NURCOM 20-30 mmHg Compression Pantyhose for Women & Men, Open Toe Medical Compression Stockings, Waist High Opaque Compression Tights, Graduated Support for Edema, Varicose Veins, Swelling, Pregnant

I tried multiple brands and these were the only ones that worked for me. They have compression on my upper thighs which is what I needed. The top fits over a 6month pregnant belly without being to tight. The size chart is correct even if your size is larger than expected. My legs have not changed during pregnancy and I was an XL (5’3” 128lb pre preg, now 140lbs). I use them 2-3 10 hour shifts before washing and they hold up their compression.

The best thing about them is the compression they provide; they're very good quality. I love that they go from the base of the toes to the waist. The compression they exert is very good and they don't bother me at all.

No fault of manufacturer, I did not like the support pantyhose. I live in Florida and found I felt too hot wearing it. The material was stretchy and on the dense side so I think it would resist runs. It was easy to put on and remove.

I'll start with some positives, which is that these are thick and seem to be durable. They are advertised as being stretchy enough for pregnant women, which I was a bit skeptical about, but the stomach area is in fact stretchy enough that, at least at 20 weeks, they went over my belly comfortably. That said, the sizing for these is nuts. I'm a petite woman--I wear a small/ size 2 in pants. However, in these tights, the sizing chart told me I should order an XXL. I'm really confused about what size people significantly larger than me could possibly wear. Granted, I do have fairly muscular legs. Still. The tights seemed to offer the right amount of compression on my thighs and calves but lacked compression in the ankles and feet. So, maybe someone with different dimensions would do better in these. Also, I think you'd have to be *at least* 5' 6" for the length to work. I'm 5'4", and the tights kept bunching in the knee, which led to an uncomfortable amount of constriction, especially when I bent down. Felt like the veins at the back of my knees were being squeezed in an unhealthy way.

I'm very pleased with this purchase. These compression stockings are extremely durable and don't tear easily. My calf measures 19" around the widest part and the compression was nice and tight, and stayed that way up to the high thigh. So the compression will cover both legs fully. Hope this will be helpful to some.

Great for post surgery support.

They do they job fits perfectly I'm buying 4 more pairs after washing they still compressed

I’m not sure I care for the black compression stockings because they’re not as easy to hide infer clothing as the nude color. The pair I received, the right foot bed was a lot looser and things kept getting stuck in it as I would walk, so I requested an exchange for a new pair. Hopefully they are better or I’m going to return and request an exchange for the nude color instead or I will just buy a different brand altogether.
