Compression socks

# Why wear compression socks?

Compression socks, also called compression stockings, help prevent and treat venous problems. The elastic fabric of the socks applies pressure at the vein junctions to facilitate blood flow from the feet to the heart.

Compression socks for women and men are ideal to wear if you stand for long periods or travel regularly (especially by plane to prevent leg swelling caused by pressure differences). Wearing compression stockings for women is also recommended during pregnancy to relieve swollen legs and ankles. From a more medical perspective, compression stockings for women and men are also recommended if you have varicose veins, circulation problems, overweight, or venous diseases.

As you can see, wearing compression stockings for women and men helps prevent swelling and the feeling of heavy legs! Compression socks serve as a medical device against venous disorders or for preventive use.

# How to wear compression socks?

Although compression socks may look like classic mid-calf socks designed to provide extreme comfort for your legs, they remain a medical device. It is therefore recommended to consult a doctor before wearing compression socks to identify the compression class best suited to your needs.

Generally, wearing compression socks is only necessary during the day because at night you are lying down and blood circulation is not an issue. It is therefore preferable to remove your compression mid-calf socks before sleeping. Exceptionally, they may be prescribed at night, especially after surgery or in case of prolonged immobilization.

Note: Mazarin compression socks are not yet reimbursed by social security, but your feet and legs will surely not mind given the comfort and elegance these stockings provide!
