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.

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

You will need to buy some Self adherent wrap (tape) at walgreens or something like it. The splint with tape will stay stay in place during the night. Good luck.

Yes it is very easy to put on. the sides are stretchy they are like a nylon blend with nice tight elastic all around. our mattress is 14" thick and it fit beautifully. Very good quality.

My 76 year old Mom is the user of this product. She is very sensitive and does not lay on it but uses it as a cover only. I did ask her if she thought she would feel them if she was to lay on it and she thinks she would.

I didn't try to sleep with them. This particular brand did not give me enough compression (I'm 145 lbs). But my 83 year old husband, who has skinny legs found the this brand tight enough to wear during the day that his legs didn't get as tired (he walks about an hour and a half). I prefer the compression socks with specific milliliter sizes, rather than those which are just small medium and large. I ecommended a different brand, responding to an Amazon question like yours and my answer was removed. Neither found the need to wear them at night.

Yes, it is. My mother is 96 and partly paralyzed. It is easy for her to get up with this. She loves it. She love the material also. It is warmer for her. And she doesn't slide on it. There is a back up battery that you can put in, in case of a power outage. It has a nice and slow movement, that doesn't scare her. When she is getting up. I also got this one, because it was for petite people. The size is great for someone under 5 feet.

My husband has been wearing these for years. He does sleep on his side and occasionally one falls out. However he did say it is important that they are put in properly. You need to roll them to the smallest size you can and then quickly insert in your ear. Then hold them for a few seconds to give them time to expand.

I would say yes. I used to work with the elderly and I cannot imagine any of them being able to put these socks on by themselves without lots of patience and difficulties...and for some it may be totally impossible to do on their own.

I don't think that would be a problem. They are not as hard to put on as the prescription type such as I had to have from the vascular after vein surgery,however they are not as easy as regular knee highs either. Good luck.

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 haven't used it that way but if the cramps start putting it on seems to ease them after about ten minutes.

It is as easy (or difficult) as other rash guard. I prefer to wear a very tight shirt beacuse I do not want that water get in while I am swimming. The fabric is great and it is easy to put on if you compare it with a neoprene one.

My mom is 84 next month and it is not hard for her to use at all. She uses a cushion on top. The only thing I can say negative is that it is not light and a little difficult for her to move if she wants to use it on different furniture.

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

I can not answer regarding age and ability to put them on and take off. You might need to have someone help you set it up the first time. i simply put the pump on a nearby table and slip on the leggings and zip. Each leg has a zipper for the full length, the hoses are long enough to make it easy to manuever, and it works very well. Highly recommend it.

I buy them for my 90 year old mom, who gets up about 3 times per night. I'm not sure if they would leak. My mom takes them off is they are the least bit wet. She hates feeling wet. I think the undearwear by the same company would be better. OK, so I just picked up the guide I have here for my mom for best protection for your needs by Depend. Depend Silhouette offer superior protection and the underwear offer maximum. Try this..go to depends website http://www.depend.com to receive a free sample and you be the judge. I received mom's last week. They will send you 3 sizes. The price is better here on Amazon though. I hope this helps. I buy them for my 90 year old mom, who gets up about 3 times per night.
