How Do the JOBST Compression Stockings Work?
Venous issues like lymphoedema can develop when blood does not circulate around your body effectively, and instead starts to pool in your arms and legs. To effectively relieve such symptoms in your legs, JOBST compression stockings apply gradient compression starting from your upper legs down to your ankles, prompting the movement of blood.
What Colour Are These Stockings?
These stockings are supplied in a medium-beige colour, which is ideal for women with lighter skin tones. This range also includes a selection of other colours including black and navy.
What Is the Benefit of the Open Toe?
As compression stockings are designed to apply pressure to your legs, some people find they can start to crush their toes too much. If you don't require compression on your toes therefore, you may prefer to wear and open toe version.
Why Should I Trust the JOBST Opaque Stockings?
The JOBST Opaque stockings have undergone strict quality controls and testing during their production. They also adhere to the guidelines of the International Lymphoedema Framework, you can be sure that they will be able to effectively alleviate your symptoms.
Is It Easy to Put the JOBST Opaque Stockings On?
Compression stockings can be tricky to put on as they are made to fit so tightly against the skin. However, due to their soft yarns and natural cotton composition, the JOBST Explore Stockings can be slid on and off with minimal fuss.
Are The JOBST Opaque Compression Stockings Comfortable?
These compression stockings are designed to provide outstanding comfort, so you'll be able to wear them for extended periods with no trouble at all. Their durable yarns have a soft, stretchy feel, and their anatomical design ensures they fit snugly around the contours of your leg. On top of this, they are also moisture-wicking, so you won't have to worry about perspiration or odour.
What Kind of Grip Top Do These Stockings Have?
These JOBST Opaque Stockings have a dotted top band made of silicon which will stop them from sliding down your legs during the day, eliminating the need for any straps or glues. However, some people still prefer knitted bands as they can be less irritating on the skin.
Which Level of Compression Do I Need?
These stockings have a compression level of RAL Class 1, meaning they apply 18 - 21mmHg of gradient pressure to your legs. This is considered a light level of compression, suitable for treating milder conditions like chronic fatigue and pain, or for wear during travel. If you aren't sure which compression level you need, speak to your doctor.
