You can find the products sizing chart at the following link: http://www.foryourlegs.com/skin1/images/vairoxchart.jpg You will need to know your leg measurements to determine an appropriate size.

Just kinda go with what size you are.I am a recent parapalegic I have to wear them every day the rest of my life.I was 6 foot 2 when I landed in chair I use a large.I think there measuring is kinda hoopla.If you are small get small,large get large.Just remember they are compression stockings.They must work right.They are very helpful,but they can also be damaging.

As I recall the website for Limbsaver lists the dimensions of their pads. You'd then have to measure your stock

You know, I'm really not sure! I would just assume it's showing the box the different sizes come in? Perhaps you should stick with the Large - it actually shows the picture of the stockings. Every time I bought some, I just clicked the Large!

We didn't keep this device as it didn't really work for us. It may work for some. I suppose if you are creative you might be able to use it for removal, but I can't imagine that it would help. Can you just roll them down? I realize the stockings are tight and it would be nice to have help, but I can't imagine that this would make it easier. You would have to stretch the top part enough to put it back on the donner while your leg was still in the stocking. I suggest going to a local medi-supply place and seeing one in person. That should answer all your questions.

The canvas is 13 inch x 20 inch and the finished stocking is 16 inches. It doesn't say how much room you'll have on the inside of the stocking but I'm thinking if you cut the felt backing bigger than recommended (which is what I'm going to do) you'll have a bit more room.

I agree about going down a size.I think you could talk to the CompressionZ company-responsive they will help you with size and usage.

Bythe ease or difficulty you may have in putting on the stocking.Also, you can measure your let at ankle, calf, etc. and compare measurements as shown on package

Karen, I believe they are basically "one size fits all." The different designations, for example "20-30mmHg" refer to the pressure that the stocking exerts on the leg measured in millimeters of mercury. I'm afraid the whole point of these stockings is that they be "binding." That is to support the veins in your leg. Hope this helps you.Jack

Hi, Darlene -They go by shoe size (for example, medium would be 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 shoe size) If you go to the page for these socks, it gives you the shoe sizes for each stocking size. If I can help you in any way, please let me know.

If you have clots, these compressions would be too tight for you. I do not recommend purchasing, rather to find stockings that are only knee high. You can find those at any surgical supply store.

We did exactly that. We used a dremel and cut them down to the size we needed. Make sure you only cut the bottom of the inside and top of the outside leg when doing the adjustment. Works fantastic!

I forgot the measurement point at which sizing goes from small to medium. My measurement was right at that point. I got medium. They are very snug and meant to fit that way for compression. The fingers are long. I had to work them at my fingertips to be able to type. I'm thinking medium for you.

Mid-thigh on my leg is 17 inches (circumference) and 5 fits fine so 5 should be good for you as well. This stuff STRETCHES a great deal and is not real tight like a compression stocking. Good luck with it.

Try this sight for answers to this question. FYI the Vairox is the best stocking I have found for "ease of putting on".http://www.compressionstockings.com/jobst-vairox-3040-mmhg-knee-high-open-toe-compression-stockings-with-zipper-p-539.html

we use a small tank compressor that get up to 60 lbs pressure. It is a light weight one that I can carry around my sewing room.
