Wearing Compression for the First Time
The first few times you wear your compression garment you will notice the squeeze. It is OK to begin wearing your garment gradually. Try wearing them for just a few hours the first day and then increase the number of hours each day until you can wear them comfortably throughout the day while you are up and about.
Follow Physician’s instructions
Wearing Compliance
It is important to wear your compression garments everyday. Compression garments manage an on-going problem. When you remove your compression garment the condition responsible for your symptoms is still there. Failure to wear the garment as instructed may cause your condition to become more severe.
Care:
The elastic fibers of your compression garment will break down with wear. Proper care will increase the "life" span of your garment.
