This product provides mild, over-the-counter compression (10-15 mmHg), below the medical-grade 20-30 mmHg threshold. Canadian extended health benefit plans (e.g. Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Blue Cross, Green Shield Canada) generally reserve coverage for medical-grade compression of 20-30 mmHg or higher with a prescription, so this item is not usually eligible. If reimbursement is a factor, please confirm your plan's terms with your provider before ordering. We're happy to prepare an itemized estimate for your insurer — use Get an Insurance Estimate for this item, or add several to your cart and request one for everything at once. No charge, and it's not an order.

Measure first thing in the morning, before swelling builds, with the tape snug but not tight.

Max is the same size widened through the waist and hip, with the same leg — take it when your waist and hip fall into the next size but your legs do not.

Check the size chart below. If your measurements don't fit a size on it, contact us and we'll help.

Wash after every wear, which maintains the compression and keeps the garment hygienic
Hand washing is recommended; you may machine wash on the gentle cycle in lukewarm water up to 40°C (104°F)
Turn the garment inside out and place it in a laundry net before washing
Use a mild detergent; never use bleach or fabric softener
Rinse well and air dry; do not tumble dry, iron or dry clean
Store at room temperature in a dry place, away from light and direct heat
Alternate two or more pairs, and replace them after about six months of daily wear, as compression diminishes with wearing and washing
