The model is so skinny,of course they will be easy to put on. How do you get them on legs that are swelled, with fluid?

[@markomarinkovic7634]

Thanks for the Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you researched - Patlarny Games Earning Principle (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for treating varicose Veins without the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my good mate called Gray at last got amazing success with it.

Compression stockings are very difficult to wear by yourself. I found this very helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp2amnqcptBmqbM It takes less than a minute to put on.

I’m a big girl 275 ibs , and thanks no more struggle, if your legs and ankles are swollen you may need to go to a orthopedic doctor for measuring that’s what I did

[@lorilee1931]

Hi, my doctor told me to lift and hold my leg up on the wall for 10 min before putting them on, and press up the blood (swelling) from the ankle toward the knee while holding the leg up straight on the wall. I also do this before sleep for 30 min. It moves the blood from your leg, up. Also, losing weight helps a great deal. Hope this helps.

[@jimmy2060]

very easy when you are young, at 80 it is difficult to do these things, I am 6'2" and reaching my feet is a job in it self. put an old person in place of the young woman and re show this video

[@BA-vb4mt]

Yes!!! Model from real life with real issues!!!

[@jpvanden1]

Pretty easy when you have low compression stockings and slender legs. How about high compression stockings on legs which more typically need compressing?

[@libation14221]

Why not use a 14 year old gymnast to demonstrate donning these!

[@lancewaddell-smith3170]

Looked like a good method but I can’t fit my hand in the stocking 🤷‍♂️

[@maxtheknife]

You would think if they are able to build self-driving cars, someone would be able to come up with simpler solution for putting on compression stockings for all types of people.

[@PHanomaly]

And..put a man on the moon, lol!

[@s1udgeguts]

There are other solutions - but they are pricey. Also, I find that I can go to shops where I can look at these solutions but I cannot trial them (cross contamination issues - I wonder how they managed with door handles etc during covid?)

[@grantpiper6241]

Now put em on someone that actually represents someone that needs stockings. Course she isnt going to struggle putting them on. My forearms thicking than her entire leg

[@sarahgernannt]

Someone that needs stockings? People of all sizes and ages need compression socks for various reasons.

[@leeleeturn]

These are compression socks, not compression stockings! I have to wear compression stockings that come to the top of my thigh, and I want to know the best way to put them on, and the most gently, so they'll last. surely I'm not the only one?? All the videos I see are just for the socks.

[@stebarg]

Although you've obviously cut the clip, it still looks fake. That leaves the impression this technique/ process is still very difficult especially for your target audience.

[@elizabethatkinson322]

I found this really helpful putting compression socks on my husband’s lower leg - he doesn’t have swelling but his calves are quite chunky. Thanks for showing the technique.

[@carolleathern4685]

Put a small silk scarf over the foot and see how easily the stocking glides onto the foot. Then pull out scarf and take stocking further up the leg

Thank You! Fantastic advice.

[@s1udgeguts]

Easy if you can bend. For me, the closer my hand gets to my foot, the more painful my leg becomes

[@somps]

The problem for many of us is 1. We can’t bend that well and 2. It’s still not easy to get our foot in and our feet are swollen as well

[@s1udgeguts]

EXACTLY. Annoys the heck out of me when I see someone who is more than capable of putting on socks 'demonstrating' the easy way of doing something!

[@saktiranjanbarua7055]

How long will usually wear compression socks inlay time

[@somps]

@@saktiranjanbarua7055 I stopped wearing compression socks as I found, for me, they weren't working so well... on top of how difficult they are to put on. Fortunately, my insurance covers me gettin g my legs wrapped at the wound care center. It started with a blister that turned into a small wound. They wrapped it and left it on for a week. It was a 4 layer wrap instead of a 2 layer wrap. The wound healed but also, my legs looked normal for the first time in ages. After a few days, they started swelling again. Turns out, the swelling is a side effect of a medication I must take. Long story short (trust me, it's long) Itrieed the 2 layer wrap to no avail. Now, I do the 4 layer wrap and I have it done 2 days before my medication that I take every 2 weeks. So, I have them wrapped on Friday afternoon and I take it off Wednesday morning. this is 4.5 days wrapped and 2.5 days unwrapped. My legs look normal and I don't have to worry about swelling. Also, it seems to have healed my vein issues. For anyone about to go in to have your vein. in. your leg cauterized, trey having it wrapped one to two weeks. It might save you some heartache. The doctors first choice is to cauterize. $$$$. Do they really care about us? Anyway, I'm not sure if this helps. Sorry.

[@jemimapearson6804]

I can't get them over the ball of my foot and get dizzy bending even when sitting.

[@s1udgeguts]

3. Many of the devices don't hold the sock open wide enough to get a foot in. I also find that even the best device I have tried, I can get a dock partway up my leg before the applicator device starts being painful because it is too small for my huge leg. Then, once on, the sock does a great job of rucking up into a crease between my foot and leg, making the crease so much deeper. Of course, the deeper the crease gets, the more the sock pulls into it!

[@jemimapearson6804]

I can't even get them over the ball of my foot. I fainted this morning bending over (yes i was sitting) and banged my head. Not a good start. Phoned the hospital which prescribed them to be told I had to persevere. My carer has experience of helping people put these on and he was also unsuccessful.

[@bertaga41]

This is silly. She glides the stockings up her leg and they slide up when I do it I have to use every ounce of my strength to keep the top of the stocking open and because it's double thickness folded over I cannot pull it up my leg.

[@anulazar6195]

Exactly

[@alenac.3934]

All these videos are useless, first of all they use a model with very slender legs. I also believe they demonstrate with the stockings that are bigger in size then she would normally need because there is absolutely NO WAY she would get them on so quickly and easily. I have the thigh high stocking that I have to wear after my laser surgery and the nurse who put them on me after the surgery really struggled with it. I struggled to remove them last night and I have no idea how I will get them on tomorrow.

[@janecafarella4947]

What a joke! These stockings are the mildest and aren't being worn by anyone with physical disabilities. Try a class 2 pantyhose that feels like a wetsuit.

[@evipapala8549]

so difficult to put them on and off! I fix my leg and destroy my thumb :(

[@susanmetz9892]

Get real. Most people who truly need compression stocking are overweight or obese people like myself. Get a plus size model to demonstrate.

[@karenterech600]

So unrealistic!!!

[@VANEPS7]

I can hardly reach my foot let alone put on this crap.

[@craigbond7877]

Why do all the people demonstrating how to put on these compression socks have the skinniest legs of anyone?

[@sullivanspapa1505]

purchased TED stockings for the wife, purchased on amazon and other online sites, no problems; UNTIL we ordered from compressionsales total scam no returns even with complete sealed original packaging. their products lasted for two wears and they failed!

[@TheDinger]

This is absolutely useless to me. Can't see the point of compression socks like these that hardly supply any compression. Decently tight compression socks are not this easy to put on

[@Amazing-Sports793]

Thanks for making this short and to the point.

I paid $70 dollars per pair I would like to pay less

[@petercarter6730]

what is the strength of the stockings in the video. 15-20 or 20-30

[@stitchnmouse]

+Peter carter They look more like 20-30 to me. The 15-20 I've worn are not this thick.

[@janettempest716]

What about tights to stop moving down the gusset keeps moving down

[@garys1630]

They make some with zippers on the side which should help a lot. I ordered some from Amazon, and Wal-Mart carries them also. Kind of expensive tho about $24 for 1 pair!

[@badthings6552]

Thanks so much!

[@samirkorkis5160]

very helpful

[@Cigar65]

These things are a morning struggle. I have to use powder on my foot first. Even doing what she says in the video they don't go on that easy. The ones this lady is using are likely well worn. I just started a new pair this morning and they are like trying to get a elephant through a key hole. Eventually after 15 minutes I got them both on.

[@genebruce7491]

Do you have the right size compression socks based the ankle and calf measurements. It seems that all the manufacturers use different measurements for Small, Medium, Large, etc.?

[@s1udgeguts]

The person in the video looks like she doesnt even need stockings. Try this with someone who has legs like tree trunks.

Good video .. The problem with compression stockings is that people's legs and feet vary greatly .. I was measured for mine and do find them very helpful in reducing leg ulcers. However they are too long .. I have to not pull them up nearly as far as they will go the heel of my stocking is usually about midway of my foot and it gets quite uncomfortable there. They are too tight on my foot and around my toes so I stretch that part out.. Stockings don't do an ounce of good if they are too uncomfortable to wear.
