How much compression?

It was flexible enough to sleep in but firm enough I did not have to hold my stomach when moving around.

Save your money! Go for something else. This does not work, the fabric is so harsh!

It's not rigid so it's flexible but you can wrap it as tight as you can stand it. I would say moderate to light compression depending upon how tight you set it.

The product doesn't list compression values so your best bet is to check with your doctor. You may need to have them custom made by a medical supply company and your insurance may pay for them. One company I'm familiar with is Jobst.

I have found that the degree of compression is fairly strong but it does not cut off circulation to the foot or become bothersome.

A compression of 15-20 medium would not be the same as a 20-50 large. Size depends on height from ankle to knee and diameter of calf and diameter of ankle. Compression is the tightness of the fabric and you should get what your doctor ordered.

I think it is compression only after looking at the pkg. ,we got an Israeli kit that has bandages & coagulants

Yes, compression type. Still a big bag when compressed, but roughly equivalent to 2 sleeping bags.

You should be sized by your doctor. That way you are sure to get the correct size, as well as the right amount of compression. If there is too much compression, it can be really painful.

Depends on the area of the country. But normally 10 to 11 psi.But read the instructions and following them.

Fluffed it is over a quarter of an inch. Compresses to almost nothing. I used it to insulate drapes. Love them!

It will compress a little, because it has a soft liner. However, I'm not sure I would try to compact it to much so you don't compromise the integrity of the liner.

It all depends. For me, alot of my pain was from running with a heavy pack in the military. Do I have compression issues. That is the main thing you will benefit from. I used it regularly for 3 months and now I can just use it once a week. Seriously amazing

They are not exactly compression. They work very well to protect the crotch rubbing of the skin and the same shorts with skin and avoid burns when training. If they are snug, but not so much as a compression.

I just checked mine and at the end where it is more rigid it measured 5mm. Along the sides (where it wanted to compress) measured anywhere from 5mm down to about 4.85mm

1. Go to the Zensah website for sizing info. 2. These don't really provide 30-40 compression. At most they are 20-30. But you could try a smaller size for more compression. However, you risk not being able to get them on.

I got 2 XL legs and they are rather large. I have used them, but I don't feel that I get much compression. I have been meaning to contact the company to see if I can purchase a smaller size leg.

I compress as my method. Side squeezing is not effective or efficient. also they need a bit of product like an oil or cream.

All this will do is get the toe to heel started(does that very well). I would think you could just continue it on up to help but the compression are sooo tight sometimes. Might dig in..The compression stocks will still be a struggle
