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 take this product for that purpose--I don't have leg cramps. I take it to complete my daily intake of vitamins. The daily product I take is Active Senior by Rainbow Light and the only items that are not included as a 100% daily requirement are calcium and magnesium.

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.

I would NOT use this brace for varicose problem unless you check with your dr. A gradual tightness via ace wrap would probably be better. I think this could be too tight.....these run small. I haven't been able to wear my medium one and do not have large legs . I.e. I am 5'4" and weigh 130#.

Not sure about leg cramps because I use it every night for leg pain and have no cramps. This is a great product and I cannot be without it at night.

I'm not sure what instructions you are looking for. But all our family members wear these night and day. My husband claims his feet have not ached since he's worn it. My kids think they give them strength. I hope this helps you with what you were inquiring about.

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'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)

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

They are rather on the large size as a capsule. They do work wonders if you have leg or feet cramps.

Yes. My husband uses this ointment mainly at night so his sleep won't be interrupted by leg cramps.

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

Not very thick. If the person who uses these is ambulatory, may I suggest TENA Ultimate Pad. If the person is bedridden, depends are just as thick and a great deal less expensive. Good luck

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

You just have to tap them in (though you may have to tap whatever old tip that was there down into the leg). I've noticed some movement in one or two of the walkers, but in general they fit really nicely. I run an assisted living, so I use a bunch. Much better than tennis balls.

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.

No. My husbands legs are very swollen and I can't get these on him. Better for ankles...Sorry
