Donning Aids
Getting a firm compression stocking on is half the battle — donning aids exist because the garment only works if it's actually worn. Sliders and frames like the Sigvaris Doff N' Donner, Sim-Slide and Melany hold the stocking open or let it roll onto the leg instead of being hauled; the Magnide On/Off helps in both directions; Bauerfeind's VenoTrain Glider and Glider Plus do the same job for its stockings; and textile or latex-free grip gloves protect the knit from nails and rings while giving real purchase on the fabric.
If you — or the person you care for — have arthritis, limited grip strength or a bad back, an aid turns a daily struggle into a routine, and gloves alone make a surprising difference. Most aids work across brands unless a product page says otherwise.
