How tight should compression stockings be?
Compression stockings should fit snugly but comfortably. The level of compression varies by use and personal preference, typically falling within the range of 15-30 mmHg for everyday wear and higher for specific medical needs. The goal is to provide pressure that encourages healthy blood circulation without causing discomfort or restriction.
To ensure the right fit, measure the size of your calves and choose the correct size according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. If they cause pain or have a feeling of excessive tightness, they may be too tight and should be adjusted or replaced. Empower your legs with the right level of support to enhance performance and recovery. Level up your game with the ideal fit today!
