JOBST Relief Thigh High 15-20 mmHg Compression Stockings, Closed Toe with Silicone Dot Band, Medium, Beige

My mother-in-law said these were her favorite

Great fit.

I am a man who is 5' 7" tall and weighs about 140 pounds. I purchased a medium size and they fit like I want them too. I went by the guidelines shown and it worked out perfectly. I have included photos of the sizes of my ankle, calf and thigh for you to go by. Sorry if some of the numbers are upside down. It looked right to me looking down at it when taking the photos! These could fit a little lower on my leg, but I prefer them pulled up high. The compression seems just right for everyday use. A note for women... these are thick stockings and not a 'fashion' type, but that is not what they were designed for anyway. I have had spider veins treated in the past and wanted these to help prevent them. In my case, nobody will ever know I'm wearing them since I always wear jeans at work or in public, even though I am wearing shorts in these photos (around the house). I am familiar with this type of hosiery since I had to wear tighter ones when I had sclerotherapy done several years ago. The higher compression ones would make my ankles hurt after hours of use. These are not quite that tight and should be much more comfortable at work when I want to use them. These Jobst stockings are heavy weight weave and have good stitching at the top as you can see from one of my photos. A tip for men interested in this type of stocking...get used to shaved legs. Not shaving looks funny through them especially the tan colored ones if you have thick, dark hair, but they do come in black. However, not shaving with support stockings can promote more ingrown hairs, so it is up to the individual taste and experience with your own hair as to which way to go. Final note: I have only had these for one day, but they have had no trouble staying in place. If anything changes in this regard after wearing them a while and even after washing, I will update. UPDATE 1: have worn these three times now for 9-12 hours each time. Have had absolutely no slippage.

I have large legs for my small size. I have bought many styles of support stockings. None have ever fitted my short stature. Finally these support stockings are a perfect fit! They are comfortable and do not slide down my legs. I have worn them for over 10 hours a day for 5 days and have never had any problems wearing them. They wash on gentle cycle & air dry perfectly. No lose of strength or fit. Perfection!
