NURCOM 20-30 mmHg Compression Pantyhose for Women & Men, Open Toe Medical Compression Stockings, Waist High Opaque Compression Tights, Graduated Support for Varicose Veins, Edema, DVT, Post Surgery

The best thing about them is the compression they provide; they're very good quality. I love that they go from the base of the toes to the waist. The compression they exert is very good and they don't bother me at all.

I'll start with some positives, which is that these are thick and seem to be durable. They are advertised as being stretchy enough for pregnant women, which I was a bit skeptical about, but the stomach area is in fact stretchy enough that, at least at 20 weeks, they went over my belly comfortably. That said, the sizing for these is nuts. I'm a petite woman--I wear a small/ size 2 in pants. However, in these tights, the sizing chart told me I should order an XXL. I'm really confused about what size people significantly larger than me could possibly wear. Granted, I do have fairly muscular legs. Still. The tights seemed to offer the right amount of compression on my thighs and calves but lacked compression in the ankles and feet. So, maybe someone with different dimensions would do better in these. Also, I think you'd have to be *at least* 5' 6" for the length to work. I'm 5'4", and the tights kept bunching in the knee, which led to an uncomfortable amount of constriction, especially when I bent down. Felt like the veins at the back of my knees were being squeezed in an unhealthy way.

I'm very pleased with this purchase. These compression stockings are extremely durable and don't tear easily. My calf measures 19" around the widest part and the compression was nice and tight, and stayed that way up to the high thigh. So the compression will cover both legs fully. Hope this will be helpful to some.

I’m not sure I care for the black compression stockings because they’re not as easy to hide infer clothing as the nude color. The pair I received, the right foot bed was a lot looser and things kept getting stuck in it as I would walk, so I requested an exchange for a new pair. Hopefully they are better or I’m going to return and request an exchange for the nude color instead or I will just buy a different brand altogether.

Great for post surgery support.

If you’re flying you need compression stockings. And the longer the better. While these should be tighter than regular hose, you might want to size up as these do run a bit small. They are comfortable if you have the correct size. The compression of these is what you might want for a basic pair. If you travel a lot, you might want to look for a higher compression level. Oceanic travel can cause swelling in your legs even if you’re in good shape and of normal weight. If you are older, heavier or less than perfect health, you might encounter swelling that can be uncomfortable. Wearing compression stockings can help with this and make you feel better when you arrive at your destination. It can make a lot of difference. Most of the crew members on the planes are all wearing compression stockings. Try them before your flight to assure that they are the right fit and you’ll be more comfortable on your flight. These are a good pair and a good buy!

They do they job fits perfectly I'm buying 4 more pairs after washing they still compressed

Comfortable and helps with my mild lymphedema.
