What is compression?
Designed to apply pressure to the legs, ankle and feet, compression socks, stockings, hosiery, leggings and leg or arm sleeves are garments that help improve blood circulation to help prevent issues such as swelling, fatigue, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and more.
Wearing compression stockings may be beneficial for travelers or those who are unable to move around for extended periods of time, for pregnant women during and after pregnancy, and for someone who is recovering from surgery.

How to put on and take off compression
Don’t get frustrated, putting on compression socks can seem difficult. They are snug, they are supposed to be – that is what makes them medically useful. Following our recommended process below will help make putting on compression a quick and easy part of your daily routine.
1.Put your hand in the stocking and grab the heel between your thumb and fingers as if you are making a sock puppet.
2.While holding the heel, turn the product inside out, which brings the heel to the forefront
3.Step into the foot and place the heel of the stocking just short of the heel.
4.Gently unfold the garment leaving a small, single-layer band across the foot.
5.Put your finger into the fold and pop it over the heel.
6.Smooth out all wrinkles and place the top band two finger-widths from the right-angle bend of your knee. Don’t pull it too far.
Pregnancy & Maternity
Pregnancy is a very special time for you. It changes your body to support the growth of your baby, but also puts pressure on your legs. Therefore, it is important to have the correct support for your legs to keep them fit and healthy during those nine months. This can be achieved through the help of medical compression.
At Work & At Home
Whether your profession requires you to sit or stand all day, your legs deserve special attention. Compression wear is an excellent way of supporting your legs while working, as well as helping improve overall quality of everyday life.
Travel
When you travel long distances in a sitting position, you are at risk for leg complications. Wearing compression socks or stockings can help prevent these problems and will can help increase your comfort along the way.
