Review on ๐Ÿงฆ NuVein Medical Compression Stockings: 15-20 mmHg Support for Women & Men, Knee Length, Open Toe, Beige, Large by Alan Singh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits well, good quality; Gives your feet that "compression " that can be important

I consider both white and beige and unsurprisingly the only difference seems to be the colour. Those beige tones suit my legs more like beige with shorts, although up close, no one would mistake them for my real skin. I think they are mainly for people with edema, like diabetics or people with heart problems; or simply used as a precaution on long flights to prevent deep vein thrombosis which can sometimes even kill children. It's probably worth having a pair just for those long flights if you're doing a lot of long flights. Living in Hawaii, I take almost nothing with me, so it was high time I bought a pair. But the immediate reason I got some NOW is because I had ulcers on the front of my legs below the knees that just went away. not heal. Some of them are "liquid nitrogen burns" after going to the dermatologist 3 months ago; if you're a redhead in Hawaii, they'll freeze any freckle that gives them the wrong look. My doctor said this is normal, it just takes longer for wounds below the knee to heal, but that didn't happen when I was younger, so I decided to try compression stockings. (By the way, I'm not talking about horrible wounds, just small scabs that never resolve). And after using them, there is some healing. whether it is cause and effect or just "post hoc ergo propter hoc" is impossible to understand without a control group. I'm a 6ft male with muscular legs and they fit perfectly. They also have hairy legs, which is less convenient. They are well packaged and a good size; Dressing it up probably looks like a woman putting on hosiery, but I've never done it. One of the first things I noticed was that if you have really hairy legs, all of your follicles will protest as soon as you drag them over them, and they'll keep protesting in the background. If I was serious, I might have to shave my legs, but that's not good for me. I was glad the socks came down to my calves; they were exactly what I had hoped for. Toeroom is probably good, but the tennis shoes I wear need thicker socks, so I put my thick white athletic socks over them. So the "toeless" end curls up and it took me some time to roll it back right under the gym sock. But for now I'm compressing and we'll see if that helps my healing. I definitely feel compression. From the knee down, it looks a bit like Superman's swimsuit, made of invulnerable Kryptonian fabric. It's not, but I'm impressed with the quality. It doesn't look like it will hook easily, it seems pretty sturdy. I have yet to report whether this will decrease after washing, but while I'm sitting here and typing, my leg hurts quite a bit. I believe it's worth 18mmHg. Art. although I think this will vary depending on the diameter of the foot. So far he has my recommendation.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • I won't say anything
