Questions and Answers
Common questions about the Compression Pantyhose. Compression class and size are clinical decisions, so have them set by a qualified professional.
How do I choose the right size?
Sizing is by measurement, not by shoe or dress size. Measurements should be taken in the morning by the person fitting the garment. Available sizes: S, M, L, XL, 2XL. Ankle, calf, thigh and hip circumference, plus leg length, measured in the morning before swelling builds up. Check the size table on this page against your own measurement before ordering.
How do I put it on and wear it?
Put them on in the morning before the legs swell. Gather the fabric, work the foot in first, then draw each leg up in stages and settle the waist last. Smooth out every fold; a fold concentrates pressure.
Will it restrict my movement?
Worn like tights; movement is unrestricted. It should feel secure without pinching, sliding, or cutting off circulation.
How is this different from the other Bodymap options?
The pantyhose form covers both legs to the waist in one piece. A below-knee stocking stops under the knee, and a thigh-high stocking ends at the top of the leg with a silicone band.
How do I wash and care for it?
Hand wash in lukewarm water with mild detergent. Do not wring, tumble dry, iron or bleach, and keep it away from direct heat. Dry flat in the shade.
When should I stop using it and seek advice?
Compression garments must be selected and fitted by a qualified professional. Do not wear them if you have arterial circulation problems, an untreated infection, or sensation loss in the legs, unless a clinician has advised it.
