Frequently Asked Questions

How does the JOBST Stocking Donner work?
The device holds the stocking open like a wide frame. You place your foot into the toe, then use the long handles to pull the stocking frame up your leg. As you pull, the device releases the stocking onto your limb evenly and without excessive pulling.

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.

Which size Donner should I get: regular or large calf?
Choose based on the calf circumference of the person using it. The Large Calf model has a wider frame to accommodate larger stockings and limbs. Refer to the product's specific sizing chart for measurements.

Can it be used with thigh-high stockings or pantyhose?
It is primarily designed for knee-high stockings. While it may help with the initial foot and lower calf portion of thigh-highs, a different aid might be more effective for full thigh-high application.

Is it difficult to learn how to use?
Most users find it intuitive after one or two tries. We recommend practicing without time pressure. Many find it much easier and less strenuous than traditional application methods.

Does it work with all brands of compression stockings?
Yes, it is a universal tool and works with compression stockings from any brand, including JOBST, Sigvaris, Medi, and Juzo, as long as the stocking fits within the frame.
