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.

Waarom compressiesokken tijdens je zwangerschap?

Tijdens de zwangerschap neemt de druk op de bloedvaten in je benen toe en verandert je bloedsomloop. Hierdoor kun je sneller last krijgen van zware, vermoeide of gezwollen benen en vocht rond de enkels. Compressiekousen geven de meeste druk rond de enkel, waarna deze richting de knie geleidelijk afneemt. Deze druk ondersteunt de bloedstroom vanuit de benen terug richting het hart en kan helpen om vochtophoping te beperken. Zo kunnen compressiekousen bijdragen aan comfortabelere en minder vermoeide benen tijdens de zwangerschap.
