Compression stockings are medical grade devices designed to move blood flow.Â
Support compression stockings are made available in multiple compression support levels. Most commonly compression support stockings come in mild (8-15 mmHg), Medium (15-20 mmHg), Firm (20-30 mmHg), X-Firm (30-40 mmHg) gradient compression levels.

The benefits of Compression Therapy are plentiful and the reasons vary from person to person why you may choose to wear compression socks or stockings. As shown in the above chart, some of the most prevalent symptoms or conditions that benefit from compression therapy are:
Pregnancy related swelling and vein problems
Varicose or spider veins
Lymphedema or edema
Swelling, pain or blood clots in the lower legs, also known as DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis)
Poor circulation from sitting for long periods
Post-surgical and post-sclerotherapy treatment
It can even be used as a preventive measure to maintain healthy legs for someone who spends extensive amounts of time on their feet. Quite simply, when we stand still for long periods, the forces of gravity increase the pressure within the veins of the legs where the greater effects happen at the ankle and decreases gradually up the leg and body. This pressure depends on the vertical distance of the column of blood from the heart to the foot. That's why gradient compression stockings are designed with the pressure greatest at the ankle and diminishing as it moves up the leg in order to counter the effects of the higher venous pressures.
Compression therapy products are put on in the morning upon arising, which is typically before any significant swelling would occur, and then removed at night. Throughout the day the compression prevents blood from pooling in leg veins, which in turn helps your overall circulation and lessens or eliminates any leg swelling you may have.
When shopping for compression socks or stockings, it is best to measure earlier in the day before swelling builds in the legs. Measurements taken later in the day after swelling occurs may cause you to choose an item that is too large and then not effective.
There are many types of compression socks and stockings available without a prescription and they do offer wide-ranging benefits. Before wearing a compression therapy of 20 mmHg (Firm Compression) and above, it is generally recommended to consult your health care provider to find out if graduated compression stockings are right for you. If the answer is yes, they can tell you what pressure grade you should buy for maximum benefit and relief.
What is the difference between soft and dynamic? Asked by vicki
The Juzo Soft is a thinner material than the Juzo Dynamic.
How tall of a person does the regular fit go up to? My husband is 6' tall. Asked by vicki
We determine the length by measuring from under the buttocks to the bottom of the heel. If this length is from 28 1/4-32 3/4 in or 72-83 cm the garment should fit.

I had already been sized for this product so knew exactly what I needed. I had ordered them through a business previously, but that stopped working out so I had to look else where. I found this site, the price was less and they had what I needed. Ordering was easy, they came quickly and fit perfect!

I have tried several brands after wearing 30/40 for many years that were measured and found the stock items better reduce my leg edema from a radical lymphectomy due to melanoma. I have worn all kinds, sizes and configurations for over 45 years. My best fit is the Juzo soft panty in short. It is still plenty long in the body, but the legs are great and don't bunch behind the knees and on the instep. I don't need compression on the other leg, but the panty garment stays put so much better and I have no varicose veins!
I have also helped a few other people find a fit for them and found by calling and talking to a rep very helpful.

Juzo Soft pantyhose are comfortable especially at the waist. The waistband is not as tight as other pantyhose and for those that have to sit at their job for 8-10 hours a day, this is important to consider. Nice transition from thigh to hip/waist. They're soft and a little easier to put on than other stockings I've tried, and this brand/model offers the most color options with open toe than any other brand. I was recently advised by my doctor that following my surgery, I will have to wear 30-40mmhg stockings daily. I've tried several different brands in an effort to find the most comfortable pair for me. Need to try the thigh-high. Juzo soft is an excellent choice.
