When purchasing a product in a single copy, you should carefully consider its color scheme so that it is ideal for everyday use. For convenience in use, it is better to purchase two pairs of compression tights in order to provide you with the opportunity to replace one product with another at any time.

How to wear and care?

You can wear compression tights for a whole day, removing them, if necessary, and giving the legs a "rest".

In some cases, it may be necessary to use round-the-clock use of compression tights, since with the serious development of varicose disease, the load on the veins and vessels of the lower extremities occurs even at night.

To easily put on compression tights or stockings, you can use a special device that helps stretch the product and easily squeeze your foot into it.

If there is no possibility of acquiring or using such a device and it is necessary to wear a compression garment manually, you should follow a few simple rules.

The product must be rolled along the entire length, starting to wear it from the sock, gradually straightening the entire leg.

You should not try to force pantyhose, because the product can not withstand the pressure and tear, which will lead to a complete loss of therapeutic effect.

Take off tights with the same caution. You can not pull them, rub the leg against the leg with force, hook them with your nails, because these actions can lead to damage to the product.

For accurate and safe removal of compression tights, you need to gradually roll them along the leg from top to bottom. Such manipulations with the product will ensure its safety and greater durability.

Compression tights require not only a careful attitude in the process of use, but also equally careful care of the product.

  • It is necessary to wash the compression tights in cool water, it is better to use a special powder or detergent.
  • It is better to do the washing with your hands, soaking the product with soapy water, so that you do not have to expose it to strong mechanical stress.
  • If it is not possible to wash the tights on the hands, you can use the machine wash in manual mode by setting the minimum speed mode.
  • In no case can not resort to drying in the drum, it may cause damage to the product.
  • It is best to produce spin independently, without resorting to using a washing machine. A good ally in this business will be a thick terry towel that will perfectly absorb excess moisture.
  • During the drying process, it is impossible to resort to vertical hanging of the product, since this may lead to its stretching and loss of the compression effect.
  • To dry the compression tights need on a flat vertical surface, which has no rough edges.
  • Any slightest unevenness can lead to the appearance of hooks, which can later be transformed into small holes, which will lead to the further spread of the fibers of the product.

Considering all these moments and observing all the rules, you can keep the purchased product in excellent condition, which will contribute to its longer use.

Reviews

  • As soon as she became pregnant, my husband bought for me compression tights of the company Sigvaris. Before pregnancy, she suffered from minor problems with her legs, and when she began to gain weight, the problems increased. It was then that I had to resort to wearing these tights, which became a real lifeline! The legs did not hurt, stopped swelling, and small spider veins gradually disappeared.
  • I was pregnant twice, both times I used Intex tights. The product is beautiful, the price is justified, and the effect is striking, because all the time of pregnancy I felt light in my legs and fluttered like a butterfly.
