Compression Socks and Stockings for Women
Price
Long workdays, travel, pregnancy swelling, or vein-related discomfort can leave legs feeling heavy. Compression stockings for women support circulation and everyday comfort, helping reduce fatigue during daily routines. Choose from our range of support socks for women, shop by compression level or shop by length to find the right fit quickly.
Why Women Choose Compression Stockings?
Different lifestyles create different needs:
- On-your-feet all day (nurses, retail, hospitality): compression helps counter gravity, support blood flow, and prolonged standing.
- Desk work or low movement days: gentle support helps reduce stiffness from sitting too long.
- Travel (long flights or drives): compression socks for travel that ladies often choose can help manage leg swelling during extended sitting and lower the risk of symptomless DVT.
- Pregnancy and postpartum: many women opt for orthopedic stockings for women to support tired legs, always keeping comfort and proper fit first.
Pick the Right Compression Level
Compression strength is measured in mmHg; the higher the number, the firmer the support. Choosing the right level matters for comfort and effectiveness.
- Mild (15–20 mmHg): Ideal for tired or heavy legs, early varicose veins, long periods of sitting or standing, and travel. This level is commonly chosen for first-time, everyday wear.
- Moderate (20–30 mmHg): Persistent symptoms, clinician-guided post-procedure use, or when mild isn’t enough. Stronger oedema control for everyday routines.
- Firm (30–40 mmHg):Specialist-directed only. Typically prescribed for significant venous conditions requiring higher pressure.
Rule of thumb: If you’re unsure or if you have diagnosed vein or vascular conditions, seek medical advice before selecting a higher level.
For best results, measure accurately and check our Compression Stockings Size Chart before ordering.
Important safety note:
If you have known or suspected peripheral arterial disease (PAD), compression may not be suitable without proper assessment. Higher compression levels require clinical guidance (such as an ABPI test). Learn more in Who Should Not Wear Compression Socks.
Choose the Right Length
- Knee-high compression socks are the most popular choice for everyday wear. They’re easy to put on, comfortable for long hours, and suit most daily needs where support is mainly required in the lower leg.
- Thigh-high compression stockings and medical pantyhose stockings styles are chosen when you want compression higher up the leg, either for added comfort, more complete coverage, or when swelling and fatigue extend beyond the calf.
The right length simply depends on where you need support and how you plan to wear them day to day.
Open-toe vs Closed-toe Compression Stockings
Open toe compression stockings designs can improve toe comfort, accommodate different foot shapes, or suit warmer conditions. Closed-toe styles offer full-foot coverage and a traditional stocking feel.
