Why Are My Compression Stockings Rolling Down?

Rolling or slipping compression stockings are usually caused by one of several common issues:

Incorrect Size

Stockings that are too large often slide down during wear.

Improper Length

A garment that is too short may roll at the top band.

Worn-Out Elastic

Compression garments lose elasticity over time and may need replacement every 4–6 months with regular use.

Application Issues

Folds or wrinkles created during application can contribute to rolling.

Body Shape Considerations

Some individuals may benefit from silicone bands, custom garments, or alternative styles designed for their unique measurements.

If your compression garments are not staying in place, the team at Body Works Custom Compression can help identify the best solution.
