This is for my 90-year-old mother to prevent leg cramps at night. Are they relatively easy to put on?

I know they are easier than the ted hose from the hospital. As long as your mother can put her socks on they should be fine depending on the circumference of her leg.

I wouldn't say they are hard at all. They hold their shape, but are soft to the touch Easy to move and make fit onto you. There are a few ways to put it on I found that pressing the tip down so it goes into itself then placing in you and when it pulls itself back to its original shape it draws you into it. these have been a life saver for me!!

I don't fid them to be all that flexible. I wear them at night to keep my wrists from curling while I sleep. Hope this helps.

Hello, I am taking these at bedtime for leg pain due to nerve damage as recommended by my doctor. I still get cramping in my feet on days that I have walked or hiked for a long time but most nights I don't have a problem. It might be worth a try. Good luck

Well, I get these for my mother who is 86 yrs old now, and she is able to get them down without a problem, as was I.

Sorry......these were for my mother-in-law and her legs are very slim. Now, she could not put them on. I had to do that for her. Nice and tight.

My husband and I both have a pair and they are easy, but I don't now if you keep taking them on and off a lot if they might stretch at the openings.I would give them a try

My 97 year old father-in-law didn't have a problem with them but he was pretty agile. If she can dress herself she should be able to put them on.

I can close them relatively easy and I am in by 50's and a women. My 17 year old son - has no problem takes about 2 seconds. Not much resistance.

It may be a little difficult for her. It takes a good bit of effort for me to get it in tight. I'm a 36 year old mother of two.

If you have arthritis, no. They are on there pretty tight. I'm 31 and I sometimes have trouble getting them open.

They're not bad, but not great. Depending on your hat size (mine is rather large) they do get to feeling a bit tight after two or three hours. By which time I'm generally ready to stretch my legs a bit anyway.

They are kinda in between, I would have to say, according to the feedback from my mother. She loves the fact that they do not "squeeze" her legs while providing just the right amount of pressure and comfort.

Yes, there is. They help stop leg cramps within five minutes of taking them.

Belly bands are easier to put on in my opinion. My parents use them for their male.

Yes..I first put a mattress pad over the mattress before I put the gel foam on and then put a fitted flannel sheet on top. My 90 year old mom loves it :)

Very easy, just stretch them over by hand. I have put on two pair and both went on with no problems and look great to this day, well worth the money
