Works for compression hose without bruising the ankles
I've tried several types of sock aids for putting on compression hose, and this is the best of the lot.  The very soft ones work for a few months, but then the handles pull off the tool.  The semi-rigid ones don't break, but I wind up with huge painful bruises on my ankles because the sock aid squeezes so hard with the compression hose.<br /><br />This one, though, is very successful.  The heavy-duty rope handles hold up well to the kind of hauling to pull on a compression sock, the soft handles are comfortable, and the rigid plastic doesn't collapse inward to bruise my ankles.  It is a bit of a challenge to get a compression sock pulled onto the sock aid; for someone who has serious arthritis in the hands, or other problems with your hands, you will probably want to ask someone else to help with getting a tight sock put onto the sock aid.<br /><br />Pleased with this purchase, would recommend.
