Lohmann & Rauscher tg cotton Stockinette, 10cm x 25m, 100% Cotton Close-Weave Seamlessly Knitted Tubular Stockinette, Skin Friendly Protection, First Layer of Multi-Layer Compression Bandaging

Ordered to use as 1st layer of bandaging for a course of Complete Decongestive Manual Lymph Drainage. I ordered believing it would be the usual rib knit I had used in past sessions.I was surprised at the close knit of this stockinette. It was not as stretchy as a rib knit. The material is closest to old fashioned cotton knit ladies stockings. Thankfully I purchased the widest width and it was able to cover my Lipoedemic calves and thighs. More importantly, I realized that this knit was contributing to my morning bandaging staying in place longer!With the more stretchy rib knits, once therapy and wrapping were done, bandages began to slip as soon as I started my daily activities. In a few hours, would need to remove the bandaging down to my knees as the bulk of the skipped bandage was interfering with walking. With this stockinette the first few weeks of daily therapy I had almost zero bandage slippage. As I completed a 5 week session, there was only minimal bandage slippage as expected after multiple washings of the stockinette.I am surprised that the small difference in the knot of the stockingette made such a large difference to my therapy.

I had Achilles tendon surgery and needed to protect my ankle for about two months, in order to avoid the rubbing of my shoe against the incision site. I wear socks every day but needed an additional closer, softer form of protection. The doctor's office gave me a length of this at the post-of visit but that quickly needed to be replaced. I bought this and I'm so happy to have my own supply to get through this healing time. At first it appears pretty flimsy but it serves the purpose exactly as I want. It's not intended to compress the area like surgical hose. It is the thin stockinette fabric that a doctor would put on your arm or leg before putting on a plaster cast. Its purpose is to protect the skin from irritation. It is so nice to have!

First, this was not what I thought it was. If you're looking for a stockinette with mild compression, this won't do. It fits loosely on the leg, so I had to request a return. But I decided to write a review because (a) Lohmann & Rauscher was so nice about my return request, and (b) this is really well made. I've used different brands of these cut-to-length tubular stockings, and these are by far the best made. The fabric is soft and smooth, it doesn't bunch up, and there are no flaws or irregularities in the fabric. This is good stuff.

This product is awful. The 10 cm is too big for feet and ankles and barely stretches enough for knees. It does not return to its original size; it just stretches out a bit and then falls down. Do not buy!!!! Instead go with blue or yellow line Tubifast by Molnlycke. It has 2 way stretch but is not 100% cotton.

I wore a removable splint for 10 weeks for a broken thumb. The Doctor's office gave me 3 Stockinettes to take with me when I left the office. They were a little heavier material than this product but they didn't wash well and started to stretch. This roll allowed me to cut a fresh liner each day and discard it at night. I still have over half the roll left but it was well worth it in the long run. If the product had been as heavy as the ones from the doctor's office I would have given it 5 stars.

This has no elasticity and is very thin fabric. I need it under my AFO. I was very disappointed in how very thin the fabric is. It is practically see-through. It did, however wash and dry rather well.

Soft material, washes without much shrinking. I used as a lower leg covering inside a walking boot to keep the boot cleaner during my 8 weeks recovery. It was loose fitting. It was too wide to use as a sock, I should have ordered 3" for tight fit but it worked perfect for a liner.

OK first off this is not 5inches it is 4.72inches. This makes a difference if you are needing the max size. It will not stretch to 20 inches. At 18 it was tight and didn't fell like it had any more give. It was too tight. If you are use to the typical rib material this will work as a replacement for a 4inch but it will not stretch as much. It does have a closer weave and is a bit thinner both were plusses for me but I need to stretch. So it is getting returned.
