When looking for compression stockings, does anyone have thoughts on which brands are better/worse?
Here are some of the brands I found:
Allegro
Jobst
Juzo
L&R
Medi
MoJo
Sigvaris
Therafirm (Thuasne)
If you have thoughts on any other brands, please let us know.
Thank you.

@janiebill, I didn't realize that about custom compression garments and the new law covering cost. Did you get a custom-made compression garment?

If you are diagnosed with Lymphedema and Dr will write a Rx insurance might pay. If you have Medicare they will pay for three (a year) compression garments. If private insurance, check with your company. As of Jan 2025 there are new laws concerning insurance coverage for people with Lymphedema. That way you can get a custom pair…. Measured just for you!
