Essential Opaque for Women Thigh High 20-30 mmHg

Why Choose Essential Opaque for Women Thigh High 20–30 mmHg

The Essential Opaque Thigh High is the clinical workhorse of the Sigvaris line — the thigh-high stocking most commonly dispensed for first-line 20–30 mmHg prescription therapy. It is not designed around fashion or comfort positioning; it is designed for durability, accurate sizing, and consistent daily therapeutic performance. The 64% nylon/36% spandex opaque knit is substantially more durable than sheer or microfibre alternatives, maintaining compression integrity through months of daily laundering. The broad size range — SS, MS, ML, LS, LL, XL, and petite and short options — is a genuine clinical differentiator: accurate thigh-high sizing is critical for maintaining the correct compression gradient, and Essential Opaque accommodates the full spectrum of patient body types. Standard silicone grip-top band provides reliable thigh hold, double-covered yarns ease donning, and the opaque fabric conceals varicosities, discolouration, and post-surgical skin changes. Available in closed or open toe with colours including Black, Honey, Natural, and Crispa.

Usage & Care

Don stockings in the morning before rising, when legs are least swollen. Use a donning glove or stocking aid for thigh-high application. Smooth fabric evenly from ankle to thigh grip-top, ensuring no bunching and correct positioning of the silicone band. Machine wash on gentle cycle in cool water with mild detergent; hang or lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry, bleach, or iron. Replace every 4–6 months or when compression or elasticity is noticeably reduced. Thigh-high sizing requires accurate leg length and circumference measurement — confirm sizing with a qualified fitter or healthcare provider before dispensing.
