Frequently Asked Questions

How are JOBST Opaque stockings different from regular opaque tights?
Unlike fashion tights, these are medical-grade compression garments. They deliver clinically proven 15-20 mmHg graduated pressure to improve circulation and reduce swelling, whereas regular tights offer no therapeutic benefit and may even restrict circulation if too tight.

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 wear 15-20 mmHg compression stockings?
This moderate compression level is ideal for anyone experiencing tired, heavy legs, minor swelling, or early-stage varicose veins. For general guidance, see our compression levels guide.

Can I wear these every day?
Yes, they are designed for daily wear. It is often recommended to put them on in the morning and remove them at bedtime for consistent therapeutic benefits.

Will the opaque color be see-through?
No. The "Opaque" name refers to the fully concealing, non-sheer knit. It is designed to provide complete coverage and will not become transparent when stretched.

How should I care for my stockings?
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and lay flat to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners to preserve compression and fabric integrity.
