Compression stockings are made of fabric with a cuff at the top that holds the stocking in place. They are designed to be tighter than traditional socks. They are easy to wear in the morning when you first wake up, and they may even be more comfortable when you’re wearing them at night. They’re also helpful if you suffer from vein issues, like varicose veins, because they help the blood flow in the legs.

The goal of compression stockings is to prevent blood from pooling in the lower extremities. Insufficient blood flow to the extremities is one of the main causes of backward blood flow. This can lead to pain, enlarged veins, damaged capillaries, and tissue damage or infection. Compression stockings prevent this from happening by applying consistent pressure to the lower legs, and they are designed to keep the pressure consistently high. This allows the body’s blood to flow against gravity and return to the heart.

While compression stockings are uncomfortable to wear in summer, they can prevent varicose veins from getting worse. When the valves in veins fail, blood begins to pool in the legs and can cause a disease called deep vein thrombosis. By preventing this condition, compression stockings help the blood flow to the heart and prevent the development of varicose veins.
