What's the main difference between calf compression sleeves and full compression socks?
The key difference is the design. Calf compression sleeves focus targeted pressure solely on the calf muscles, leaving your foot free. This makes them a top choice for athletes who want the benefits of compression while still being able to wear their favourite pair of sports socks.
What exactly are compression garments and how do they work?
Compression wear, like socks and stockings, are specially designed elastic garments that apply gentle pressure to your legs. This graduated pressure, which is firmest at the ankle and lessens up the leg, helps improve blood flow. Think of it as a helping hand for your circulation, which can reduce swelling, prevent tired and achy legs, and support your veins.
What conditions can medical compression stockings help with?
Our compression products are versatile and offer support for a range of common issues. They are highly effective for managing symptoms of varicose veins and spider veins, reducing swelling (oedema) in the feet and ankles, and helping to prevent DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) during long periods of inactivity, like travel. They are also fantastic for mums-to-be looking for reliable maternity compression stockings.
How do I choose the right compression level (mmHg)?
Choosing the correct grade of compression, measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg), is key to getting the best results: Mild (15-20 mmHg) is perfect for everyday wear or as flight socks. Moderate (20-30 mmHg) is a common medical compression level for varicose veins. Firm (30-40 mmHg) is generally prescribed by a doctor. Always chat with your GP before using moderate or firm compression.
How do I find the right size in compression stockings?
A perfect fit is crucial for both comfort and effectiveness. For our compression stockings Australia range, we recommend measuring your ankle and calf circumference first thing in the morning when swelling is at a minimum. For thigh-highs, you'll also need to measure your thigh. Match your measurements against the size guide found on each product page to find your ideal fit.
What's the best way to put on compression socks?
They can be a bit snug, so here's a trick: reach in and grab the heel of the sock, then turn the top part inside out down to the heel. Slip your foot in, pull the sock up over your heel, and then evenly unroll the rest of the stocking up your leg, making sure to smooth out any wrinkles. Using rubber gloves can give you a better grip and make it even easier.
