Jobst Relief THIGH HIGH - Firm Compression 20-30mmHg M Open-Toe with Silicone Band Beige Open-Toe with Silicone Band Beige Large

I did not purchase these compression stockings for deep vein thrombosis, rather I purchased them for leg cramps that have been plaguing me for the last 3-4 months. I'm pregnant and it seems like no matter what I do to prevent the leg cramps, I still get them. They were worst in the first trimester then went away for a couple weeks... now in the second trimester they're coming back and I didn't want to suffer through them or use hot baths or a heating pad for temporary relief. I wanted something I could put on and leave on while I sleep to assure that my legs don't ache throughout the night.I had tried an ace bandage in the first trimester for the worst of it and found that compression worked really well. I had spoken with my OB about compression stockings and she said they were a good idea - so I finally broke down this month and bought these. I wanted something that will last awhile (I still have five months to go after all!) and offer the tight compression that I need to relieve the cramps. I had considered purchasing the next step up in compression but am glad that I chose these instead.Upon opening the box and pulling out the stockings, my first thought was: Are these really thigh-highs? Don't worry if they look a little short because they stretch as you put them on. Based on my measurements I could have purchased a medium, but after reading a review where someone had said they ordered the next size up instead to assure they stretched all the way to right bellow the butt, I decided that this was probably a good choice as well (the leg cramps do go throughout my legs all the way to my hips - I would have purchased one that would come up over my hips but I didn't think compression on my abdomen would be comfortable, especially through the third trimester). I measured again and checked the sizing for large and found that this should still fit and I'm really glad I chose the large.The compression on these is really tight! As they should be! A large was rather easy to put on (though more difficult than your typical thigh-high sock or tights - simply because they need to be tight to offer the compression). I love that the space around the heel is looser than the rest of the fabric, so you don't have uncomfortable compression on a spot with no give. There is also enough space in the footing that it does not compress my feet (which is good for me since I don't need compression here), but the stockings do come all the way down to the start of my toes (and almost to the knuckle on my littlest toe).Thus far I have not had any problems with rolling (this may be part of the benefit of having bought the next size up), and these are not uncomfortably tight on my thighs (in fact they have an appropriate amount of space in the thighs for me (I would not say I have overly small nor overly large thighs). The area with the anti-slip silicone bumps is quite wide (about an inch and a half or so), and I expect it to hold quite well. I have only been wearing these for about an hour and intend on wearing them throughout sleep so that will be the ultimate test (as I tend to toss and turn quite a bit).The material is also appropriately thick and as per my experience with this type of fabric and other compression garments, I expect it to last quite awhile before the compression loosens or the fabric tears. I'll be sure to edit this to note if or when either of these things occur... but honestly, as long as they last through my pregnancy, I'll be a happy camper (and I don't think they'll have any problem with that).I am so incredibly satisfied and look forward to the next five months without the horrible leg cramps.

Easy to put on, worked well.
