That's a good question. I'd say tape around the top unless you're allergic to tape.

You can get roll-on adhesive for use with self-supporting stockings or socks - a pharamcy should be able to tell you about it. That might work well.

  How bright can you be? Remove the business end of half the question but let it through!
  Google "adhesive for compression stockings" and you will find loads of links. I don't know about any specific brands as every country has different ones. And then you can only try them - but most of them are pretty good.

Hi I have tubigrip for my finger and use zinc free tape, it works really well and comes off pretty easy and thankfully no reaction
