These are great and even better with briefs… ladies please read this!
Having 6 procedures for leg vein issues and will be living in these for almost two months. I saw the reviews about the rash at the top of the leg because of the band and knew I had to do something different. I got women’s briefs (slightly longer than the boyshorts) and the band fits over that, no rubbing on my skin and it protected the upper incision area.The sizing, it’s challenging for sure, so I hope this helps some of you with measurements.Ankle 9.5, calf 16, thigh 22 I’m 5ft5. What ended up fitting was the XL. It’s tight, and some days my foot is more swollen so I also ordered an XXL and I’m so glad I did, for the days my leg or foot is swollen I use the XXL. It’s still a lot of compression without the tightness. When I don’t have any swelling issues I wear the XL.I have not had any issues from the band with it being over briefs. The other nice thing is no rubbing on the other leg when wearing a dress or sleeping in them. It will save your legs!Quality is good, I hand wash in cold water, hang to dry and they are holding up to a lot of wear. Very happy with these. I felt strongly about leaving a review in hopes of helping someone!

Good compression; comfortable wear
Very soft, comfortable material with the proper 20-30mmHg compression. I’ve been wearing compressions stockings for three years now due to a valve reflux and these compression stockings do a good job. They are easy to put on and feel comfortable even in the tropical weather I live in. I used the sizing chart, measured in the morning and bought these in Large. The chart is pretty accurate as they’re a perfect fit. The top band has the right width and dots to help keep it in place throughout the day. They do their job and help reduce the swelling and I do believe they’re accurate in their compression. I’ve used Therafirm thigh high stockings and they’re comparable. The color is a bit lighter beige, I was hoping it would be more skin-colored more in or with Therafirm but it’s alright.I will order in black and more beige ones for daily wear.

Better than expected
I wasn't expecting much from these, but they're atually some of the best fitting compression stockings I've tried out of 5-6 brands 😅 I have very wide feet, fairly normal ankles, thick calves, and apparently not quite as proportionally large thighs as I once thought, so it's been difficult to find something that works for me. The sizing on these is a bit more friendly to me than many others- ankle and calf size actually fall within the parameters for a single size, and I dont have to debate sizing up to fit my calves. I bought a medium for 9 inch ankles+14 inch calves, and they fit well.The materials are okay. Perhaps better than I expected. There was the smallest hint of a run when I received my pair, but nothing has come of it. I've worn the same pair at least a dozen times now, and washed them in a delicates bag in the washer in cold water, and they're fine. Perhaps a bit looser than when I first got them, but I imagine that's somewhat normal.I don't have a whole lot of experience with compression stockings, as I only started wearing them recently, so I can't say if these are really 20-30mmHg or not. But they are fairly comparable to another brand that a long-time user of compression stockings recommended to me, so I'd say they're close enough. And they've helped with what I needed them for, which was initially leg weakness and is now circulation (issues caused by dysautonomia).I've ordered a different pair from the other brand, and we will see how they work. I may stick to the other brand if I'm pleased with them, but if I'm not. I imagine I might end up buying another pair of these. The ones I have will remain in the compression stocking rotation either way. :' )

Worth giving a try
They were a little less expensive than some other brands. I hate that I need these but they are working. They stay up fairly well. They seem to be reducing the swelling in my leg a bit. The beige color helps to hide them a little I can’t wear them all day quite yet. They get uncomfortable after several hours, but I think that’s true for all compression stockings. Definitely worth a try. I’ll be getting another pair so I can have one set clean and dry while I’m wearing the other pair.

Very efficient
At first I bought a medium without measuring. They fit snuggly but I was wondering if a small would be tighter so I bought a small. They both fit the same for me. I have a Verithena sclerotherapy appointment next month, so I’m keeping both. The thigh-grooved constriction does leave imprints on me even after days of no use but they don’t slip AT ALL!…so it’s fine. Definitely helps end of day swelling and pain. Sturdy material and hasn’t torn in the slightest, even with my sharp nails. I’m fair with olive undertones and they match my skin perfectly. I’m 4’10” 135 pounds.

FINALLY! No top rolling down
These thigh highs are a game changer. I have 10 other brands that were a waste of money because the tops would roll down and cause enough pinching and pain that I had to take them off after a couple of hours. Not these! I’m 5’3” 250 and have edema in mostly one leg that swells 2x its size. The sock material is as heavy as my name brand RX ones and are soft to wear. I bought the size large for the upper leg circumference and for the length which is just right so that they aren’t going up so far as all my other ones to where there’s no longer any sun shining. LOL. I am so frickin happy that now I can wear these all day with no misery or bunching up pain. Only wish I had found these ones sooner before a spent the $90 on one pair of the RX ones.

Not for me
Honestly, it was fine the first couple times. However, these long style socks have one problem: the top won't stay in place on my thighs... I absolutely love the quality, but sadly, I don't like the fact that it cost me 20 bucks and I could wear no more than 5 times...maybe I am on my legs all day and it is just not for me...

Comfortable for everyday use and a bit loose
Bought this for my mom, couldn't find the exact one we bought long ago, a bit loose but does the job, it stretch good enough to your leg and still maintain it shape after few washes. Comfortable to use for long walk. She bought it primarily for her Varicose.
