NuVein Medical Compression Stockings, 20-30 mmHg Support, Women & Men Thigh Length Hose, Open Toe, Black, Medium

I am 5’7 1/2” tall and weigh 185 lbs. I’m of medium build and have pretty muscular legs. I initially bought a Beige size Large stocking and loved it so much when I tried it on that I immediately ordered a black one too. These compression stockings are well made of quality material, durable and comfortable. The non-slip bands keeps the stockings in place and I don’t have to keep on pulling the stockings up. The stockings fits perfectly and the band stays in place about 3-4” from my hip joint. I recently had total knee replacement surgery 2 weeks ago and still had a lot of swelling from my thigh all the way down to my toes and it was very painful. My doctor recommended I get compression stockings to help the swelling to go down. I was only able to find compression stockings that went from the feet up to the calves in our town, much like athletic socks, but there weren’t any full length stockings. I’m so glad that I found these on Amazon. I’ll be wearing the black pair with some of my dresses and skirts this winter ( I am Thomas’ wife! ). Great purchase!!!

I own 3 pairs of these stockings in nude, size large. I originally purchased them because I was getting a laser vein ablation, and these were a required part of my recovery. Now I wear them every day to work because I am standing for 8+ hours a day. They make a big difference in the swelling of my legs. If I know I will be standing/walking a decent amount on my days off, I will wear them that day as well. If I don't wear them to work, my veins hurt. Sometimes a burning pain, sometimes a sharp pain. If you're going to wear them regularly, I'd recommend buying at least 2 pairs. They will start to stretch and slip down after a few months of use. You will notice they bunch up behind the knees, and might bind at the top where the band is, especially if you have some "fluff" at the top of your thighs. If I have to climb stairs or put away a pallet of product at work, they will slip down some and I'll have to go pull them back up again. As a person who wears them nearly every day, I have a love-hate relationship with them. They can be a pain and extend my get-ready time in the morning; but they make a difference in how I feel throughout the day. I also don't always wear pants with them. I've gotten to a point in my life where I'll wear a knee-length skirt or a pair of shorts with them, and I just don't give a f*** about what other people think. I can wear flip flops with them on because they're open toed. It looks goofy, but whatever. I'd rather not be in pain. Some days I think they're cute, and make me look like a (rather worn out) pin-up girl. Hah. Wish they came in other colors so I could make them into a fashion statement. Also: Washing them in cold water and allowing them to air-dry has helped them keep their shape and not ruin the elastic. You're welcome. In conclusion: If your veins hurt, buy them. Buy 2 or 3 once you find the correct size. You won't regret it.

Very good quality and definitely the level of support as advertised. My problem with these compression stockings is that I can get them on but they are all but impossible to remove. That is not just this brand, but is typical for the 20-30 mmHg support hose. They also are quite tight around my thighs, but even then they will not stay in place without a generous amount of "body glue" which must be purchased separately. I wash them in Woolite, roll them in towels to remove the excess moisture and hand them to dry. The effectiveness of swilling relief depends entirely on your particular medical issue.

These are open toe and they do come down below the ball of my foot, but not past the end of my toes. The hose are as difficult to put on as any other compression hose. The heel cup is a slightly different material which I thought was odd at first, but after wearing I find it helps keep the hose in place. I’ve found other open toes slide up my legs throughout the day and I’ll find the heel cup midway up to my knee. These don’t do that at all- the heel stays in place through a 10 or 12 hour shift. The thigh measurements said the medium fit up to a 22” thigh but they will definitely fit a bit larger of a thigh as mine measure 24-25. There is a nice even compression from toe to top. The silicone dots do dig a bit and leave little red dots but the clear up quickly once I remove the hose. The dots do a great job keeping the hose up, I haven’t had any sliding down through the day. Some brands use and extra tight band compared to the main body of the stocking but these aren’t like that. There’s little to no dent to give away the placement of the tops band. As far as color the white is a good true opaque white. The beige is a tiny bit darker/more realistic than other brands I e tried but I’m also very pale so I may just be lucky it’s a match for me.

I've been wearing these thigh compression every day since 2020, just received a new pair and was disappointed to see the material feels more like nylon and thus snags easier. The previous stockings I LOVED but these new ones won't last long which will make me do some research and switch to another brand. Support and comfort are huge and when you have to wear these every day for medical reasons, the thicker less nylon like material was really comfortable, snug, and did not roll at the foot. These new ones roll at the foot and again in one week, I lost 2 already to snags. They are not as tight fitting either which cause more pain. Bring back the old version!!!!

I have been wearing compression stockings for 10 years. I have worn these 4 times (10-14 hours a day) and washed them twice. They work great! I am 5'6" and 145lbs, I bought 20-30mmHg size L thigh highs. I love them. Super durable even when my nails are slightly long. I read a review by a young lady who slept in them and got red spots from the plastic, this is normal. When I have an extra long day and feel the need to wear stockings at night I would only recommend knee high, surgical stockings---NOT compression stocking unless directed by a doctor (like when I had deep vein, laser treatment). There are surgical stockings online (the white ones with a blue ribbed open toe) that only have a slight woven band without the plastic grip that are very lightweight and comfortable enough to wear to sleep. I have had slight reaction to the plastic grip as well from my OTHER hose, but suprisingly NOT from these -even after 14 hours (impressing!). I alternate thigh highs and knee highs to prevent the slight redness and irritation but after long days it's bound to happen. This is my only pair from NuVein. I have 2 prescription pairs, as well as 2 other "over the counter" pairs from different brands. I buy a new pair roughly every 2 years. These seem like they will last longer than that so whenever I buy my next pair it will certainly bee NuVein brand, love them! NuVein request: is it possible to make full length hose with only netting in the middle instead of compression material throughout the middle? Most wearers have underwear on beneath them right? The compression material is far too much. Just a thought:)

Ive used compression thigh highs for about 3 years now. I had to use after multiple surgeries on right leg. I've tried many brands and sizes. I'm 5' 8" and about 160lbs. A xlarge was perfect. The thigh high stays put and the compression is perfect. It's very comfortable and does not leave a big bulge between my thigh and my butt, so I can wear fitted pants without and large lump between the two. I also notice less swelling in my leg compared to other more expensive brands I've tried. Also no irritation from the band on my skin! So I will be ordering these long term!!

I am new to the world of compression stockings but have tried a few. For me the thigh band areas on these were too tight. Even though at first felt ok on, within the small amt of time I had them on just to try them on, the thigh elastic bands had made a very uncomfortable physical dent in my legs that took like a day to go back down. Everyone's body is different, so if you are very firm or more muscular in your legs like a man, these may be a good product for you. But if you are female and have softer thighs or swelling, etc., these may be too hard to wear. I wanted to use these, because they actually were the nicest ones I've tried on, and the inside of the elastic thigh bands are lined with tiny gel beads to comfortably grip your skin which hold up the stockings quite nicely. But on my body, the thigh bands were too tight. I ordered the largest size so not sure if it's a manufacturing problem or what, but if the size is larger so should be the thigh elastic part. The stocking part was comfortable. Not buttery soft like some other brands I've had, but did feel great once on. I was concerned though that as I tried them on, the seams at the heel which provides the heel cup were already looking very stretched, so not sure how long that sesm would hold up long term. The foot area fit very well and I liked the open toe feature of these for when I wear birkenstocks. All said they are a good quality stocking, just make sure you're able to handle the tightness of the thigh bands. Imo I think, although they did look super cute on me lol, they're probably more suited for a man's firmer thighs. Also the photo is accurate but imo kind of tricky to see if they are thigh highs or full leg stockings that go up to your waist. So they should change out the photo to make it more clear. Right now at 1st glance it looks like they took a photo of a full stocking and just cut the top half off.
