My stocking or soft support topband is not staying in place?
Ensure you have ordered the correct size for your measurements. This is very important. Also ensure you wash any residue, such as moisturiser or washing powder, off your topband. 

What’s the easiest way to apply my compression stockings?
We have a range of donning and doffing accessories available on our web shop to assist with stocking application. 

My stockings have laddered or are faulty?
We advise the use of rubber gloves when applying to prevent damage. We also recommend that you remove all jewelry until you get them on and that your toe nails aren’t too long. However, if you think this is a manufacturing fault please contact us.

My clinician has prescribed me class 2 (or class 3) stockings, should I wear Travel socks to fly?
You should wear the stockings prescribed by your clinician.

Why are Duomed Soft much cheaper than mediven hosiery?
