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 can not answer regarding age and ability to put them on and take off. You might need to have someone help you set it up the first time. i simply put the pump on a nearby table and slip on the leggings and zip. Each leg has a zipper for the full length, the hoses are long enough to make it easy to manuever, and it works very well. Highly recommend it.

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.

Its not hard to put on. You can try it on, then remove it and adjust as needed. This item worked well, but when you receive it, make sure you increase the time you wear it slowly. I kept it on too long and ended up sore. The support is great, though.

I would say yes. I used to work with the elderly and I cannot imagine any of them being able to put these socks on by themselves without lots of patience and difficulties...and for some it may be totally impossible to do on their own.

I haven't worn them myself, but my mother is very very fussy about things like that and she would tell me and also ask me not to get anymore, but she has got me to order another pair in case something goes wrong (old age) with the ones shes just got, so id say they're comfortable. she'd wear them most of the day to listen to tv

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!!

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

I used talcom Or. I rolled them on.... Almost like putting on pantyhose. Lol. The tight fit is how they should be. Like extra skin.

Yes, super easy in fact. The sides are more like spandex which makes it easy to put on.

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.

No, it is actually quite easy to install. I am a 70 year old disabled woman and I set it up easily.

Yes, they need to be secure. Make sure you have been put on so that the slot in leg is over the bump on the side . They call it a pin,but it's more like a bump. I needed to switch one leg to a different place when it didn't fit well.

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 don't "feel" them exactly - if they fit right you forget they are on. What you should notice is that your swelling is under control at the end of the day and/or your legs do not ache. HTH! As far as sizing, they sizing charts they provide seem correct to me.

For sure.... I try them (i'm 36 and 165 pounds) and they work very well. The Gel make them very comfortable. Good Luck!

I'm on my feet 8 hours a day in a pharmacy and they keep my legs from getting tired and my ankles from swelling just like the ones my cardiologist prescribed. I showed them to her and she ok'd them. I'm a larger woman and they fit me very well. (felt I needed to add that after reading the other answers)
