Which compression leggings come in the largest sizes?

It depends on where you need the room. CzSalus 3XL covers the largest calf (up to 60 cm) and upper thigh (up to 100 cm) of the five brands, and CzSalus also makes garments to measure. JOBST Relief Waist High XL goes furthest at the hips (up to 166 cm) but stops at a 50 cm calf. VIM & VIGR footless tights stop at 240 lb (109 kg) and SIGVARIS Soft Silhouette Leggings at 105 kg (230 lb).

When should I measure for compression leggings?

In the morning, before swelling builds up during the day. Both JOBST and Rejuva say this in their sizing instructions. Use a soft tape, keep it snug but not tight, and measure each leg separately.

What if I am between two sizes?

Follow the brand's rule. CzSalus says to order the larger size. For brands sized by ankle, such as Rejuva and JOBST, the ankle decides, because that is where graduated compression is strongest. If your calf or thigh then falls outside that size, the garment is unlikely to fit well and a different brand or made-to-measure may suit you better.

Do the letters on size charts mean the same thing across brands?

No. On Rejuva's chart A is the ankle, while on the CzSalus chart A is the calf. SIGVARIS uses A to D as size names, not body points. Always go by the body point named in the chart, never by the letter.

Why does a height and weight chart give me a different size than my measurements?

Height and weight charts, used by SIGVARIS and VIM & VIGR, assume average proportions. If your legs are fuller or slimmer than average for your weight, as is common with lipedema, a circumference-based chart describes your legs more accurately.

Every compression brand sizes differently: some by ankle and calf, some by height and weight. Measure once in the morning, enter your numbers below, and see your size in five brands side by side, including which ones simply don't go large enough.

Find your size

Measure in the morning with a soft tape. If your legs differ, measure the fuller one. Fill in what you can; more measurements give a more reliable answer.

Ankle

Narrowest point, just above the ankle bone

Calf

Widest point of the calf

Upper thigh

Widest point, just below the buttock

Hips

Widest point around the buttocks

Waist

Natural waist, the narrowest point

Height

Without shoes

Weight

How far each brand's sizes go

The largest ready-made size each brand publishes for these leggings and tights, taken from the brands' own charts on 7 October 2026. "Not published" means the brand doesn't size by that measurement.

How to measure for compression leggings

CzSalus also makes shorter-leg versions of its lipedema leggings for heights from 145 cm; the size finder suggests them when you enter your height.

Measure in the morning. Legs swell as the day goes on, and a garment sized on evening measurements will be too loose by the next morning. JOBST and Rejuva both say this in their sizing instructions.

Measure each leg. JOBST asks for each leg to be measured independently and CzSalus asks for left and right calf and thigh separately. If they differ, size by the fuller leg.

Go by the body point, not the letter. On Rejuva's chart A is the ankle; on the CzSalus chart A is the calf. SIGVARIS uses A to D as size names. Read what each letter refers to before you compare.

Know which measurement decides. Brands that size by circumference start at the ankle, where graduated compression is strongest. Brands that use a height and weight grid assume average proportions, so treat that answer as a starting point if your legs are fuller or slimmer than average.

When ready-made sizes stop working

If your calf or thigh is well above what your ankle size allows, or your measurements point to sizes two or more apart, ready-made leggings will be tight in one place and loose in another. This pattern is common with lipedema, where the legs carry more volume than the ankles and feet.

In that case, CzSalus's wider leg ranges are worth checking first, and made-to-measure flat-knit garments are the next step. A certified compression fitter or your clinician can measure you and advise on the right compression class. Our guide to plus-size compression leggings for lipedema covers the options in more detail.
