I have been wearing thigh high compression stockings with silicone band, but I have developed an allergic reaction to the silicone, what can I do?

Getting a reaction or irrigation from your compression stockings is not fun. So here are a few things you can do to fix that.

You can switch wearing thigh high compression stockings to wearing either a waist high compression stocking (pantyhose or men’s leotard), or a knee high compression stocking.

Please note! If you are choosing to go from a thigh high to a knee high, make sure that the knee high is providing you with the adequate support. If you need compression on or above your knee, do not switch to wearing a knee high. The knee high compression stockings will not support your legs properly. Consider wearing a waist high compression stocking such as a pantyhose or a men’s leotard.

If you are going to stay with the thigh high, you can choose to wear a thigh high without a silicone top band. If you are concerned about the top slipping down, try using It Stays body adhesive. Just a little bit on the skin is enough to hold your compression stockings up on your thigh. It’s also water soluble so it comes out with a little warm water and gentle soap. To order a thigh high without silicone top band, please contact the LegSmart.com Customer Care Team at support@legsmart.com.
