Sigvaris Essential Opaque 20-30 mmHg Closed Toe Pantyhose Plus

Why Choose Sigvaris Essential Opaque 20–30 mmHg Pantyhose Plus Closed Toe

Pantyhose Plus addresses two clinical needs simultaneously: bilateral above-knee compression at 20–30 mmHg, and accommodation of larger hip and waist measurements that standard pantyhose sizing cannot fit without restriction at the panty zone. For women who need compression extending above the knee on both legs, pantyhose format is preferable to bilateral thigh-highs because it eliminates the bilateral grip-top reliability problem — two thigh-high grip bands on larger-circumference thighs are more likely to roll or fail than a single waist-anchored panty system. Plus panty fit increases the waist, hip, and seat dimensions without changing the leg compression sizing, allowing the pantyhose to sit comfortably at the waist without constriction in the panty section that would cause the garment to pull down under body weight throughout the day. The smooth opaque knit provides full-leg coverage that conceals varicosities and skin discolouration from ankle to thigh, the closed-toe design functions as everyday hosiery inside regular footwear, and firm 20–30 mmHg compression addresses bilateral venous insufficiency, oedema, and varicose vein management requiring full-leg coverage. Confirm colour and exact size by SKU.

Usage & Care

Don pantyhose in the morning before rising. Work fabric gradually from feet upward to waist — a donning device or silk assist cloth eases full-pantyhose application at 20–30 mmHg. Smooth evenly throughout with no bunching. 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 diminishes. Confirm Plus sizing with accurate waist, hip, and leg measurements before dispensing.
