Question on compression garments

Question on compression garments

Hi folks I have a question about compression knee highs. I’ve been wearing Jobst knee highs while I waited for the flat knit knee highs to come via insurance. The flat knit arrived and both are pictured. Both are comfortable: I can wear for 12 hours and neither leave marks or welts. Can someone please explain why they appear so different in size? The flat knit look huge. Thanks in advance.

MLD video - looks helpful

This came across my Facebook feed and I thought this was very clear and helpful. It’s about ten minutes long. The YouTube channel has details on the therapist in the video. Hope it’s helpful to you!

Compression - consider marking w Sharpie

I’m new to this diagnosis and this community and have a low-priority suggestion: as you start buying compression knee highs, consider writing the size, date of purchase and brand on the garment with a Sharpie. I’ve seen two vein doctors and a lipidema physical therapist in the past 15 months. Each have recommended different brands of compression. Also, the date on the garment helps with knowing when to replace.

And thanks to everyone here - you guys have been so helpful.
