beister Medical Compression Pantyhose for Women & Men, 20-30mmHg Graduated Support Tights, Opaque Footless Waist High Compression Stockings & Leggings for Varicose Veins, Edema, Flight, DVT

These are some of the best compression stockings I have purchased. The mmhg is perfect, the most perfect firmness. I purchased 20-30mmhg because that is what has worked for me, I'm an RN, and on my feet all day. I wanted compression, but still wear my cotton socks because my feet sweat too much in the complete stockings. Thank you for the great stockings.

Just got mine today. Will update after awhile of using them. I got an XL. My jeans are 8. These are comfortable. I had knee surgery last year. They told me to do compression socks for swelling they were awful. I wish they had recommended these. Lol they are similar to the pantyhose we used to wear in the 80s.

They are pretty good to put on, enough compression for me, since I’m short (5’3”) it creases a bit behind my knee and a little by my ankles, you have to smooth it out. Overall good material and stretch. For reference I’m 220lbs and 5’3”.

These fit perfectly once I got them on. After that first time, they were a breeze to work with. These went all the way to my waist, which provided quite a bit of comfort in wearing them, just like a pair of pantyhose. The pressure was evenly distributed, and they didn't roll. I had a pair similar to these, but I lost quite a bit of weight and couldn't wear them anymore. Now I can get several pairs in different colors. Great product!

[SIZING] - MEASURE BEFORE YOU BUY, ESPECIALLY FOR MEN.I am a 6'0" 165 lb male who typically wears a men's medium.I had to order an XL in this product to achieve the same fit I would typically expect from a men's medium. That said, the size chart is accurate, so if you have the ability to measure yourself, select the size that is closest to your measurements per the chart (not the size you typically wear).[DESIGN] - THE DESIGN IS CENTER-SEAMED ON BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK...Setting aside sizing differences, the design is clearly intended for women as there is no "cup" or other design accommodation to account for those unique male appendages we have. I found that this garment either provides too much crotch support (i.e., when pulled up into the crotch) or none at all.Even worse, there's a seem that runs from the back down under and right up the middle of crotch which can be abrasive / uncomfortable if you're not wearing anything underneath.[PERFORMANCE] - ADVERTISED COMPRESSION WAS COMPARABLE TO OTHER PRODUCTSI have no way to directly measure the graduated compression which is advertised other than by anecdotal comparison to other brands of similarly rated compression stockings.That being said, I found that the performance, when sized correctly, is as expected. This is why sizing is SO important. If you get a size which is too small, the compression is going to feel far more aggressive than advertised.The graduation is certainly real as advertised, with the ankles being the tightest and the waist being the loosest.[QUALITY] - MATERIALS ARE DURABLE BUT AT THE EXPENSE OF BEING BREATHABLE.The materials are a bit heavier and thicker than other compression stockings I've tried in the past. For instance, I've used anti-embolism stockings which are so thin you'd want to wear socks over them before putting on shoes. With these, the materials are about as thick as a crew sock but obviously more compressive than your average sock. That said, the version I bought has openings at the feet, so socks are still required for my use-case.Despite not being explicitly advertised as possible, I've been able to machine wash my garments with no issues.

These are the best compression leggings for prolonged standing that I’ve ever worn. They’re a lot of work to put on, but if I wet my finger tips, I can get a better grip. I love that they don’t have the feet on them because I can wear them with capris in the summer without them showing. They’re just thick enough to seem durable. I’m very pleased with them.

Wanted to love these due to the price but can’t. For starters, the size chart is WILDLY inaccurate and illogical. I thought my legs were really messed up when I saw that each spot I measured went from Small to X Large to XXX Large. How exactly do you choose a size when the chart gives you all of the sizes at once?!I read some reviews and realized it’s the chart that is messed up, not me. Big thanks to the company for the XXX self esteem hit! Even with the helpful reviews I could not tell if I was large or XL so I had to buy both. Already ensuring that I’d only be able to wear one pair. It was XL.I’ve worn them maybe a week in total since receiving and cut and rounded all my nails to avoid runs. Yesterday I went to put them on and saw this. The waistband is unraveling. After maybe 7 wears. Seriously?! That’s like, the only spot that does NOT get pulled on so why is it falling apart?! Yeah, the price is nice but not when you need to buy multiple sizes and they fall apart in a week.

Great quality! Good fit.I checked the size chart, ordered an Extra Large pair, and it is very comfortable.
