The compression hose for women are available in many sheer styles, making it nearly impossible to distinguish from traditional fine quality hosiery. Many of the hosiery styles boast breathable materials to help minimize perspiration, and softer materials to ease donning and doffing of the garments. The compression socks for men are available in knee high or thigh high and have the appearance of men’s dress stockings. Compression stockings are also available in Maternity styles with an expandable tummy panel, allowing room for baby to grow, while still protecting your legs from venous problems.
