What Conditions Are the JOBST Maternity Opaque Compression Stockings Suitable For?

The JOBST Maternity Compression Stockings have a Class 1 compression class (CCL), which means that they provide a gentle compression to reduce the symptoms of onset varices (enlarged or swollen veins) due to pregnancy. Other conditions included, but are not limited to, the following:

• Onset of pregnancy-related varices
• Spider Veins
• Swollen Legs
• Varicose Veins

Which Level of Compression Do I Need?

These stockings have a compression level of RAL Class 1, meaning they apply 18 - 21mmHg of graduated pressure to your legs. This is considered to be a very gentle compression, and the lowest of the two compression classes available in the JOBST Maternity Opaque range.

Check with your doctor before purchasing these garments to ensure these stockings are right for you.

How Do the JOBST Maternity Opaque Compression Stockings Work?

Medical compression stockings such as the JOBST Opaque range work by increasing the pressure on the tissue under the skin, which in turn helps to reduce swelling (oedema) and leg pain. This also helps to prevent your veins from becoming swollen with blood, minimising any pain caused by swollen legs.

How Comfortable Are the Maternity Stockings?

We know that staying comfortable during your pregnancy is of utmost importance, and your stockings shouldn't compromise this. The JOBST Maternity Stockings have been designed to be as comfortable possible, offering the following features and benefits:

• Ventilation Zone: The ventilation zone in the foot area optimises air circulation to keep your feet cooler while you're on the go.
• Moisture Management: The foot area facilitates reliable moisture management, keeping your feet feeling dry for longer.
• Belly Insert with SoftFlex Zone: You don't need to worry about constantly having to buy new stockings as your pregnancy progresses, as the SoftFlex Zone belly insert allows the JOBST Opaque Stockings to expand with your growing belly.
• Soft-Touch Material: There's no need to worry about any scratchy materials being close to your skin, as the JOBST Opaque Stockings are designed with a gentle material that's soft to the touch.

What Are the Maternity Stockings Made From?

The JOBST Maternity Opaque Stockings are soft and gentle to the touch. They feature the following materials:

• Elastane (36%)

How Do I Care for the JOBST Stockings?

The JOBST Maternity Opaque Stockings are suitable for washing every day if required. They can be washed at 40°C with a mild detergent.

When applying the stockings, care must be taken if you have long nails or are wearing jewellery. You may prefer to wear rubber gloves or use a donning aid both to ease the application and protect the stockings.
