How to Put On Your Compression Stockings

By Hand

1. Put them on in the morning. Ensure your nails are trimmed and rings are removed.
2. Sit on a bed or chair with your leg bent at the knee.
3. Turn the stocking inside out to the heel.
4. Insert your hand to the heel, grasp the heel, and turn it right-side-out to the heel only.
5. Insert two thumbs inside the stocking, stretching it wide.
6. Pull the heel section onto your heel, ensuring proper alignment.
7. Create a small fold at mid-foot. Grasp and stretch this fold upwards, smoothing the stocking onto your foot and ankle.
8. Continue pulling and smoothing the stocking in 5cm sections, ensuring it’s wrinkle-free and the heel remains correctly positioned.

Using a Donning Aid (Butler)

1. Place the donning aid on the floor.
2. Hold the stocking with the heel facing you.
3. Stretch the stocking onto the donning aid up to the heel.
4. Insert your foot, placing your foot flat on the floor.
5. Pull the donning aid upwards until the stocking reaches your knee.
6. Remove the donning aid.
7. Smooth the stocking onto your leg.

How to Remove Your Compression Stockings

1. Gently grasp the top of the stocking and roll it down towards your ankle and toes.
2. Avoid pulling on the elastic band; instead, grasp the knitted fabric.

Important Notes

• If the stocking feels too tight, don’t pull it up further. Lower it and re-apply in sections, stretching more firmly.
• Gloves are recommended when putting on the stockings.
• For knee-high stockings, do not pull them above the kneecap.
• For stockings with a silicone band, avoid applying cream or ointment to the area where the band adheres.
• For tights and men’s compression garments, do not attempt to pull up the compression part if it’s not stretched sufficiently, as this may damage the seams.
• Do not cut the threads or labels to avoid unraveling.
• Wear as recommended by your doctor. If no recommendation is given, wear them in the morning and remove them in the evening.
