Compression knee highs don't have to look clinical — the Blue Jay Microfiber Moderate Knee Highs deliver 15-20mmHg graduated compression in a fashionable sheer microfiber construction that works for both work and leisure. The sheer appearance and beige color make them virtually indistinguishable from standard hosiery, encouraging consistent daily wear for users who want the therapeutic benefits of compression without the look of a medical stocking. Graduated compression helps relieve tired, aching, and swollen legs by promoting circulation from the ankle upward. The two-way stretch design provides extra comfort and conforms to the leg, and the comfortable non-binding top with wide comfort welt stays in place without digging in. Closed toe. Latex-free. 80% Nylon, 20% Spandex. Medium. Beige.
What is 15-20mmHg compression and what conditions is it used for?
15-20mmHg is classified as moderate compression — the entry level of therapeutic compression above mild support hosiery (8-15mmHg). It is commonly used for mild varicose veins, minor leg swelling and fatigue, prevention of leg swelling during travel and prolonged sitting or standing, and early-stage chronic venous insufficiency. It is available over the counter and is often the first compression level recommended for users who are new to compression hosiery. For more significant venous conditions, higher compression levels (20-30mmHg or above) may be more appropriate — consult your healthcare provider for guidance on the correct compression level for your specific condition.
How is this different from a standard non-compression knee high?
A standard knee high provides no meaningful compression — it simply covers the leg without applying graduated pressure. A compression knee high is engineered with graduated compression that is tightest at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg, which promotes venous blood flow from the foot and ankle back toward the heart. This graduated pressure is what provides the therapeutic benefit of reducing swelling, relieving leg fatigue, and supporting circulation. The Blue Jay Microfiber Moderate knee high provides this graduated compression in a sheer, fashionable construction that looks similar to a standard knee high.
How do I put on compression knee highs correctly?
Turn the stocking inside out down to the heel. Place your foot into the foot section and position the heel correctly in the heel pocket. Gradually roll or pull the stocking up the leg, smoothing out any wrinkles as you go — do not pull from the top, which can cause the stocking to bunch and create uneven compression. The stocking should lie smooth and flat against the leg with no wrinkles or folds, which can create pressure points. For users who find compression stockings difficult to put on, a stocking donner or applicator device can make the process easier.
How do I care for compression knee highs to maintain their compression?
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle in cool or warm water with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, which can degrade the elastic fibers and reduce compression over time. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat — do not wring or twist. Avoid high heat from dryers or direct sunlight during drying, which can break down the spandex fibers. With proper care, compression stockings typically maintain their therapeutic compression for approximately 3 to 6 months of regular daily wear before the elastic begins to degrade and replacement is needed.
