What are compression stockings?

They are designed to help your legs feel lighter, less tired, and better supported throughout the day.

How they can make you feel

More comfortable legs from morning to night

The right compression stocking applies gentle, graduated pressure—firmest near the ankle and gradually lighter higher on the leg. That support can make a noticeable difference in how your legs feel during and after a demanding day.

01

Lighter-feeling legs

Graduated compression may reduce the heavy, weighed-down feeling that can build during a long shift.

02

Less everyday swelling

Consistent support may help limit swelling around the feet, ankles, and lower legs.

03

More comfort and energy

When legs feel less tired and achy, standing, walking, working, and travelling can feel easier.

04

Steady support all day

The garment gently supports circulation while you sit, stand, or move between the two.

How graduated compression works

Compression stockings are specially designed garments that apply controlled pressure to the legs. Pressure is generally strongest around the ankle and gradually decreases higher up the leg, helping support the movement of blood back toward the heart.

They come in different lengths, fabrics, styles, and compression levels. Professional measurements and an understanding of your daily routine help make the garment comfortable enough to wear consistently.

Who should wear compression stockings?

They are not only for one profession. They may be useful for many people who spend long periods on their feet, sit for extended stretches, travel frequently, or manage swelling with professional guidance.

Understanding compression levels

15–20 mmHgMild to moderate graduated support, often considered for travel, tired legs, or mild swelling.
20–30 mmHgFirm medical compression that may be recommended for certain vein conditions, swelling, or workplace needs.
30–40 mmHgHigher medical compression used for specific conditions and generally selected with professional medical guidance.
Important: The appropriate compression level depends on your health and individual needs. Follow the recommendation of your physician or qualified healthcare professional, especially for medical-grade compression.

Why precise measurements matter

A stocking that is too loose may not provide the intended support. One that is too tight, too short, or incorrectly shaped can be uncomfortable. We measure at several points on the leg and consider garment length, style, fabric, and your routine before guiding you toward an option.
