it, a leg is inserted, and then the butler is taken out, and the leg remains in the “clothes”. If your stockings have a toe, you must first put on silk socks.
Rules for caring for stockings
Compression stockings require regular washing. Washing must be done by hand only.
In order not to deform the fiber structure of the laundry, wringing and twisting should be avoided.
For people who are forced to wear stockings around the clock, doctors recommend that they wash themselves with soap, rinse under running water and dry with a towel.
Stocking manufacturing companies and patient reviews
Each company is trying to gain its place in the market to attract more consumers, creating unique models, but all aimed at therapeutic effects. There are no problems choosing and buying therapeutic stockings for varicose veins now.
- The VALENTO company produces compression garments with a massage effect, made from natural linen fibers.
- Ofa Bamberg (Germany) – uses modern materials, lace elements, a rich palette of colors and fibers. The lingerie models contain skin care substances.
The Internet is replete with patient reviews about compression stockings for varicose veins.
Companies in these countries provide economy class stockings, the wearing period of which is halved, but the price is not deterrent in relation to the quality. Cheap models often do not match the compression interval (one is indicated on the box, another on the product tag).
The wear period often does not maintain the established time interval. Knees stretch. Clues quickly appear. The heels are rubbing.
All companies strive to obtain the highest certificate. Products from a company that has been certified according to this standard must display the icon of this certificate on the box.
It can be found on models produced in Germany and Switzerland. In this case, the high price gives confidence that the knitwear will perform the specified functions. The price of stockings for varicose veins often depends on the manufacturer and the level of compression.
To buy stockings for varicose veins you will have to spend from thousands to tens of thousands of rubles.
- The company TONUS ELAST (Latvia) offers its class 2 models (23-32) for 1,500 rubles or more.
- Models (Germany) of the same class and compression can be purchased for rubles per pair. You should only buy underwear in specialized stores, where they will advise you on the brand and model according to a prescription prescribed by a doctor.
Compression stockings today are not only a necessity for people with varicose veins, but also a means of preventing many vascular diseases. However, you should approach the choice of such a product wisely, after consulting with your doctor or specialist.

Compression stockings: how to put on and wear them correctly
Treatment of varicose veins is carried out comprehensively using various technologies. Not the last place in the therapeutic regimen is occupied by the use of compression garments.
What are compression garments
Before touching on the question of how to properly wear compression stockings or other products of a similar type, you should consider the characteristics and features of the use of this underwear.
Medical or compression garments - knitwear, having therapeutic effects by applying pressure to eliminate swelling and improve blood circulation.
Reference. The main feature of such knitwear is not only the creation of compression, but its dosed distribution.
Maximum compression is created in the lower part of the leg - in the ankle area. As you move towards the thigh, the pressure decreases, and the lowest value occurs in the thigh area.
Mechanism of action of compression hosiery
Similar products are made from high-quality microfiber, cotton, lycra fibers with good elasticity.
During production, a special thread wrapping technology is used.
Medical knitwear has no seams, is hypoallergenic, hygroscopic and pleasant to the touch.
The products are used for the treatment and prevention of various pathological conditions:
To use medical linen, it is necessary to consult a specialist - a phlebologist, who, in accordance with the nature of the pathology and individual characteristics the patient’s body will select the necessary compression of the product and its type.
Today there are 4 compression classes, each of which is intended for certain cases.
Medical underwear comes in several types: stockings, knee socks, leggings, tights, etc.
Compression knitwear is available in a wide range
Reference. We suggest you learn more about the types of knitwear from this article.
Compression stockings: how to put them on correctly
Before wearing compression stockings, you should carefully read the instructions and consult a doctor.
Typically, the patient has to wear such products for quite a long time, since the treatment of diseases of the venous system is a long process. Here the issue is resolved individually with the attending doctor in each specific case, taking into account individual characteristics.
Immediately before putting on knitwear, you should perform some preparatory measures that will greatly facilitate the procedure itself:
- Nails must be carefully processed (trimmed, filed).
- If a person is putting on this type of product for the first time, it is better to use rubber gloves, which will protect the item from tearing when pulled. For women with manicures, this will be a real godsend, since they will be able to preserve both the knitwear and the nails.
- Remove jewelry from fingers otherwise they will damage the knitwear.
- If there are calluses or other unevenness on the feet, you need to smooth them out first. This is necessary to prevent the formation of puffs.
- Stockings and skin must be completely dry.
- Before putting it on, your legs should be in an elevated position for some time.
Before putting on compression hosiery, you should prepare by performing simple manipulations
Also, the question of when to wear compression stockings is important. It is better to do this in the morning immediately after, and remove it in the evening before going to bed. Doing this correctly will allow you to achieve maximum results from your treatment.
Ways to put on underwear
There are several ways to wear compression stockings correctly. Both methods are quite simple to perform, but still require some skill.
The first method looks like this (illustrated in the picture below):
- the stockings are turned inside out to the heels, at the heel they are turned inside out again - a cuff is made;
- the foot is inserted into the footprint and the material is straightened;
- then the product is pulled up the leg, while simultaneously turning outward;
- at the final stage, it is necessary to straighten the stockings from the feet to the thighs, paralleling the folds;
- then carefully fix the product using a silicone insert.
Illustration 1 of how to put on compression stockings and tights
The knitwear should be distributed evenly, since this is what determines the dosed pressure.
The above method of putting on knitwear is not the only one. There is another technique that is performed as follows:
- The stocking is turned so that the heel “looks” at the person.
- Next, the knitwear is gathered into an accordion along its entire length into a fist and is not released until it is put on.
- The product fits the foot up to the ankle.
- Place your thumbs on the heel and carefully place it on your leg, while simultaneously pulling the material up to the ankle.
- Next, the material is carefully released from the fist and stretched.
- If folds appear during the process, they need to be smoothed out or the material must be gathered into a fist again to the point where the folds form and the procedure should be slowly repeated.
The second method of putting on knitwear is somewhat reminiscent of putting on regular tights and stockings.
You can use any method, the main thing is to take your time and do everything carefully. After some time, acquired dexterity will allow you to shorten this process as much as possible.
These two methods are suitable both for putting on stockings and for putting on leg warmers, knee socks and tights.
Reference. Knitwear of compression classes 1 and 2 can be worn independently, but classes 3 and 4 require application special means, since it is difficult to do this manually.
To facilitate the procedure of putting on knitwear, several effective devices have been invented today:
- special sprays;
- battlers.
Devices that greatly facilitate the process of putting on medical underwear
Specially designed sprays can be found in pharmacies; their average price is approximately 500 rubles.
Before putting on compression stockings, spray on the underside. This treatment ensures better glide of the knitwear when stretched, as well as softening and moisturizing the skin.
Butler is a special device for putting on medical underwear. The product allows you to put on the product without effort, folds or stretching of the material.
Today, various models of butlers are produced for any occasion: standard, folding, special for tights, hospital, etc.
Such a device can be an indispensable assistant, allowing you to save time and effort.
Conclusion
If the doctor prescribed knitwear, then it is important to know how to wear it correctly compression tights and stockings.

unfortunately, yes. I agree with almost everyone. The only thing is, mine, thank God, didn’t tear) I bought it with a doctor’s prescription in connection with pregnancy and varicose veins. I bought Medi Comfort stockings without a nose somewhere on 02/20/12. From the very beginning it turned out that the elastic was rubbing in my groin area, then *coils* began to appear, because I was wearing under my pants or tights, I began to bend the elastic because it was rubbing until it bled. but now they have stretched, they have clearly become larger than me and there is nothing and nowhere to bend. (And I am pregnant, we all remember that during pregnancy they usually get better, which is what my legs did), it turns out that the stockings should fit me beautifully, but no. completely stretched out. Conclusion: you don’t have to worry about it and buy it much cheaper and it won’t be such a shame if the cheaper option stretches, *rolls up* and so on. I don’t see any point in applying under warranty; they will still make it clear that this was improper use.

I bought Medi Comfort stockings. On the second day a hole appeared on the big toe, on the third on the other big toe (for example, before them, Venotex was applied for 3 months - no problems). The case, as they told me at the salon, is not under warranty, it’s mechanical!!! nail damage!!! (I have a pedicure), you can submit it for examination, if it’s not in your favor, then pay for it. I darned it, thirty days later it turned out that I was allergic to silicone (the first allergy in my life), where the elastic was, everything was pimpled and itchy. Plus, they are very hot (the model, mind you, is comfortable, breathable). The only thing that should be noted is that there are no puffs or arrows in the compression area (yet); the veins certainly feel better in them. Conclusion: the item should cost 3 times cheaper, based on quality.

These Medi stockings of yours are so disgusting. When washed with your own shampoo, they shed - black water pours out of them. Painted with some specific chemical, my feet itch. I am not allergic to anything except your stockings. It is impossible to wear them. After a month of suffering, they tore on the heel. And this nasty thing costs 4,000 rubles. A shame!

I bought Mediven Elegance maternity tights 01/23/2012 today 03/27/2012 at work colleagues noticed a hole. I didn’t sell them for three months, but the end came for them... 5,200 rubles. I gave it away, it would be better if I bought it cheaper, it wouldn’t be such a shame.

The quality is terrible! No refunds under warranty!!! Correspondence below! Dear Sirs, please introduce yourself. I need to know who to file a complaint against. Also, please explain what exactly is the incorrect operation? Please describe what exactly on the product indicates its improper use? Why did compression stockings lose their compression properties before the warranty expired? Your assumption about the change in my sizes is incorrect, which is confirmed by the notification of the examination, I quote, “The product was selected according to your measurements, corresponding to the size table for this model range.” In addition, my weight has been stable for several years, which my doctor can confirm. I also ask you to write about the conditions for conducting an independent examination, as promised in the notification from Individual Entrepreneur S.A. Bryksin. -- February 08, 2012, 17:58 from info: Dear Irina Sergeevna! In response to your email request to the MEDI contact center dated January 29, 2012, this situation was checked. For my part, I would like to explain to you that more than 3 months have passed from the moment you purchased the compression hosiery to the time you visited the salon. During this time, your measurements may have changed downward, which could lead to insufficient fixation of the silicone elastic of the stockings, and improper use of the product could also lead to such a problem.

On September 12, 2011, in the MEDI store located on Kashirskoye Shosse, 23, I bought mediven Elegance compression stockings, model 289W, size II, black, costing 4094 rubles 00 kopecks. This product is under warranty until March 12, 2012, as evidenced by the warranty card. The product was selected in the store according to my measurements, in accordance with the model range. In November 2011 (2 months after purchase) the stockings lost their compression properties in their upper half. The stockings simply fall off the hips and do not create the stated compression in the upper half of the product. In this regard, I contacted the store with a request to return my money for the defective item. I was informed in a letter that “the defect is a consequence of mechanical damage that occurred during operation.” However, this letter does not contain a description of the damage, the date of the examination and information about the company that carried out the examination. This examination is considered invalid, because the notice of examination was drawn up incorrectly. I would like to note that there are no mechanical damages in the defect area on the product.

On January 29, 2012, in the MEDI store located on Kashirskoye Shosse, 23, I was provided with a fake book of complaints. This book did not contain the contact information of the director and did not contain the seal of the Administration. The seller told me that there is no other book of complaints in the store.

The stockings stretched out after 1.5 months and simply fell off the thigh when walking (despite the promised 6-month guarantee). At the same time, there is compression on the calves. I filed an official complaint, returned the stockings, and received an answer that allegedly due to mechanical damage the stockings had stretched and a refusal to refund the money. I wore the stockings according to the instructions, there were no holes or damage. I consider the wording to be a deception. It's a pity. I will contact the Consumer Protection Society. Stockings for 4 thousand rubles and such poor quality, it’s a shame.

I bought new stockings 2 days ago. I've been wearing this knitwear for over 3 years, but this has never happened before! Stockings - 3 degrees of compression - a serious product. Firstly, the belt is puzzling - 2 pieces of gigantic size. Secondly, there are elastic bands at the top. Double wide, very weak and straight. As a result, on the second day they began to slide down to the knees. Maybe this is a fake?
It happens that unforeseen circumstances bring disharmony to the created image. For example, they dressed up in an elegant dress, did ultra-fashionable hair and makeup, and are just in time to head to cocktail party. However, the stockings bother me as they constantly slide down my legs. How to avoid trouble? Are there ways to secure them more securely?
Back in the 5th century BC, stockings became part of the wardrobe for the first time. And what’s surprising is not female, but male. They were discovered by archaeologists while excavating the tomb. The decoration of the product included frills, ruffles, garters, and stones. Ladies borrowed this piece of clothing from the stronger half only during the reign of Elizabeth I. Of course, they differ from modern models viscous, dense and lack of elasticity.
1938 marks the release of nylon stockings. They are gaining unprecedented popularity and love, although the products are expensive. The introduction of Lycra in 1959 marks a milestone in the stocking industry. The subtle and transparent innovation did not leave fashionistas around the world indifferent.
Today on store shelves there is a large assortment of models of different textures and varied colors.
How to fasten stockings
Models with elastic bands made of silicone will not bring awkwardness and discomfort. Although this is precisely the reason for the inconvenience. Ladies who constantly use stockings strongly recommend lubricating their legs with cosmetic cream right before putting on the model. In addition, when in contact with the silicone insert, it causes it to slide and move the hosiery in different directions. To do this, wipe the area with the applied product in advance. cosmetic product wet wipe. It is not recommended to lubricate the upper legs with cream.
The stockings do not fall off the legs when firmly attached to the belt. Four straps with adjustable length will solve your problems. The main thing is that they are set to the same distance. Maintains the perfect position of the product and uniform load during movement.
When using a sample without elastic, accurately establish the wearing details of the garter belt. First of all, it is worn under underwear to ensure comfort. They focus on the material of the product: about 30% is elastic. Allows excellent fit in silhouette and, if necessary, adjustment. To make putting on and wearing easier, choose items with fasteners on the sides and front. Required condition: The belt fits snugly without causing any discomfort.
Stockings with garters or with pendants
Before use, carefully straighten the product to achieve a vertical position. Perform the operation in front of a mirror to prevent mistakes. Gathering the stocking into an accordion from top to bottom, carefully pull it onto your leg. Avoid twisting or pulling too hard. Samples intended for a belt are equipped with a welt. This is a dense stripe at the top.
Step back 2 cm from the edge of the strip, slide in the bottom element of the fastener, and carefully attach it at the top with loops. Bend your leg slightly and place it on a chair to make the task easier. If there is a seam, reinforced toe or heel, proceed with caution. Don't pull too hard on stockings and suspenders that are simply adjustable.
Thoroughly washed feet with soap do not slip, and this prevents the stockings from sliding down at the wrong moment.
When choosing a belt with suspenders, take into account that the material of the adjustable elastic band is durable, and the texture of the clips is metal: plastic fails suddenly.
When choosing a belt, the stockings must fit closely on the leg. Tight products cause discomfort, too big ones cause sagging. Therefore, it is advisable to purchase a product in a smaller size.
Right before trying on the model, you should trim your nails and sand uneven surfaces so that there are no puffs or arrows.
Pull carefully from the toe towards the knee. Next, while standing, straighten the height of the product.
Short dress and stockings
Stockings that peek out from under a dress are considered bad manners. Pay attention to the length of the skirt so that the lace elastic is hidden from prying eyes. The mini length in combination with stockings looks vulgar. Suitable variations: knee-length or slightly higher outfit. Tight-fitting clothing should not emphasize the presence of the accessory.
On a note
Use stockings that are lighter than your outfit. The combination of black bottom and light top looks ridiculous. A pastel-colored toilet does not go well with black stockings. White stockings match the wedding dress. Classic - flesh-colored, but one tone darker than the skin.
Combine correctly with shoes. Sheer stockings work well with open-toed shoes, as long as the shoes are darker. In bad taste looking at a set of black stockings and light-colored shoes. The slenderness of the legs allows you not to refuse models with patterns. If you're overweight, don't focus too much on your hips. the best way out– the monotony of the classical style or the rigor of the vertical geometry of the product.
Saving on stockings often leads to self-doubt. A slight snag or delay can provoke confusion and complexes. Buy high quality products. They will last longer. Wearing it with boots risks losing its presentable appearance due to the zipper.
When going to a social event, consider your choice. Tights are suitable for a short, fitted dress. Stockings are suitable for a skirt that covers ¾ of the thigh. In combination with an outfit below the knee, they can visually shorten the length of the legs. A distinctive feature of stockings in this case: transparency, uniformity and dark color.
In the cold season, you can’t do without knitted knee socks. They will make you look seductive and at the same time warm your feet. It is not forbidden to wear with shorts and dresses, skirts, they can safely peek out from under the outfit. There is a wide selection of materials and colors available. Black and brown tones will add slenderness to your legs. Red and gray stockings with geometric patterns are on trend. When selecting models with pattern geometry, make sure that it is suitable option for your feet.
Additionally
The distinctive features of stockings are sexuality, elegance and beauty. They are especially convenient in summer period, in the heat, so that your feet don’t sweat in the upper places. Wearing hosiery models in the summer is preferred at parties, because etiquette requires covering your legs. Representatives of the stronger sex pay increased attention to them.
There are a variety of hosiery samples available in retail sales, which are easy to select according to the required size, required number of deniers and color. When purchasing, consider how you will wear it: with silicone elastic bands or with a belt. For safe and secure wearing, it is good to rinse the product in cold water before the first try on.
So, hosiery is an intimate wardrobe accessory that complements the outfit. But not all ladies give preference to them because of the fine line between bad taste and sexuality, which can be easily crossed. However, choosing this underwear and taking into account the recommendations will bring a feeling of comfort and effect.
Stockings are the predecessors of tights. It is known that the first tights appeared only in the 40s of the twentieth century, while stockings have existed for many centuries. The first knitting machine for them was invented at the end of the 16th century; before that they were knitted by hand.
This wardrobe item is shortened tights or long socks. The length of the stockings can be different, the minimum is just above the knee, the maximum is up to the middle of the thigh.
Mostly hosiery is worn in the cold season, so tights have practically replaced stockings in everyday use, since they cover the leg completely. Stockings are more refined underwear, which favorably emphasizes the legs, makes the image more impressive and extraordinary. Almost all models are made with this in mind - they have beautiful openwork inserts and delicate tones. In combination with a short dress or miniskirt, the product is an independent component of the wardrobe, as it is completely visible.
For women who absolutely need to observe etiquette and cover their legs, stockings will be indispensable in the summer heat, as they are much lighter than tights.
Mounting types
Stockings differ from each other mainly in the method of fastening. The first type is with a silicone rubber band, with which the product is attached to the thigh. The second type involves the presence of an additional accessory - a belt, to which they are attached using special garters.
There are strengths and weaknesses in each type of fastening; the choice is determined by what clothes and for what occasions this item of clothing will be worn.
The elastic version is more versatile; it can be safely worn under any clothes, including short skirts. The disadvantage is that the stockings can slip down at the most inopportune moment.
The option with a belt is more intimate. It is not customary to show garters to third parties, so for going out it can be used under longer clothes. This option is also ideal for intimate home environment to please your loved one in a new way. The advantage of stockings with a belt is a more secure fastening that will not allow them to slip.
What to do to prevent stockings from falling down
If you have chosen stockings with silicone elastic, you should take into account several recommendations on how best to choose and wear them so that they do not fall off.
- The main rule is to choose right size. Typically, there are three parameters in the size table - height, weight and foot size. If your measurements are on the border of two sizes, it is recommended to choose the larger one. To be completely sure of making the right choice size, you can consult on this issue with the specialists of the store where the purchase will be made.
- Before putting on stockings, you do not need to apply any oils or creams to your legs, as they will help the elastic slip.
- To prevent the stockings from slipping down, it is recommended to sit for a few minutes after putting them on, as the silicone insert needs some time to attach.
Another recommendation on what to do if after these manipulations the stockings still slip down, wet your foot at the junction with the silicone rubber with plain water. When the silicone is wet, it adheres better to the body and this prevents the product from slipping.
