- JOBST Relief 20-30 mmHg Thigh High Compression Stockings with Silicone Band, Open Toe, Beige, Medium

I did not purchase these compression stockings for deep vein thrombosis, rather I purchased them for leg cramps that have been plaguing me for the last 3-4 months. I'm pregnant and it seems like no matter what I do to prevent the leg cramps, I still get them. They were worst in the first trimester then went away for a couple weeks... now in the second trimester they're coming back and I didn't want to suffer through them or use hot baths or a heating pad for temporary relief. I wanted something I could put on and leave on while I sleep to assure that my legs don't ache throughout the night. I had tried an ace bandage in the first trimester for the worst of it and found that compression worked really well. I had spoken with my OB about compression stockings and she said they were a good idea - so I finally broke down this month and bought these. I wanted something that will last awhile (I still have five months to go after all!) and offer the tight compression that I need to relieve the cramps. I had considered purchasing the next step up in compression but am glad that I chose these instead. Upon opening the box and pulling out the stockings, my first thought was: Are these really thigh-highs? Don't worry if they look a little short because they stretch as you put them on. Based on my measurements I could have purchased a medium, but after reading a review where someone had said they ordered the next size up instead to assure they stretched all the way to right bellow the butt, I decided that this was probably a good choice as well (the leg cramps do go throughout my legs all the way to my hips - I would have purchased one that would come up over my hips but I didn't think compression on my abdomen would be comfortable, especially through the third trimester). I measured again and checked the sizing for large and found that this should still fit and I'm really glad I chose the large. The compression on these is really tight! As they should be! A large was rather easy to put on (though more difficult than your typical thigh-high sock or tights - simply because they need to be tight to offer the compression). I love that the space around the heel is looser than the rest of the fabric, so you don't have uncomfortable compression on a spot with no give. There is also enough space in the footing that it does not compress my feet (which is good for me since I don't need compression here), but the stockings do come all the way down to the start of my toes (and almost to the knuckle on my littlest toe). Thus far I have not had any problems with rolling (this may be part of the benefit of having bought the next size up), and these are not uncomfortably tight on my thighs (in fact they have an appropriate amount of space in the thighs for me (I would not say I have overly small nor overly large thighs). The area with the anti-slip silicone bumps is quite wide (about an inch and a half or so), and I expect it to hold quite well. I have only been wearing these for about an hour and intend on wearing them throughout sleep so that will be the ultimate test (as I tend to toss and turn quite a bit). The material is also appropriately thick and as per my experience with this type of fabric and other compression garments, I expect it to last quite awhile before the compression loosens or the fabric tears. I'll be sure to edit this to note if or when either of these things occur... but honestly, as long as they last through my pregnancy, I'll be a happy camper (and I don't think they'll have any problem with that). I am so incredibly satisfied and look forward to the next five months without the horrible leg cramps.

These are great! There is a huge difference between these compression stockings and most of the other ones that are currently available on here, as these are actually medical grade and of a much higher quality. I am 5’4” and my leg measurements fall within both the small range and the medium range. I went with the mediums because I was worried about having muffin top at the top of my thighs so wanted a little extra room. I still have a little bit of muffin top, but not as much as I do with the cheap brands. They’re really quite comfortable and I notice a huge difference in how my legs feel when I wear these. I was also really surprised at how much they help with muscle recovery after working out. I also wanted to address some of the issues I saw mentioned in other reviews. I kind of like the faint lines that go up the front because they help me make sure I’m putting them on straight, but I’m also not planning to wear them out anywhere as I work from home and wear them during the day. If you bought a different style that you really liked, then I’d suggest sticking with that style; a different style is going to be…different. And finally, if they are baggy at the ankles and won’t even go up to mid-thigh, you clearly put them on wrong and need to try again.

These do not roll down.. the fit is perfect.

This is my second purchase of true compression hose as I am trying to find hose comfortable, efficient, and with a good price point. The first purchase was from a different brand, which are a bit scratchy. The Jobst Relief are comfortable next to my skin, and do not scratch. (Older skin is sensitive.) Upon opening I noticed the sewing loose on the band of one of the stockings, but stitching otherwise seemed intact. I chose the open toe because footless are not available, but in the future will choose closed toe as the hose do shrink and tighten as the day wears on. The thigh-high also slide down after a very short time, and I have slender legs. I put water on the thigh under the band and it helps the hose stay in place better. My measurements: 155 lbs; ankles = 8.25; calves = 14.5; and thighs = 20 inches. As expected they are tight to pull on, and I use doning gloves to pull the hose on, and am careful not to pull on the band when pulling the hose. I do have a concern about the percentage of Spandex in the hose, and it does not seem consistent from one vendor to another, compression being anywhere from 23% to 28%. The seller was responsive to my question about Spandex percentage, and this pair is advertised at 28%. My concern is that a pair with 23% Spandex may have inconsistency in fit and compression-feel. I am happy with the hose and the compression, but do require a garter belt to keep them from slipping at the thigh. I have venous insufficiency, and need the thigh compression to assist with pain, and may try the pantyhose so that I can ditch the garter belt! I really like the Jobst brand compared to the one I initially purchased, and probably will not try another brand. I am pleased with this purchase. I have to decide which other pair I will order, pantyhose, or thigh-high. I would not hesitate to reorder from this vendor.

They really work. I have venus reflux above the kneee. My knees are usually swollen. The stockings fit perfectly. Since I started wearing, I can literally feel my blood moving up my leg and throughout my body rather than pooling at my knees. I wear them every day. My knees are much less swollen in just 3 days of consistent use.

Support Toe less Stockings. This is a least my 2nd purchase of this product. I have purchased knee high as well. They gave have been wonderful for me as needed to wear after numerous leg vein surgeries. Also when I have leg/feet cramps. I’m scheduled for 5 surgeries in the next 2 months before New Year’s as Medicare may not pay for any more procedures. Recommend for customer purchase! The toe less is the greatest as easy to put on/off!

I've been wearing Jobst for decades, 3 weeks out of the box and they sag bag and fall down. Bottom line these are garbage. I bought 3 pair and am out a bunch of $$, Don't waste your $$ on this product number. They are sooo bad I even doubt they are Jobst product.

I purchased these for post surgical use. I had purchased two at our pharmacy and they stayed up, were firm support. NOT the two I ordered from Jobst On Amazon. The band is loose and doesn’t grip thigh, they slide down and bunch - which can cause blood clots and they were purchased to prevent blood clots. Very disappointed in these.
