Do not dangle your legs over the bed to put them on. If any part of your leg or foot is swelling below the lowest point of the stocking, remove the stocking. This means that if your toes are swelling quite a bit, take the stocking off. If you find the stocking texture uncomfortable or irritating, try wearing it inside out. Don't put on socks or leggings first then cover it with the compression stocking, it doesn't work.
All stockings have a tendency to ride down because of gravity and body movement.
Watch carefully for folds, buckling and so on. You can cut off your circulation by improperly worn stockings. Hosiery can buckle behind the knee when you sit. Knee-high hosiery is particularly bad at doing this. You must avoid this because it acts as a tourniquet.
