Prepare your garment
Turn the garment inside out and gather it accordion-style. Put on your donning gloves for a better grip.
Use slide & glide
Place a silk liner or slide layer over your foot and leg first to create a smooth surface for the compression to glide over.
Apply gradually
Pull the garment up gradually, smoothing out wrinkles as you go. Never yank — use the gloves to grip and pull evenly.
Remove liner & adjust
Once the garment is in place, carefully remove any slide material and smooth out remaining wrinkles for even compression.
