Comfortable
"I'm not pregnant, and I love these pantyhose. I've gotten sclerotherapy once a year for probably the last 10 years. I wear 20-30 mmHg compression hosiery for 2 weeks after treatment. I buy 2 new pairs of stockings/pantyhose each year to wear post-procedure. I've tried thigh-highs and waist-highs; open-toed and closed-toed; sheer, medical-support, and microfiber fabrics; size medium and large. I prefer size medium waist-high, closed-toe microfiber stockings, but I don't like being squeezed around my waist. I am 5'5", I weigh 124 lb, and my waist is 28". These pantyhose in size medium are the most comfortable of all of the styles I have tried."

They are nice but run very small.
"Good qulaity but do not fit a smaller pregnant woman even. Size up!"

AW Style 226 Microfiber Opaque Closed Toe Maternity Pantyhose - 20-30 mmHg
"These pantyhose are silky smooth and are comfortable to wear. They do have a sheen to them. They are more breathable than the other compression hose I own, which in warmer weather is really nice. They do creep down some and bunch a little behind the knees. Even with them creeping down, the crouch doesn't sag. Even though these hose are comfortable, I feel that they lack in compression compared to other 20-30 mmHg compression hose I've worn. I would say these are closer to my 10-15 mmHg compression hose rather than 20-30 mmHg. I'm 5'6", 170lbs pre pregnancy weight (typically size 12 in pants) and ordered size large based on measurements on the size chart. I had phlebitis halfway through my first pregnancy and then began wearing 20-30 mmHg and had no further issues. Now, I'm halfway through my second pregnancy and have been wearing compression hose from the beginning (including style AW 206 which I really like). Hopefully, I will not have issues this pregnancy, but unfortunately I don't think these compression hose have enough compression to help me during pregnancy."

Not as durable as Medical Support Hose style
"These stockings worked great for a month or two and I liked the smoother feel compared to the Medical Support Hose (AW Style 206), but after 3 months of use they are full of runs. I wash them as instructed and use rubber gloves to put them on, but the microfiber nylon is so delicate that throughout the day it catches on dry skin on my hands and starts to run. I have Medical Support Hose that I wore all through my last pregnancy that are still going strong. I bought these to have additional pairs, but that was a mistake."

Decent Compression
"I was happy with the compression of these stockings, however; the quality seems to be lacking. As I require these stockings daily, I am disappointed that they are starting to come apart at the seams after only 2-3 months of usage. I care for them properly (use supplied rubber gloves to put the stockings on, wash them in the mesh (delicates) bag and hang to dry. I do not think I would purchase these again."

AW Style 226 Microfiber Opaque Closed Toe Maternity Pantyhose - 20-30 mmHg
"I would like to tell you about how great this pair of Maternity Pantyhose are, and yes I am a guy, I am retired with bad legs, low blood flow in both legs, I have tried all kinds, these work best for me, there soft, feel great on my legs, great for travel in cars and air, I also have a farm and they are hard to rip but you still need to watch out for thing that will stick and rip them, for taking care for the yard, garden working the fields of all kinds. Been using them for about 1 year now, The legs I do not have any trouble with but I am a guy with a good size middle, the seam wear out the fastest were there put together. But for every day use they should last a very very long time. For me about 1 to 2 months I have to buy another pair. If you need them buy these you will not go wrong and the price is so great. Thank you Ames Walker for making these"

These are more durable and
"These are more durable and easier to put on than my $100 compression hose. I love the microfiber, just so much more comfortable. As with most higher compression hose, these take some work getting on, but not nearly as tough as the others. Highly recommend."

This is my second pregnancy
"This is my second pregnancy with varicose veins and both times I have worn these pantyhose. They are by far the most comfortable and they still give plenty of support. And they are cheaper than most other brands that are not nearly as comfortable. I would highly recommend these. My only suggestion would be to go by the height on the size chart if you are choosing between two sizes. They will squish your toes a bit if they are too small!"
