I've struggled putting on my compression leggings for a long time now. A friend suggested this aid and I was sceptical. I thought it would hurt my legs after surgery with the pulling action out from under the compression. But I was totally wrong. It was the easiest experience I've had putting on the leggings. The aid slipped out easily with absolutely no friction on my skin to cause any discomfort. If the lenght of the aid went right up to the knee it would be amazing but might be hard to slip out then.
