Is there a way to prevent thigh-high stockings from sticking to my pants?

I find when wearing full-length or thigh-high compression stockings, they cause my thighs to stick to my pants and my pants to ride up higher. They also bunch up at the knees. This mostly happens with tight or light dress pants and when going up stairs. How can I prevent this from happening?

My suggestion would be to try a different brand. We use Sigvaris stockings, and I have never heard anyone with this complaint.

It sounds like a static issue. Try one of the static reducing sprays to see if this resolves the issue. Different hose have different textures.

Your stockings are not fitting properly. You should get a custom fltted pair of stockings. You may also want to consider knee-highs rather than thigh-highs. Find out if you absolutely need thigh-highs.

My vascular surgeon did an ultrasound and prescribed endovenous laser ablation. She also suggested that I wear compression stockings after the procedure. However, due to severe psoriasis and eczema on my feet, I cannot wear full-coverage stockings that cover them. They must always be in wet dressings, but cannot be fully covered. Would footless compression stockings be just as effective as full-coverage hose following the procedure?
