After being discharged from the hospital with a very large DVT (from below my knee to my pelvic area), I was advised to wear these during the day whilst being ambulatory. They start showing elastic shredding and sagging after 2-3 weeks of daily use, with hand washing or gentle machine washing (cold water, in a lingerie bag, air dry or very low heat tumble dry) 2-3x a week. After 4-5 weeks, the elastic has unraveled itself 2-3" at the top of the stocking, and along the gusset, but has no other issues (no nubs or snags, no weak spots, nothing threadbare, no holes).

When donning these, make sure you've no rings/jewelry on (to prevent snags) and short fingernails (long ones will damage the stocking). These are ideal for lounging and for those who are bedridden, but can be tricky for those who are up and about (like myself). That said, these control my post-thrombolic swelling beautifully. I now have 3 pairs.

I had knee surgery and the Teds sotckings that were put on me in the hospital last about 2 months of 24/7 wear before they got too loose and "nubby", so I decided to purchase another pair for the next 2 months I had to remain in bed. I liked them when I iced my knee because the cold was not as intesnse with the Teds stockings on. I was blot clot free after spending 4 months in bed. : )
