Compression Stockings -- General Travel Question

[DRS_Are_Best]

Hello --

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I thought it would be worth a try.....

I started wearing high-level compression stockings (foot to knee) this past year. I am preparing to travel (to WDW) for the first time since getting these. As those of you who wear them know, these need to be washed daily. Is there a trick to drying them quickly? It will likely be after 10 when I take them off in the evening and I will be putting them on as early as 6am the next day, given our schedule. Putting them on while they are wet is EXTREMELY uncomfortable for me.

I know that I can wash them in a washing machine, but that's not something I plan on doing nightly. I'm looking for that simple daily solution.

TIA for any suggestions you may have.

It's probably easier to have multiple pairs. I have been buying mine from Brightlife Direct and eventually bought 5 pairs. I believe I paid about $25 a pair with free shipping.

Once you know what size you need, it's really easy. I found the Therafirm brand to fit well and they stay up while the Jobst I first got from a local pharmacy (and paid about $70 a piece for) fell constantly and bunched up at the ankles. (I'm prescribed 30-40mm Hg socks)

No hints on drying but I want to say good luck. I was prescribed these stockings earlier last year because I had cellulitis in my lower left leg. My calves are so muscular that I had to have them custom made. I never wore them and always watch for swelling. Drinking lots of water and losing weight has helped me so much. My doctor ordered the tightest pair possible for me
