  1. How to Choose and Use Compression Socks for Pregnancy People wear socks to stay dry and warm, especially in cold weather. With compression socks, you get more than that, including keeping safe against blood clotting as well as feet, legs, and ankles swelling. If you are expectant, wearing Compression Socks for Pregnancy will also help to avoid swelling, pain, and discomfort. How to Pick Compression Socks When picking the right Compression Socks for Women, you may consider the tips below. Pick the Right Type Start by choosing the right type that will fit you well, and that is the correct length. For example, if you have graduated compression socks (the compression varies along the leg) that do not work well for you, you can upgrade to prescription-grade ones. You may also need to adjust them or check if you are wearing them correctly or not. Pick the Right Compression Levels The socks come in different levels. The compression level that you need will determine what you should choose. They usually have labels according to their range of compression, measured in mmHg as follows: Low Compression Socks: They provide below 20 mmHg. You can get them from a local pharmacy or online. Medium Compression: These provide between 20 and 30 mmHg. They are helpful if you have varicose veins or DVT and assist in controlling swelling and pain. Moderate to High Compression: The stockings provide compression levels between 30 and 40 mmHg. They are best suited for individuals with severe pain or swelling in the legs, feet, and ankles. Firm Compression: As the name suggests, they offer higher compression, between 40 and 50 mmHg. They are best for individuals who have a history of severe vein issues and blood clots. Pick the Right Fit You should also pick the right fit. You should take the length and girth of your calves, ankles, and legs if you want waist-high or thigh-high stockings. If you buy medical-grade, an expert will advise you accordingly.

  2. How to Wear Compression Stockings Smooth the socks and place them flat against your skin. Make sure to avoid bunching. Also, make sure they are not too long. Avoid folding and rolling the tops down to avoid making them tight. This could also accelerate blood flow issues or cut off circulation. If a doctor advises you on how to wear them, it should be easier for you. Always check in with an expert for their advice and other recommendations.
