Introduction
When you think of comfort and health and style, jobst should come to your mind. As it is, we all want to enjoy healthy and active lives. This is made even more challenging seeing the tasks that come with work and family. The health and comfort of our legs is very important.
Jobst for health
Lack of taking proper care of them can lead to problems with the veins in legs. This is a common problem that occurs to both men and women of all ages. One cannot be able to control heredity, age, surgery and changes that occur during pregnancy. However, one can be able to improve lifestyle factors through certain activities such as exercise, maintaining a good posture and avoiding inactivity. Another thing that we can do to improve our lifestyle is to have fitting clothing and footwear as well as wearing gradient compression hosiery such as a good pair of jobst. Jobst are available to fit all genders, shapes and sizes from tall to petite and the also come in a range of colors to fit your taste and style.
How to keep them on you
As we know, jobst are a stylish accessory that can be an everyday kind of wear. This is especially so for thigh high jobst pairs because they are comfortable to wear and also, as mentioned, aid in the prevention as well as the covering up of conditions such as vein thrombosis and varicose veins.
When wearing jobst, just like any other stockings, there is usually difficulty in keeping them from staying smooth at the top, seeing as they are always very willing to roll over. This can make it uncomfortable to wear them. There is however, a trick as to how someone can deal with these jobst issues. First of all, you are required to clean the inner silicone bands with a damp cloth each time after you are done wearing them. This is no exception even if you wash them frequently. This will remove any oils from your body that get stuck on the silicone, making them hard to stick on you when you wear them.
At the same time, it is advisable to try and keep away from applying lotions and oils as well as perfumes on your legs when wearing them. All these serve to loosen the silicon’s power. If you choose to apply oil, then wait for some time for the oil to be absorbed into your skin before adorning your stockings. These are the first things that you should do. However, in case you have already done either of the two and your stockings and they are still proving to be a problem, you can then apply some talcum powder between the band and your legs. This powder serves to dry your skin and also increases its grip to your legs.
The daily wear
When wearing them, you need to turn the upper part of the stocking inside out to the heel and gently slide the stocking down the foot part. You then pull the remaining part of it over your heel, after inserting your foot. Make sure you use the palm of your hands, and not your nails, to massage the stocking up toward your knee. As much as you can, try not to pull at the upper edge of the compression stocking.
