medi Duomed Soft (BS CCL 1) Compression Stockings Below Knee Closed Toe Beige Large

I have been in compression stockings for 6 months provided by district nurses I need a couple of new prs as the old ones had developed ladders I was told I would have to have another Doppler sand legs measured again so I decided to purchase a pair I measured calf and ankle and saw the bs no was the same as I'd been wearing I had kept the box so could check it they are absolutely lovely the material seems silkier and softer than NHS they go on as easy as my old ones and look and feel lovely nurses have now ordered me 2prs NHS ones but I've ordered 2 more prs of new ones in case they run out. If you need compression stockings go no further these are the ones

Excellent product, nice smooth stocking material and tight but soft fitting top. In the XL size I found the foot size too big for my size 5.5 UK (38.5 European) feet. This resulted in creases around the top of the foot and ankle and some loose material at the toes. Next time I'd get the footless tights to avoid this problem.

Very good.

The stockings arrived promptly and appeared very similar to those supplied by the NHS. The fit was comfortable and they were easy to put on with the help of the appropriate device. Good value for money.

I was recommended this make by the hospital as easier to put on than most. Being disabled, I am putting these on one handed. I start by getting the foot on and pulling yje heel into place. That is the hardest part as the ankle part of the stocking has the tighest stretch. Once the foot and heel is in place, the leg part is much easier to pull up. They stay in place all day and really help with swelling, although it doesn't stop it complettely. When I rang up the company, to find out why one pair was tighter than the other, the helpful man explained that there were 2 levels of compression, and I had not noticed the CCL-1 and CCL-2 in the description. CCL-1 is not as tight compression as CCL-2, so I now have both pairs. It is obviously easier to get the CCL-1 stockings on than the CCL-2, so that is worth knowing for the future if I find the tighter ones too hard to get on. I also have bought the open toe stockings in this make. but find that they ride up from the toes more than I like, so I prefer the closed toes stockings myself.

I'm a bit thick and more than a little optimistic. I thought there would be 2 pairs in the pack, not just 2 socks. Do people sell 1 sock at a time? Is that a thing nowadays? The socks themselves are fine. I just feel a bit stupid.

Very compatible and easy to take off

Not as described. Hardly any compression at all. Just felt like normal socks. Very thin and flimsy plus they charged me postage to send them back. Will never use this company again!
