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

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.The belly part isn’t snug if you have a flat belly & smaller waist. Otherwise comfy depending on your body shape.

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.

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!

EDIT- Changing to 3 stars for now to reflect the company reaching out and sending me a new pair to try. Will update the review with how the new pair holds upWanted 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.

Arrived as advertised. I really like the open toe model - It is tight but does not crowd the toes!

To try them out, I put them on, walked down a flight of stairs, and sat down on a high stool. Then frantically clawed them off my body before I passed out.I was between two sizes - my calves and ankles a full size smaller than my upper body, so I bought the larger size. I was concerned that this wouldn’t give enough compression for my calves, but that was fine. In fact, standing, the compression was really nice. And felt very supportive for my entire legs.However, as soon as I sat down, the waistband dug in and cut off my blood flow and it was bad. I am returning these and going to try a pair with a wider (3”+) waistband.I am short (5’2”), so I knew they’d be too long, which they were. I’d hoped that I could simply cuff them, but in the short time I had them on, the extra fabric gravitated to the backs of my knees and the hinges of my hips, which wasn’t comfortable.Also, they had a very strong, chemical odor which stung my nose and sinuses. It’s now almost an hour later, and my sinuses still sting a little.What I did like was they were very opaque - much more so than expected.Maybe good for someone tall, who fits better into a single size? But I wouldn’t recommend them.

Order a size or two larger; 20-30 mmHg is pretty tight, especially in the thighs. Once I struggled and got them on, I wore them for an entire day and they were comfortable. I’m 5’9” and they were long enough too. Love the brown color; it matches my skin tone.
