Sigvaris Doff N' Donner

How it works

Sigvaris describes the Doff N' Donner as letting compression stockings glide easily on and off. The stocking rolls onto the fabric tube first; you then place the tube against your foot and unroll the tube (and the stocking with it) up the leg. Sigvaris gives separate techniques for using it on your own or with a caregiver's help.

The tube does the gripping, so hands with reduced strength or dexterity don't need to pinch and pull the stocking fabric itself.

Sigvaris publishes separate instructions for using it independently and for a caregiver helping someone else.

Valuhub also carries the Doff N' Donner Cone, an add-on piece for the same system - see our Donning Aid page.

These are reusable aids, not disposable garments: wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed, and let fabric parts air dry. They aren't a compression garment themselves, so there's no mmHg to wash out and no fixed replacement schedule - replace only if a part cracks, frays or stops gripping.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $150; some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may cost extra.

Return within 14 days of purchase, unused, in original condition and packaging.

Covered directly by Sigvaris under their warranty for material and manufacturing defects.

Compressionsocks.ca's own donning-aid guide points to the Doff N' Donner style for anyone who finds gripping stocking fabric directly difficult.

This style still asks you to place the tube on your own foot, so it suits people without a reach limitation.

Compressionsocks.ca notes this style works for both knee-high and thigh-high stockings.

How does the Doff N' Donner work?

Roll the stocking onto the fabric tube, place the tube on your foot, then unroll the tube up your leg so the stocking follows without your hands gripping it directly.

Can a caregiver use this for someone else?

Yes - Sigvaris publishes a separate technique for caregiver-assisted use alongside the independent-use instructions.

Is there an add-on for this?

Yes, the Doff N' Donner Cone is sold separately on our Donning Aid page and works with this same system.

How do I clean it?

These are reusable aids, not disposable garments: wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed, and let fabric parts air dry. They aren't a compression garment themselves, so there's no mmHg to wash out and no fixed replacement schedule - replace only if a part cracks, frays or stops gripping.
