Plusock UK: Compression Socks & Socks & Slippers

Compression socks are specialized socks that apply gentle pressure to your legs, ankles, and feet. They are designed to improve blood flow and circulation, reduce swelling, and relieve pain and discomfort.

Plusock is committed to providing plus size people with suitable compression socks to help them relieve feet problems.

Compression socks work by applying graduated pressure to the legs, ankles, and feet. The pressure is highest at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg, helping to improve blood flow and circulation.

We offer socks in two compression levels.

• Our socks offer a moderate, 18-25 graduated compression that’s intended to feel like a warm, gentle hug on your legs.
• Our socks offer a moderate to firm, 20-30 graduated compression which is a medical grade compression level and often comes as a prescription or recommendation by a healthcare provider. Commonly used for moderate edema, lymphedema, Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), pre and post-surgical applications, moderate spider and varicose veins.

Yes, they should feel like a really comfortable hug (we call it 'the squeeze') but you shouldn't feel pain or discomfort. It may take a week for your legs to adjust and you may feel a throbbing sensation (that mean's they're working). It's important to find a compression level that addresses your health goals while minimizing discomfort.

The frequency with which you should wear compression socks depends on your individual needs and circumstances.

If you are wearing compression socks for a specific condition, such as varicose veins or edema, your doctor may recommend a specific schedule for wearing them.

In general, compression socks can be worn every day, but it's a good idea to take them off at night to allow your skin to breathe and to prevent irritation or discomfort.

If you are wearing compression socks for sports or exercise, you may want to wear them during the activity and for a period of time afterward to aid in recovery.
