Pregnancy socks

During pregnancy, many changes occur in your body, especially in your circulatory system. As a result, you may experience minor physical discomforts, such as heavy or swollen legs.

Support compression stockings help improve circulation and prevent fluid retention. The controlled pressure from your ankles supports your veins, reduces the risk of varicose veins, and makes your legs feel lighter throughout the day. They are made from breathable, soft materials, making them comfortable to wear, even on warm days, during long working days, or on a plane.

Why compression socks during your pregnancy?

During pregnancy, pressure on the blood vessels in your legs increases and your circulation changes. This can cause you to experience heavy, tired or swollen legs and fluid retention around the ankles more quickly. Compression stockings apply the most pressure around the ankle, which gradually decreases towards the knee. This pressure supports blood flow from the legs back towards the heart and can help reduce fluid retention. Thus, compression stockings can contribute to more comfortable and less tired legs during pregnancy.
