How often should compression stockings be replaced?

Compression stockings generally have a lifespan that can vary depending on their type, usage, and care. Typically, it is recommended to replace compression stockings every three to six months. However, if the stockings show signs of wear and tear, such as loss of elasticity, visible damage, or if they no longer provide adequate compression, it may be necessary to replace them sooner. It is important to monitor how well the stockings fit and function over time. Regularly checking for any signs of stretching or deterioration will help maintain effective support for your legs. Proper care also plays a crucial role in extending their lifespan. Hand washing or using a gentle cycle, air drying, and avoiding fabric softeners can help keep compression stockings in good condition for a longer period.
