Identical to high end brands, we take 4-6 compression measurements at precise intervals between the ankle and end of garment. Multiple measurements guarantee our garments are comfortable and deliver an accurate distribution of the pressure gradient.

Compression leggings work by enhancing blood flow to the muscles in your legs and ankles, which reduces swelling and pain. The purpose of compression leggings is to improve blood circulation and minimize cardiovascular strain. Many of us use the term ‘leggings’ interchangeably with ‘yoga pants’ or other workout leggings, so we would say there isn’t much of a difference and these terms can be easily swapped. Compression leggings apply gentle pressure to the muscles in the legs. This pressure improves blood circulation in the legs for those who sit or stand for long periods of time during the day. Athletes also use them to maximize performance during a workout or game. For most people, the idea is to keep blood flowing and eliminate the swelling in feet and ankles you might notice after sitting or standing for long periods of time. Leggings are usually made of cotton and lycra, though they now come in an astonishing range of finishes (shiny, matte), lengths (ankle, mid-calf, capri length, and full-length leggings), colors, cuts, and even materials (from plain cotton to denim-looking “jeggings” and even leather and faux leather leggings).

Opaque: The term “opaque stockings” is used to describe hosiery that tends to be non-translucent Opaque stockings are usually about 50 deniers or higher in weight, thus achieving its thick appearance. Opaque stockings can be made from a variety of materials, including nylon. Opaque stockings combine outstanding functionality with an especially soft and pleasant feel. Their refined opacity discreetly hides blemishes while effective moisture management and ease of donning support everyday comfort. As you might imagine, a sheer is going to be a bit more breathable than an opaque stocking. An opaque is wonderful for cooler months when you want the extra warmth. An opaque stocking will effectively hide very pronounced varicosities or unwanted sunspots, while the sheer will cover your legs, but still mildly expose your skin.

To help muscles recover after sports, compressions socks and stockings are usually for 15-20 mmhg. Low compression levels such as 15-20 mmHg are an excellent choice for daily wear of compression stockings to help with mild swelling and leg fatigue from lengthy periods of travel, sitting or standing. Particularly if you have a sedentary job, wearing compression garments of 15-20 mmHg dramatically helps minimize leg swelling and subsequent discomfort versus not wearing them. The lowest level of compression is helpful for mild to moderate swelling and pain and may also help prevent varicose veins (especially during pregnancy). Light compression helps prevent swelling, leg pain and deep vein thrombosis and is a popular choice for frequent flyers.

Many people wear 15-20 mmHg graduated compression stockings to maintain good leg health as well as energize their legs throughout the day.
