NuVein Medical Compression Stockings, 30-40 mmHg Support, Women & Men Thigh Length Hose, Open Toe, Black, Medium

High quality and great fit
I wear compression socks because I have a history of blood clots, and I prefer the knee high ones (I love truform size medium) but my doctor wanted me to try some thigh high stockings as they’re more effective. I love these!! I was so worried they would roll or slide down, but they stay firmly in place and there’s no discomfort around the top of the band, even for me as I have curvier thighs. I went with a medium as my measurements suggested with the size chart, even though my ankle measured smaller, and it fit perfectly (I’m 5’7″ and 165lbs). Tight and supportive, but not too tight for comfort. They are a little bit hard to put on, but so are any good compression stockings. Nature of the beast, unfortunately. These seem very sturdy and well made, I think they’ll last a long time. They can be put through the dryer, but I have learned compression socks last far longer if line dried. They dry fast, though, so no problem. My only complaint is that I wish the feet were a bit shorter. I don’t like when the end sits on my pinky toe, but if I scoot it back it either bunches in the arch of my foot or my heel is not in the right position. But it’s not too much of an issue, a very small thing just a pet peeve of mine (My feet are women’s size 7/8 for reference). All in all these are the best stockings I have found!!

Quality Product But I Couldn’t Use, They Cut Off My Circulation
I am new to the world of compression stockings but have tried a few.For me the thigh band areas on these were too tight. Even though at first felt ok on, within the small amt of time I had them on just to try them on, the thigh elastic bands had made a very uncomfortable physical dent in my legs that took like a day to go back down.Everyone’s body is different, so if you are very firm or more muscular in your legs like a man, these may be a good product for you. But if you are female and have softer thighs or swelling, etc., these may be too hard to wear.I wanted to use these, because they actually were the nicest ones I’ve tried on, and the inside of the elastic thigh bands are lined with tiny gel beads to comfortably grip your skin which hold up the stockings quite nicely. But on my body, the thigh bands were too tight. I ordered the largest size so not sure if it’s a manufacturing problem or what, but if the size is larger so should be the thigh elastic part.The stocking part was comfortable. Not buttery soft like some other brands I’ve had, but did feel great once on. I was concerned though that as I tried them on, the seams at the heel which provides the heel cup were already looking very stretched, so not sure how long that sesm would hold up long term.The foot area fit very well and I liked the open toe feature of these for when I wear birkenstocks.All said they are a good quality stocking, just make sure you’re able to handle the tightness of the thigh bands. Imo I think, although they did look super cute on me lol, they’re probably more suited for a man’s firmer thighs.Also the photo is accurate but imo kind of tricky to see if they are thigh highs or full leg stockings that go up to your waist. So they should change out the photo to make it more clear. Right now at 1st glance it looks like they took a photo of a full stocking and just cut the top half off.

Probably not truly 30-40 compression
I bought the 30-40 strength and I highly doubt that is what strength they are. I have a prescription for 30-40 and have worn them from medical suppliers for over ten years, I bought these trying to save a little money but they are not medical grade. If you just want some light compression they are decent as they stayed up on my thighs and didn’t create any tender spots for me. The beige color truly matched my skin so, I loved that. I also loved getting to have my toes out. I wear these just around the house when I’m not standing much, figured a little compression is better than none for me. When I’m out and about and on my feet for a while, I go back to my medical grade compression hose.

The look and fit is as described + they stay up well. Unfortunately, I had a reaction to the upper band due to an allergy, don’t let this deter you unless you have an actual allergy too, I’m wearing them inside-out without issue so it’s still a great product.

In Singapore, it’s tough to find similar products that fit Western legs- especially for women like me, who are a bit too thick! I recently had a total knee replacement, and these have been a godsend. The fabric is tight like it should be, but they are easy to get on, comfortable, don’t roll much (unless I’ve left them on too long), they aren’t itchy or scratchy, and although they are a bit thick, even without aircon on they don’t feel too hot or make me sweat. I like them so much, I’ve bought another pair!
