Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Jobst Ultrasheer Compression Stockings
How do I determine the correct size for my compression stockings?
To ensure the best fit and therapeutic benefit, we recommend measuring your ankle and calf circumference in the morning when swelling is at its lowest. Please refer to our detailed sizing chart on the product page to match your measurements with the appropriate size.
What is the difference between 15-20 mmHg and 20-30 mmHg compression levels?
Compression levels are measured in mmHg. 15-20 mmHg is considered 'moderate' and is ideal for daily wear, travel, and minor swelling. 20-30 mmHg is 'firm' compression, typically recommended for varicose veins, edema, or post-surgical recovery as advised by a healthcare professional.
How long does shipping take for my order?
Standard shipping typically takes 3-5 business days within the continental United States. We also offer expedited shipping options at checkout if you need your compression garments sooner.
Can I return or exchange my stockings if they don't fit?
Due to the hygienic nature of compression garments, we can only accept returns or exchanges on items that are unopened and in their original packaging. Please contact our support team within 30 days of purchase to initiate a return.
How should I care for my Jobst Ultrasheer stockings to make them last?
We recommend hand washing or using a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. For best results and to maintain elasticity, hang them to air dry rather than using a tumble dryer.
Are Jobst Ultrasheer stockings sheer enough to look like regular hosiery?
Yes, the Ultrasheer line is specifically designed to provide a lightweight, fashionable appearance that mimics high-end hosiery while still providing medical-grade compression benefits.
