Frequently Asked Questions

How do donning gloves make putting on compression stockings easier?
The gloves provide a high-friction surface that grips the stocking fabric much better than bare hands. This allows you to pull the garment up your leg with more control and less slipping, reducing the physical effort required.

How do I choose the right size for knee high compression stockings?
Accurate measurement is crucial for effective compression and comfort. Please refer to our detailed compression stocking sizing guide.

Who should use donning gloves?
Anyone who finds it difficult to put on compression stockings due to stiffness, arthritis, weakness, or simply the tightness of the garment. Caregivers also find them incredibly helpful.

Can the gloves be washed?
Yes, they are machine washable. Wash in warm water with mild detergent and tumble dry on low. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Do they work on wet or lotioned skin?
They are most effective on dry skin. If skin is moist or lotioned, dry it thoroughly first for the best grip.

Will these gloves work with all brands of compression stockings?
Yes, they are a universal tool and work effectively with any brand of compression garment, including JOBST, Sigvaris, Juzo, and Medi.
