Thigh High Footless Compression Stockings FAQ

Should i exercise with compression stockings?

Compression stockings can be worn during exercise. In some cases, a medical condition might necessitate their use during activities. Compression stockings are therapeutic stockings worn to support the venous and lymphatic systems of the leg. Ambulatory individuals generally use compression stockings called graduated compression stockings.

Do compression stockings have to be worn on both legs?

Traditional elastic compression stockings should not be worn at night on a regular basis, unless you are told to do so by your doctor. Just about all compression stockings provide “static” compression which means constant pressure is being applied to your legs all the time to help your blood circulate.

Are footless compression socks effective?

No, "footless" compression stockings are not as effective. Full-coverage stockings work best because they provide total compression. If compression is only from the ankle up, your feet could swell.

Which type of compression stockings?

There are two types of compression stockings: Gradient and anti-embolism. Gradient compression stockings are woven in such a way that the compression level lessens towards the top of the hose.
