How to Measure for Your Correct Size
1 Ankle Circumference (cB):
Measure around the narrowest part of your ankle, directly above the ankle bone. Keep the tape measure flat against the skin without digging in. This is the primary anchor point for graduated compression.
2 Calf Circumference (cC):
Measure around the widest, fullest part of your calf muscle.
3 Thigh Circumference (cG) - For Thigh-High, Pantyhose & Maternity:
Measure around the widest part of your upper thigh, approximately two finger-widths below the groin crease.
4 Hips & Waist - For Pantyhose & Maternity:
For standard pantyhose, measure around the fullest part of your hips. For maternity stockings, select based on your pre-pregnancy hip baseline; our maternity garments feature an expandable knitted abdominal pouch designed to grow with your belly.
5 Leg Length (lD / lG):
For Knee-High garments, measure from the floor (barefoot heel) to the bend behind your knee. For Thigh-High and Pantyhose, measure from the floor to the gluteal fold.

Best Practices for Putting On Compression Stockings
- Remove Jewellery: Take off rings, bracelets, and watches before putting on garments to avoid snagging threads.
- Dry Skin Only: Ensure your skin is completely dry. Avoid applying thick oils or body lotions immediately prior to donning.
- Do Not Bunch or Pull from the Band: Gather the stocking, place your toes and heel firmly into position first, then gently stroke the garment upward in smooth stages using flat palms or rubber application gloves.
- Maternity Fitting: Fit the legs first up to the groin, ensuring no twisting, then comfortably pull the specialized soft-knit abdominal support band over the bump.
