Sizes, colours and washing

Open Toe only, in Petite and Standard lengths, sizes I/XS to VII/XXXL, in Beige or Black. Take your measurements in the morning, before any swelling builds up. Wash at 40°C, and do not bleach, iron or dry clean. Most people find a donning aid helps with a Class 3 stocking.

It's important to get the right fit when it comes to compression garments. That's why Daylong Shop recommends that you contact a nurse, GP or pharmacist to ensure that compression hosiery is appropriate for you. If so, you will then need to be measured in order to obtain the correct size which will ensure that the garment works correctly and feels comfortable.

Compression hosiery may not be suitable for everyone. If you have diabetes, circulation problems, reduced sensation, fragile skin, heart failure or a diagnosed vascular condition, speak to a healthcare professional before using compression.
