Frequently asked questions about Kompressionsstrumpor

When should you wear compression socks?

Compression socks can be worn when your legs feel tired, heavy or swollen, as well as when you stand, walk or sit for long periods. They can be worn during the working day, on longer journeys or during physical activity. The most suitable compression level depends on how you plan to use the socks and your individual needs.

How long should you wear compression socks?

How long you can wear compression socks depends on the compression level, how they are being used and your individual needs. Many people wear them for part or all of the day and take them off in the evening. If compression socks have been recommended by a healthcare professional, you should follow the instructions you have been given.

When should you not wear compression socks?

Compression socks are not suitable for everyone. Certain circulation problems, skin conditions, wounds or other medical conditions may make compression unsuitable or require an individually adapted approach. If you have a condition that affects blood circulation, have wounds on your legs or are unsure whether compression socks are suitable for you, consult a doctor or other healthcare professional before use.

How should compression socks fit?

Compression socks should fit snugly and evenly around the leg without bunching or rolling down. They should provide noticeable pressure but should not cause pain, numbness or significant discomfort. If the socks feel too tight or fit loosely, you may need to check the size and your measurements.
