Properly fitting JOBST® compression garments should feel snug at first. It may take a few days to adjust to the pressure. Before you put on your stockings or arm sleeve review the Helpful Hints and Donning Methods.

Helpful Hints:

• Compression garments are easier to put on when you first get out of bed, before swelling occurs.
• Remove rings and jewelry that could damage your garment
• Use gloves (rubber or vinyl) to help position the garment on your leg
• Make sure your skin is dry before putting on your JOBST® hosiery
• Avoid rolling or bunching the fabric as this will create too much pressure in specific areas
• Apply a thin layer of cornstarch or powder to help the stocking (or sleeve) slide smoothly over your skin
• Apply moisturizer to your legs (or arm) in the evening - not just before putting on your garment

• Placing your stockings in a mesh laundry bag will help protect them during the wash cycle.
• Hand or machine-wash with warm water and mild soap or detergent. 
• No chlorine bleach. 
• Warm water rinse. 
• Hang or lay flat to air-dry. 
• May dry in a dryer on low heat or delicate setting
