I have that problem with some of my sleeves. It's usually because the sleeve doesn't fit properly.

It is very common for stockings to roll down, sometimes it is because they are too long but not always. Some one on here gave me a great tip that works and that is to put the stocking on as normal then fold over that top part, the bit which holds it up. Dampen this with water then fold it back against the skin. As the water dries the stocking top sticks better to the skin and stops the stockings rolling down. HTH

Throughout the day my stocking often slips. I think it's due to my knee being bent while sitting at my desk in the office or when I'm driving. After reading on here, I learned that if you dampen the silicon at the top of the stocking and pull it back up the silicon gets a good grip of your skin again and you are good to go :)

Yes I have, this could be because it doesn't for you properly. Were you measured or is this off the shelf? Skin glue helps to keep them in place also. Personally I have found that if you get the band put at the top rather than inside the stocking(made to measure) it is thinner and adheres to the skin better and rolls down less
