"It helps in starting the foot into the stocking. Since I have difficulty bending over I lose control of holding onto the device. This leaves the foot half way down the length of the stocking."

Seems like a good idea for other people

"This device may well be helpful to other people but it does not work for me. It caused the sock to get stretched too much so that it extended above my knee and caused me pain. I could not correct the problem without taking the sock off my leg and it was also very difficult to do that because it was stretched so tight. Perhaps the fact that I wear high compression is the reason; I found it hard to get the sock onto the Donning Butler even before putting my foot into it. Fortunately I am still able to get my socks on without an aid. I purchased the device to be prepared in case I have difficulty later on. (I am now 80 years old.) I’m going to concentrate on trying to maintain my flexibility."

easier ways to don stockings- thigh high

"One of the 1st things I learned about donning compression stockings is that my feet should be elevated so that there is less blood in my feet/ankles. My vein doctor told me to sleep with my feet elevated by 4". The easiest way to don the stockings is while lying in bed! No bending at the waist required. Yes, you do have to be able to bend your knees. If you must get up before donning the stockings, I was told to elevate my feet for 7 minutes before putting on the stockings. Always keeping one arm inside the 'handle', I get the stocking on the butler by placing the butler on my abdomen - a good work out for those core muscles to tighten them to make a steady base for the butler. After working the stocking onto the butler, I raise it up to fit foot into stocking... gently pulling on the butler to work the stocking "down" my leg... when the stocking is at my knee, I remove the butler & place beside me on the bed. Another key element, I use 'rubber' gloves, the dishwashing kind that have textured fingers/palm, to help smooth the stockings over knee & thigh. Even if one chooses to sit to to get stockings on, it is much easier to get the stocking onto the butler if the butler is on a table. Use a silicone potholder, a piece of 'grippy' shelf paper or order the foot pads used with slippery donners in the accessory section [easy pad or dysem] to keep the butler from slipping. Using gloves for this part may make it easier for some. I can't imagine trying to don compression stockings while sitting or standing... seems unsafe to me. Certainly seems like much more work than doing it while lying down. I do like the Mediven stocking butler except that it is difficult to pack especially for flying. I have flown with it for years with no problems from TSA, thank goodness & knock on wood! I was hoping that the slippery donners might work but I only wear closed toe & the one for that has magnets - I'm not taking any chances of interfering with my husband's pacemaker! Also, the demos only show use with knee highs, I wear thigh highs. Hope this review helps someone."

Works great for stockings.

"It's a bit clumsy for pantyhose. Instructions say to insert socking up to the heal, but I've found midfoot is better. Also, the more slippery the material the better the donner works."

— Robert E. (5/5)

My petite compression knee highs

"My petite compression knee highs would pop off because the donning butler was too large. Not this one! It really helps me put the stockings on my leg. Thanks!"
