Compression Socks for Varicose Veins
Compression socks and stockings are an effective countermeasure against the development and/or spread of varicose veins. All styles of TXG graduated compression socks are suitable for varicose veins treatment and prevention. The level of compression you require will depend on your condition, so always refer to our compression guides or check with your doctor to see what compression level is best for you. Keep reading to find out more about what causes the condition, how it’s treated and why TXG compression products could offer you the perfect graduated compression socks or stockings for your varicose veins.
What Are Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins are created when blood in your veins struggles to flow back to your heart (against gravity) from your lower limbs because the leaflet valves in the veins in these areas are weak or damaged. These veins should be opening in the direction of blood flow before closing again immediately afterwards, but in some cases they can fail to do so and lose elasticity and stretch, allowing some blood to pool, enlarging the veins and become varicose. As this blood is deoxygenated, it appears as dark blue or purple lines on the skin’s surface.
It’s common for pregnant women to develop varicose veins during the nine months where they circulate increased blood around their body to support their growing child. Age also leads to weakened valves, and if you’re overweight and inactive or have a family history of varicose veins, you have a good chance of developing them. In most cases, varicose veins are just unsightly, but they can develop into painful ulcers on the skin above the affected veins, creating permanent skin discolouration, burst veins and in very severe cases, blood clotting.
Varicose veins are usually harmless but can make you feel self-conscious about revealing your legs, impacting your self-esteem. If the reason for your varicose veins isn’t temporary (such as pregnancy), you should consider long-term ways for preventing them from occurring and worsening, rather than leave them unattended and run the risk of a more severe condition developing.
With our modern stocking and sock designs, no one will ever know that you’re wearing compression wear.

from 3213 reviewsFantastic service. Sleeves are great! Thanks for the speedy delivery.

Best socks. Way better than the last ones I wore years ago which were all nylon and horrible.
Two 12 hour flights in a row, way more comfortable than previous flight socks I've tried.

An effective product that allows me to work long hours on my feet with varicose veins. Highly recommended service

I have a swollen foot and leg and a few other issues and I'm finding the Diabetic Sensitive Foot Socks to be really helpful. They're very nice socks to wear, soft but firm and comfortable. I love that they don't have seams on the foot as normally that really bothers me about socks. Good compression without being too much or too hard to put on. I only bought one pair to try but I'll be ordering more next week as the swelling is already much better..
The customer service is second to none. Heather is a great asset to TXG Socks, her manner is warm, caring, honest and friendly., rare qualities in a customer service person these days.

Was very comfortable, no leg soreness or pain at the end of my working day. It breathable

I have lymphedema in one leg - the stocking I bought did a great job in controlling my swelling. I wish the product was available in black

Customer service lovely, old fashioned and personal the way it used to be! Stockings are excellent, very firm compression. Thank you!

Order was delivered in record time. Product is super comfy and looking forward to using on those long haul flights!

Lovely product. Fit perfectly.

I had a c section and thanks to this socks my swelling got better and my veins got saved as I was developing a blood clot

Arrived quickly and great service.

Great product. Does the job perfectly.

These socks have been a godsend for the family members I purchased for. I bought 1 to see how it would go. As a diabetic of many years and swelling feet these were the very first pair to ever give him comfort without the uncomfortable compression or for these to fall down loosely without hold. So we bought 5 more!
