Anyone tried both 20-30 and 30-40 mmhg WAIST high stockings?

Tl;dr: was the difference huge?

Right now, I own both 20-30 and 30-40 mmHg thigh-highs and knee-highs. Overall I do prefer the 30-40mmhg ones, but gosh they take forever to put on 😭😭

I get brain fog from blood pooling and i definitely think waist high ones can help compress the upper thigh-hip-abdominal area, but ngl I think i'd be too annoyed to wear 30-40 WAIST highs..

I know there are abdominal binders but they don't cover the hip and upper thigh areas (if i pair them with thigh highs)

So i am just considering getting the 20-30mmhg waist high ones. But then if 30-40 is like much much better, i might just buy 30-40 ones?? Would love to hear your experiences, esp from those whose main symptoms are blood pooling and brain fog

2 hour drive away - Using UPS/FedEx?

No furniture. I think I will have around 10-ish medium-sized boxes (maybe less? no more than 15 for sure). Most of them are not heavy - just bulky.

I don’t have a car and don’t want to rent a vehicle because I haven’t been driving for a while, and I can’t trust my driving skills..

It will be from one apartment to another apartment.

I was thinking about just shipping everything via UPS/FedEx. Would this be the best choice?

I was also thinking about hiring a mover from TaskRabbit, but (please correct me if I'm wrong) afaik you need to pay for the round-trip travel, which I think would spike the cost too much?

I am also considering PODS or U-Box/UPack but these seem pretty expensive
