MEASUREMENT & APPLICATION INFORMATIONAL VIDEO
1. Pull stocking inside out to heel. With thumbs in and fingers out, grasp each side of heel, gently slide over foot until heel pocket is centered over heel.
2. Begin turning right-side-out. Continue gradually pulling up the leg. For pantyhose: pull past thighs and over hips; adjust for comfort.
3. Remove folds or wrinkles, gently pulling upwards smoothing over leg. Fabric should be smooth and uniform. Do not fold top or waistband over.
4. Remove by turning “inside out”, gently pulling down to ankle. Insert finger, gently pull over ankle, heel and off the foot.
*Measurements should always be taken as soon as possible after waking when swelling is at its minimum
*Measure against bare skin
*The measuring system is based on having the foot flat against the floor and leg at a right angle to the foot
*Measurements must be taken by pulling the measuring tape snugly around the leg but without constricting the skin

Stocking Design and Care
Truform's 6 Points of Compression
Truform measures support values at precise locations along the length of the stocking - 4 points for below knee, 6 points for thigh length and pantyhose styles. These measurements help insure that the compression or support knit in to the stocking is distributed properly along the length of the leg – greatest at the ankle, reducing upwards toward the heart.
Multiple measurements guarantee that all Truform legwear styles are comfortable to wear, and provide the proper amount of elastic compression therapy, in all the right places. Graduated compression stockings, when properly sized and fit, are designed to help improve circulation, which in turn, will help soothe tired, heavy legs, reduce swelling, and relieve varicose veins.
Washing and Care
Wash gently with mild soap or detergent in lukewarm or cold water. Do not wring or twist. Rinse until water is clear. Roll in a towel to remove excess moisture. Dry flat away from heat and sunlight.
