How to use JOBST® ACTIVA Men’s Dress:

1. Turn the compression socks inside out all the way to the heel.

2. Pull apart the folded-in foot part using both hands and pull over the foot all the way to the heel.

3. Gradually pull the compression socks over instep and heel.

4. Then gradually pull the compression socks upward by returning the socks to a right-side out position piece-by-piece.

5. Then distribute the socks evenly by massaging with both hands until the socks fit without forming creases.

6. It is particularly helpful to wear rubber gloves for this step.

7. For a waist high garment continue working the garment up to the middle of your thigh.

8. Stand up. With both hands, grab a handful of fabric and pull it up to your waist.

9. Adjust your support so that it is snug at your midsection. This will keep it from sliding down.

10. Pull the midsection to its proper height.

11. Slip your hands, palm out, into the back and lift the fabric up and away from your skin. Let it fall back to fit snugly over the buttocks.
