Medical Compression Stockings – A Modern Look

I can remember laughing at my teacher’s compression stockings back when I was in school. They looked like something you would wear if you were going fishing. I have to admit I thought of her and was a little humbled when my doctor told me that they would be a good idea for me. Needless to say I was not looking forward to going shopping for them. I needed to get rid of the leg pain that I was having so I just went ahead and did it.

I would have to say though that I was relieved to find that the look as well as the functionality of compression stockings has vastly improved. The first ones that I found were called Jobst. They were a great find because they came in so many varieties; ones that I could wear casually, as well as athletic compression socks to go along with their sheer lines and some that you just couldn’t tell were not regular panty hose. I was also very happy with Sigvaris, as they had a wide selection of the kinds of things that I could wear to work every day. My legs felt so much better in no time.

I was also very happy to find that along with the look that has improved, the choices are much better. I bought a pair of compression stockings for my sister-in-law when she was pregnant and she loved them. Even though she is about my age, she is starting to notice that she has varicose veins in her legs and she also mentioned that after she had the baby she found a number of different types that she wears now. Last time I was there she was showing me a pair of thigh high compression stockings that she got. It was impressive that these were helping her with her legs, they also looked great.

They now come in pretty much any color under the rainbow and so many styles. I have my husband wearing Truform support socks now and he is pleased with them as well. I know he wouldn’t wear them if they didn’t look good as well. They use materials like spandex and newer types of polyester so they can make all sorts of great looking designs that he can wear all day, at work or even when he is out golfing.

What a great find these were. If you are going out looking for something to give your legs a lift try Mediven or Juzo, they also make all kinds of different varieties from anti embolism hosiery to things like graduated compression stockings, the type recommended to me. Don’t be afraid of what they will look like; you will be pleasantly surprised!
