Jobst Relief, Medical Legwear, Open Toe, Firm Compressions Knee High Socks, Medium, Beige, 1 Pair

They were way too tight for me. I had to get 15-20 and they were plenty good for my swollen ankles.

Great if you need them

Soy una persona que padezco de mis piernas y estas medias son mi mejor ayuda más cuando estuve en embarazo ya que me ayudaban a que no se me imflamaran mis pies

The color is pretty nice. All the following complaints probably indicate they are very good at compression. Just not for me! first time I got the stronger compression. Gave up putting them on. Dr.said needed for a looong plane trip, so sent them back and got the lesser. The very quick turnaround was excellent! After several tries over a period of days finally got them on. One problem is that my fingers are simply not that strong any more. And neither are my shoulders! Ended up lying on my back to pull them on. As someone else said, then I needed a nap. I wore them several hours, and my feet felt cold. Thought that might be a good sign as they cut off the circulation. Then wore them a second day and decided that they are so tight still that they act kind like a tourniquet and would be worse for my circulation (on the plane) than without. Had to be careful as they tended to pull up longer over my knee and then rolled down, which was very uncomfortable. Feet (on the toeless ones) rolled up. Wore them with sandals. Closed toe might be different. Maybe will order the "helpers" someone wrote about but won't have in time for the trip. My problem is not as bad as some, I hope. My legs swell often, but no varicose veins etc. Thank goodness. My hat is off to those of you who are able to get these girdles on!!!!

These are worth their weight in gold. I've been buying these from my local DME store for a few years now, so I was happy to find them here on Amazon for a few dollars cheaper. I sit at a computer all day so my lower legs can get pretty swollen by the end of my workday/week. I put these on right away in the morning and leave them on all day, and when I take them off in the evening, I have absolutely no swelling. Jobst is a bit more costly than the competitors, but they're well worth the investment.
