Watch Simona’s full review of the Relaxsan Prestige Stay-Up Stockings 140 Denier. These are graduated compression hold-up stockings classed as a medical device, as indicated by the cross symbol on the packaging. They come in a striking black and gold box that reflects the Prestige name, and include detailed instructions on how to wear and care for compression hosiery.
The stockings are 140 denier and are available in a 70 denier version as well. The pair reviewed is in colour moka, described as a deep, rich shade that Simona likens to chocolate. Despite the dark tone, the weight of the fabric means the colour reads as warm and autumnal, making them a good choice for the cooler months paired with knitwear or boots.
Simona tried these in size 2 and notes that for graduated compression stockings, sizing is particularly important. In her case the welt was gripping quite firmly, which is a natural consequence of the compression design, but she advises viewers to size up if they are on the border between sizes, as the band can feel quite tight and make the stockings harder to wear all day.
Key observations from the review include:
- Graduated compression: supports circulation and gives a massaging effect on the leg
- Welt: not very tall but features a decorative heart motif and holds firmly throughout wear
- Fabric feel: noticeably soft and smooth against the skin
- Hold: stays in place while standing, walking, and sitting without slipping or bunching
- Knee bend: no visible creasing or ridge lines when the knee is bent, thanks to the even compression
- Colour: deep moka with a warm, slightly opaque appearance suited to autumn and winter
When seated for an extended period, the stockings continued to perform well. There were no marks or indentations left on the skin from the welt even after sitting, and the fabric did not shift or wrinkle at the knee. Simona confirms that once you are seated the stockings give no discomfort and feel wearable for a full day.
The graduated compression means the leg feels supported and wrapped evenly, which Simona says is particularly noticeable by the end of the day when legs would otherwise feel heavy or tired. She suggests these would suit a day that involves both time on your feet and time sitting, such as an office environment or a relaxed lunch out followed by shopping.
Simona’s overall verdict is positive. The Relaxsan Prestige stay-ups are wearable all day and the compression function is genuinely felt. The main caution is to select the correct size carefully, as the compression welt is firm by design and choosing too small a size will make them uncomfortable to keep on. Subject to getting the sizing right, she rates them as a quality product for anyone seeking the combined benefit of a hold-up stocking and graduated compression support.
