Care instructions
The product is suitable for immediate use.
We recommend washing the product before
wearing it for the first time. Then wash daily
by hand or on a delicate fabric program.
Wash the stockings separately with mild
detergent without fabric softener (e.g. "Ofa
Clean special detergent") at a maximum
temperature of 40°C and rinse them well.
The stockings can be spun gently, but do
not wring them out. Dry your stockings in air
or in a dryer on a gentle cycle. Do not place
them on a heater or in direct sunlight. Never
iron the stockings.
To maintain the effectiveness of your
stockings, please do not use chemical
cleaning agents, petrol, or fabric softeners.
These substances damage the knitted fabric.
Compressive stockings are largely resistant
to fats and oils, but should not come into
contact with ointments. Stockings with
silicone-coated grip tops should generally not
come into contact with solvents, ointments
and re-greasing washing lotions and body
creams. Otherwise, the adhesion of the
grip tops could be permanently impaired.
Store the stockings in a dry place away from
sun and heat, in the original packaging if
possible.
Wash inside out and
do not use fabric softener!
Wash on a delicate or gentle cycle
Do not bleach

Tips for donning the stockings
Carefully pull your stockings/tights up your
