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.

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.

My own mom is 88 and wears these pants all the time with fairly frequent changes (4 - 7 times per 24-hour period) due to urinary incontinence. She's been wearing them exclusively for over a year and has NEVER had an issue with chafing, sores or other irritations. They fit well (better than Depends), are very comfortable for her and are extremely absorbent. My mom loves them, and she can go anywhere without embarrassment. I hope this helps.

Yes, super easy in fact. The sides are more like spandex which makes it easy to put on.

That's a hard question to answer because it is all relative to what other compression hose/socks you've used before.I'd say they are a little harder to put on than the low compression hose out there. Definitely not as hard as the high compression Sigvaris or Jobst stockings. I use them everyday instead of using Jobst/Sigvaris with my normaldress socks on top of that. I use these as my dress socks and "kill two birds with one stone".

Yes my husband suffers from severe cramping. Legs and chest. These will offer relief.

I used talcom Or. I rolled them on.... Almost like putting on pantyhose. Lol. The tight fit is how they should be. Like extra skin.

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.

In addition to trying calcium/magnesium for leg cramps, try the Now Foods Apple Cider Vinegar capsules. Helped my stepfather's nighttime leg cramps.

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.

DEFINITELY, YES. I bought them for my mother, who is 95. She uses them on TOP of the sheets, and says they are very comfortable. They work great if she has an accident, and I just toss them in the washing machine when needed. That way you don't have to change the sheets every time.

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 :)

Not sure about leg cramps because I use it every night for leg pain and have no cramps. This is a great product and I cannot be without it at night.

I have never used them in the hospital. Mine work very well for me. I have the full length ones and had to get the additional adjuster to increase the overall leg circumference. My legs are quite large. It works best if I can devote a minimum of 2 hours per session. Four hours seems to be the maximum. By using them regularly, 5-6 times a week initially, I have seen great improvement. I now use them 2-3 time a week and have been able to maintain the progress gained. I wish you well:)

I haven't worn them myself, but my mother is very very fussy about things like that and she would tell me and also ask me not to get anymore, but she has got me to order another pair in case something goes wrong (old age) with the ones shes just got, so id say they're comfortable. she'd wear them most of the day to listen to tv

For sure.... I try them (i'm 36 and 165 pounds) and they work very well. The Gel make them very comfortable. Good Luck!

they are definitely hard to put on and take off until they wear in a bit - i struggled to get them off - and heated them with a hairdryer the next time and they were a bit easier - i can't say if it was because we had already had them off once or not. But i did heat them with the dryer (on low and not very close) and they did soften up a bit - be careful - the leg will do the same if you get too close! i am sure it is not something they suggest - so i can't say enough to be careful
