What's the best way to put these on?
We made a video showing the best way to put on a compression sock. You should really watch it. But if you'd rather read the instructions, this is our best attempt at describing how to do it:
1. Reach your hand inside the sock until you find the heel bed.
2. Pinch the heel bed with your pointer finger and thumb. Think sock puppet.
3. While holding on to the heel bed, turn the sock inside out, right up until your hand reappears.
4. Now slide your thumbs into this new opening, and while holding firmly onto each side, pull the sock up over your foot until the heel bed just touches your actual heel.
5. With your foot securely in place, you can grab onto each side of the cuff and pull the sock all the way up your leg and around your calf.
6. Adjust the foot and heel placement if need be. Ensure the cuff falls about 1" below the crease behind your knee.
What does mmHg stand for?
"mmHg" stands for millimeters of mercury, which is a unit of pressure measurement. In compression socks, it indicates the amount of pressure the socks apply to your legs to help improve circulation and reduce swelling. Typically expressed as a range, the lower the range, the lighter the compression. The 15-20 mmHg range is considered mild to moderate compression, making it great for everyday wear, travel, and managing mild swelling or fatigue.
What is graduated compression?
Graduated compression means that the pressure in the sock is strongest at the ankle and gradually decreases as it moves up the leg. This design helps promote blood flow back to the heart, reducing swelling, fatigue, and discomfort.
When should I wear these?
You should wear these just as you would a regular sock. While you're out running errands, hanging with friends, exercising or lounging at the house. If you suffer from poor circulation, swelling, edema, etc. it is best to put these on as soon as you wake up.
You should never sleep in your compresion socks.
