Question 2

What are compression socks made of?

Accepted Answer

Compression socks are manufactured from a wide variety of different fabrics, which in conjunction with the manufacturing quality is where the differences in price come in.

Fibers are chosen by manufacturers in accordance with the necessary thickness, softness, elasticity, durability and of course, the overall comfort of the final product. In many instances however, material choice comes down to personal preference of the buyer.

For example, certain recovery socks may be manufactured using a combination of spandex and nylon, while travel socks generally comprise nylon, spandex and cotton.

There are even other garments that may have threads of silver or copper woven into them, which is renowned for its anti-microbial properties.

When microfiber materials are used, this makes it possible for the skin beneath to breathe and can therefore deliver a higher level of comfort. In addition, microfiber fabrics are the thinnest fabrics produced these days and can be a full 50% finer than silk. Because of this, compression garments made using microfiber fabric can be incredibly lightweight and comfortable to wear.

Elastane often finds its way into the manufacture of compression socks and sleeves. Elastane is most commonly referred to as Lycra. It is particularly suitable to these types of garments, due to its ability to stretch to up to seven times its own length, depending on which other materials it is combined with.

Nylon is renowned for its incredibly durable and elastic properties, which combine with both softness and comparative affordability. Nylon represents a key material used in the manufacture of the vast majority of reasonably priced compression socks.

Another material that can be widely used in compression socks is spandex. Spandex is a light, firm and highly robust synthetic fiber that is extremely stretchy. It allows for maximum freedom of movement, is comprehensively comfortable to wear and is generally very easy to care for.

Question 3

How long should I wear compression stockings?

Accepted Answer

The reason why compression socks are worn in the first place determines for exactly how long they should be worn.

For example, if you are wearing relatively light compression socks simply for comfort purposes on an everyday basis, they can be worn as and when required. When standing for long periods for example, sitting in the same position with little to no movement or suffering mild discomfort or leg-fatigue during pregnancy, light compression socks can be used on something of an ad-hoc basis as and when required.

Likewise, compression socks that are used as a preventative treatment against DVT while flying only need to be used during the flight itself. They can be put on shortly before departure and once again removed upon arrival at the final destination. There’s no specific benefit to be had from wearing them for any longer periods than this.

However, if you are required to wear compression stockings for medical purposes, your doctor should advise you on exactly how long they should be worn for and at what specific times of day and/or night. In some instances, it may be necessary only to wear them during specific times or while carrying out certain activities. In others, they may need to be worn on a near 24/7 basis.

Likewise, compression socks may be recommended for a couple of weeks, several months or even on a permanent basis. This is something that can only be determined by a medical professional, who will offer tailored advice and support in accordance with your own unique requirements.
