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.

The button to push may be too hard for an elderly lady or child to push to release the leg. Try some W40 - might work for a while.

The question cracks me up because here I am in a leg cast...anyway, back to how firm it is. It is just about perfect if you are looking to elevate legs in a cast, or if you have circulation issues. Would be great for people with varicose veins. There is minimal give; enough to put your legs on it and not have them roll, but enough firmness to make them remain elevated. I am a 5 foot 9 inch tall woman and it is just what I needed. I would not get w/out a cover as the material gets easily frayed. We had an old laundry bag and that worked perfectly as a cover so we didn't need to purchase one.

They're real easy to put on. The directions are easy to follow. It will need to be tuned

I buy these for my mother-in-law. She had polio in 1952 and has had to sit in a wheelchair since then. Her hips have spread pretty dramatically. The large Depend with tabs fits her the best of any that we have tried. The tabs on both sides make them easy to put on her and allow for a more custom fit than a pull-up or just one-sided tab. The tabs are pretty long which allows for about a 2" difference in the waist size. Hopes this helps!

No problems for me - I've sat on the floor with my lower leg under my upper leg for several minutes. Of course I'm 58 and weigh 150 pounds. These knee pads work the best for me and, believe me, I've tried many different kinds. I recommend them.

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.

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.

Hi Pam, sorry, I don't know if they do or not. I experienced calf muscle cramps while wearing them. They just were not for me.

The tabs are pretty big but smooth and go down easy. The only bad thing is that you would need to take 5 a day but they do work quite well for both my mom (70) and sister (50). Hope this helps.

They work great! You just follow the directions. The panel can be placed in different positions of your thigh to create different lifts depending on where you most need it. I wore them the other day, hot hot day and for 8 hrs - no problem except it takes a bit of scrubbing to get the glue reside off, but a small price to pay for a smooth looking leg!

I can't say for sure. I wear them because I have leg pain. I'm not sure if its from poor circulation or not, but they help tremendously. I would recommend you try them, it may help in your situation. I will say they run a little tight, so you might have to go one size up. Good luck!

Probably not I would try another kind with more stretch, I put them on my 11 year old and they were still small and hard to get on

very easy for me, they are very heavy, so when you don't use your muscles to hold them in, they will fall out with a little jumping or walking

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.

They are much easier to get on than full length panty hose compression stalkings. They're not much more difficult than putting on regular knee socks.

Yes...they are not collapsible and they fit one's specific height. I love mine, bought some for my 82 year old Mom...we are tall and the height specific size makes them fit nicely...
