Juzo 2002 Soft Closed Toe Thigh Highs w/ Silicone Band Border - 30-40 mmHg Petite Beige III

I have been wearing Juzo compression hose for 40 years. After trying other brands, I settled on Juzo based on the fit, comfort, and control of my primary lymphoedema. Juzo also gets high marks for appearance. Juzo makes a quality product that has been a large factor in successful control of my condition. I find Juzo Soft to be the most comfortable hose for all day wear, even at 30-40 mmHg. The silicone band works well to keep the hose in place. Over the years, the addition of more color choices has been an added plus from Juzo.

I like that it's possible to pull the Juzo Soft stocking up a little bit on the outside of the thigh. Not much, but a little. I think it makes a real difference in the swelling in my outer thigh. For years I used to wear the Juzo Varin knee high stocking and I really liked how it compressed my leg like a hug, but it's completely impossible to pull it up on the outside of the thigh and in fact I couldn't get the thigh-high version to stay up at all -- I had to pull it back up 20 times a day, even with the silicon band. With Juzo Soft it's less than half a dozen times a day, mostly only if I go up or down stairs or take an exercise walk. I miss the "hug" but the compression is working and the stocking is easier to get on and off, too. I also really like that Juzo has a "short" length between regular and petite -- in thigh-highs, getting the length right seems to be very important to avoid wrinkles behind the knee while coming up as high as possible on the thigh. My official size is "regular" but I've marked the "short" length as true to size because I'm not the only person I know whose officially measured size is "regular" but who finds that "short" works better.
