Care and Maintenance
To prolong the life and effectiveness of your compression stockings, follow these care instructions:
- Hand Wash: Hand wash in warm water (below 30°C / 86°F) using a neutral laundry soap or detergent.
- Bleach: Use non-chlorine bleach only if necessary.

Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your compression stockings, consider the following:
- Discomfort or Rolling Down: Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the sizing chart. Improper sizing can lead to discomfort or the stockings not staying in place. Re-apply the stockings carefully, ensuring no wrinkles and the silicone band is flat against the skin.
- Reduced Compression: Over time, the elasticity of compression stockings may decrease. Follow care instructions diligently to maximize lifespan. If compression feels significantly reduced, it may be time for a replacement.
- Skin Irritation: If skin irritation occurs, ensure the stockings are clean and dry before application. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. The silica gel may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
