Keeping Compression Stockings Up... Any Ideas?

[booker81]

I had to wear those buggers - mine were just the hose cut to length, and I had to wear a pair one size from knee down, and the next size from knee to hip. The hip ones always rolled, and I just did the weird "unrolling" to get them up. I'm sure it was comical.

I wish I would have thought to get a garter belt.

Now, I just wear the knee down ones, don't have an issue.

It Stays Body Adhesive is designed for this and is sold by Discount Surgical Stockings. The link is above. It's around $7 a bottle and works like a charm Easily washes off with water. Works great for thigh high hose as well for those of us who hate garter belts

I do remember seeing CW reenactors wearing those rolled rubber bands for their thigh stockings. Worked quite well for them. I can not remember what they are yet.

Thank you everyone for your responses. I ended up getting a new stocking because I found out I was putting them on wrong. The guy at the medical supply place taught me how to put them on correctly. You shouldn't pull them up from the top, but rather roll them up. They fit me a lot better now.

Duck Tape ?

They clain it has 1001 uses.

Now they can claim 1002...

Oh gosh! Too funny!
