According to the NHS Website
Compression stockings come in a variety of sizes, lengths and colours. They're also available with different strengths of compression.
Your legs will be measured to see what size stockings you need, and your GP or nurse will check they fit properly. You may need to wear them on both legs or just on one.
You should wear your compression stockings during the day and take them off before going to bed. Put them on again first thing in the morning.
You should be given at least two stockings, or two pairs if you're wearing them on both legs. This means you can wear one stocking (or pair) while the other is being washed and dried. Hand-wash your stockings at about 40C/104F (comfortable hand temperature) and dry them away from direct heat.
