This product provides medical-grade Class 2 compression (30-40 mmHg). Medical-grade compression garments (20-30 mmHg and above) are commonly covered under Canadian extended health benefit plans (e.g. Sun Life, Manulife, Great-West Life, Blue Cross, Green Shield Canada) when accompanied by a valid prescription from your physician or nurse practitioner. It may also qualify as an eligible medical expense under the CRA's Medical Expense Tax Credit. We're happy to provide a pre-approval form for your insurance provider — just contact us before ordering. Coverage details, annual limits, and prescription requirements vary by plan, so please confirm your specific benefits with your provider and keep your prescription and itemized receipt for your claim.

Measure your ankle (cB) at the narrowest point just above the ankle bone, and your calf (cC) at its widest. Read your size off the chart below.

Silicone dot topband (NoB) grips securely at the top without slipping down.

Wash daily after wearing -- washing restores the fabric's elasticity
Hand wash, or machine wash on a gentle cycle between 30–40°C (86–104°F)
Use a mild detergent made for compression hosiery; never use fabric softener
Do not bleach or dry clean
Do not wring -- gently press out excess water in a towel instead
Turn stockings with a lace or crystal-motif band inside out and place in a laundry net before washing
Dry flat or tumble dry on a low/gentle setting; never dry in direct sun or on a radiator or heater
