The JOBST® Graduated Therapy thigh-high stocking provides 20–30 mmHg firm graduated compression from ankle to upper thigh. Its closed-toe design and stay-up construction make it suitable for daily wear when moderate-to-firm leg support is needed.
This ready-to-wear style is often used for moderate varicose veins, post-sclerotherapy recovery, travel-related circulation support, and mild-to-moderate edema.
Who Is This For?
This stocking is a good fit for people whose symptoms stay below the hip but extend above the knee, including thigh discomfort or swelling. Consult a healthcare provider to confirm 20–30 mmHg is right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will thigh-high stockings stay up without a garter belt?
Many thigh-high styles include a silicone band or knit top designed to stay in place. If rolling is an issue, a garter belt or waist-high style may help.
Can I wear thigh-highs if my swelling is only below the knee?
Yes, but knee-high stockings are usually sufficient when symptoms are limited to the calf and ankle. Thigh-highs are helpful when concerns extend above the knee.
Do I need a prescription for 20–30 mmHg compression?
Many ready-to-wear 20–30 mmHg garments are available without a prescription, but this compression level is often a clinical decision. Ask your provider.
How do I measure for thigh-high stockings?
Measure ankle circumference, calf circumference at the widest point, and thigh circumference at the widest point. Use all three measurements with the JOBST® size chart.
How tight should 20–30 mmHg feel?
Firm and supportive, but not painful. Numbness, tingling, or skin color changes mean the fit may be wrong.
When should I replace these stockings?
Replace every 3–6 months with regular wear, or sooner if the fabric feels loose or the compression feels reduced.
