This is for my 90-year-old mother to prevent leg cramps at night. Are they relatively easy to put on?

I know they are easier than the ted hose from the hospital. As long as your mother can put her socks on they should be fine depending on the circumference of her leg.

I don't think that would be a problem. They are not as hard to put on as the prescription type such as I had to have from the vascular after vein surgery,however they are not as easy as regular knee highs either. Good luck.

I buy these for my mother-in-law. She had polio in 1952 and has had to sit in a wheelchair since then. Her hips have spread pretty dramatically. The large Depend with tabs fits her the best of any that we have tried. The tabs on both sides make them easy to put on her and allow for a more custom fit than a pull-up or just one-sided tab. The tabs are pretty long which allows for about a 2" difference in the waist size. Hopes this helps!

If you have arthritis, no. They are on there pretty tight. I'm 31 and I sometimes have trouble getting them open.

It will be tough. You might need assistance to pull it on. And if you're leg is sensitive, I would certainly avoid it - it might be painful or pull on the bandage!

Yes, they are quite easy to put on and then remove for an adult. They are in 2 halves. You need to align the holes and clip them by squeezing a bit. While taking off, you need to squeeze and then pull them apart. So kids shall not be able to easily take them off.

Hello, I am taking these at bedtime for leg pain due to nerve damage as recommended by my doctor. I still get cramping in my feet on days that I have walked or hiked for a long time but most nights I don't have a problem. It might be worth a try. Good luck

You might try getting her some gloves, like Playtex gloves that you use for doing dishes. The grip on them is pretty good, and it would take some of the work out of getting them on and off. I have an elderly friend that uses them to get his stockings on, and it helps him. Getting them off with the gloves might help also, but it sometimes takes practice getting your foot into position to be able to pull them off, especially if she is inflexible. I hope this helps you.

I am elderly, and was able to put them on the first time I tried. I made sure my toes and heels were comfortable and then I carefully pulled them up to my knees. I've washed them several times by hand and always hang them on the shower rod. Never in the dryer!

Yes, it is. My mother is 96 and partly paralyzed. It is easy for her to get up with this. She loves it. She love the material also. It is warmer for her. And she doesn't slide on it. There is a back up battery that you can put in, in case of a power outage. It has a nice and slow movement, that doesn't scare her. When she is getting up. I also got this one, because it was for petite people. The size is great for someone under 5 feet.

Ask doctor. I'm not sure how that weight would effect her, but these are pretty decent for adults.

I can't say for sure. I wear them because I have leg pain. I'm not sure if its from poor circulation or not, but they help tremendously. I would recommend you try them, it may help in your situation. I will say they run a little tight, so you might have to go one size up. Good luck!

My wife is 72 years old and she puts hers on without problems. She wears them to protect from scratches and bruises. Anyone that can put on their socks or gloves shouldn't have any problems.

They aren't too difficult to get on. I put them on like I would if they were panty hose; I bunch them up and start at the toe. I then pull the sock all the way up to my knee and adjust it if it seems a little crooked. I wear them everyday and it honestly takes me just a minute to put them on.

I think it is very easy and yes they stay snug. At first I had to feel around under the little flap that covers the hole but once I felt where the button is I realized I could push down on it effortlessly for the release of the straps. It will not be something children can reach to push themselves. So tightening is simply pulling the strap between their legs and that is easy. Excess strap tucks under the edge of the seat easily so they can't grab it and tighten it on themselves accidentally. Releasing it is just as easy but you will need to be familiar with the button position. I hope this helps. I think it is very easy and yes they stay snug.

I find them to be reasonably snug without being too tight. For me they are comfortable. If you were to be more active than walking normally, they would slide out of position. Unfortunately probably one of those things you'll have to try to see if they work for you. Hope this helped a little.

I wouldn't say they are hard at all. They hold their shape, but are soft to the touch Easy to move and make fit onto you. There are a few ways to put it on I found that pressing the tip down so it goes into itself then placing in you and when it pulls itself back to its original shape it draws you into it. these have been a life saver for me!!
