How to properly wear
The most popular compression class of medical underwear is the second. Not always the patient is able to cope independently with putting on such linen. Its peculiarity is that it is impossible to assemble the fabric in an accordion and easily put it on the leg. Dressing can cause discomfort in people with high weight and in pregnant women in the late term.
For the patient's comfort a special butler device has been developed, it can be purchased in the same stores as compression underwear.
It is important to wear gloves when dressing, so as not to create puffs on the laundry. The product is worn on the dry skin of the feet. It should be worn in the morning, when the body is rested and there is no swelling.
Features of care
When using laundry, it must be washed daily. Small mote can damage the elasticity more than frequent hand washing. The laundry is washed only with hands at a temperature of water no higher than 40 and with baby soap. Machine wash is contraindicated, as is interaction with aggressive detergents.
The laundry can not be ironed, squeezed or bleached.
Knitwear can not be dried on batteries in dryers, exposed to direct sunlight or a hair dryer.
Personal Experience

Acquaintance with the products of Ofa happened during pregnancy. Before that, I never suffered from fatigue or swelling in my legs.
I bought compression stockings on the advice of the doctor and remained very satisfied because of a number of advantages: they are very beautiful, really effective prevention of puffiness, are relevant in the postpartum period.
The only negative - this is an inconvenience when dressing for a long time.
Elena, 30 years old
She bought Lastofa stockings in a specialized store. Products with an open toe, a shortened version. From positive moments I can distinguish good air exchange, at low temperatures stockings do not jump off, although I faced a similar problem when I was wearing products from other manufacturers.
When you wear, there is some inconvenience - presses the silicone rubber band, but overall it does not spoil the overall impression.
