20-30 mmhg mild compression

Wearing your compression socks  

Wear your compression stockings all day. Your compression stockings should feel strong around your legs. You will feel the most pressure around your ankles and less pressure higher up on your legs. Put on stockings first thing in the morning before you get out of bed. Your legs have the least amount of swelling early in the morning. If you use lotion on your legs, let it dry before you put on the stockings. Use a little baby powder or corn starch on your legs. This may help the stockings slide up. Put on rubber dishwashing gloves. Use your hands to adjust the stocking and smooth it out. Wash the stockings each day with mild soap and water. Rinse and air dry. If you can, have two pairs. Wear one each day. Wash and dry the other pair. Replace your compression socks at least every 3 months so that they maintain their support.
