Compression tights are a must for many. They keep your circulation circulating and offer support where it's needed most. What more could you want? An alternative! Some people want a little more than the standard, and plenty of our customers have confided in us that our stockings are a great substitute to the norm.

People of all shapes, sizes, and genders have come to us, each with their own unique reason. Be it a leg injury, pain, circulation issues, or beyond, they're all in search of the same thing: A compression stocking alternative. The most common complaint we hear is that standard compression stockings are too tight and that thigh highs are the perfect substitute. And we believe them because thigh highs, and stockings are a fantastic alternative to compression socks. The tight-fit fabric exerts just enough pressure on the legs to mimic compression socks while also allowing some room to breathe. This convenient design feature can be important to those who shop plus size or who may have certain fit requirements. But no matter your body type, the same magic of thigh highs applies to everyone: confidence, style, support, comfort, and that perfectly supported feeling that's hard to replicate with anything else.

So, if you think you're ready to step out of your regular compression socks and into your new compression stocking alternative, we have just the guide for you below.

Supportive Thigh Highs: A Smart Compression Stockings Alternative?

What are Alternatives for Compression Stockings?

Alternative options to compression stockings include compression wraps, pneumatic compression devices, tights and of course, thigh highs. Thigh highs offer a distinctive twist to compression wear, providing the necessary support with slightly more flexible and breathable material, making them ideal for people with special size requirements. So, while we may not offer compression stockings, we do have the next best thing.

Understanding Compression Stockings

Compression stockings are specialized garments designed to improve circulation and provide therapeutic benefits. These snug-fitting stockings apply graduated pressure to the legs, with the highest compression at the ankle and gradually decreasing towards the upper leg. This unique design promotes blood flow back to the heart, helping to prevent and alleviate conditions like varicose veins and edema. By reducing swelling and enhancing circulation, compression stockings are widely used to alleviate discomfort associated with prolonged periods of standing or sitting, such as during long flights or for individuals with certain medical conditions. Additionally, they play a crucial role in managing chronic venous disorders and promoting overall leg health.
