Compression socks for lymphedema

Benefits of Graduated Compression for Lymphedema

Compression socks for lymphedema are designed to help manage swelling and improve comfort throughout your day. By applying gentle, graduated pressure—strongest at the ankle and easing up the calf—these socks promote healthy lymphatic flow and reduce fluid buildup. This targeted support can make walking and standing easier, helping you stay active and comfortable.

Key Features That Enhance Comfort and Effectiveness

• Graduated Compression: Supports circulation and manages swelling without restricting movement.
• Breathable, Soft Materials: Bamboo blends and mesh panels minimize irritation and maintain coolness.
• Non-Binding Tops: Gentle cuffs prevent constriction, ideal for sensitive skin.
• Accessibility Considerations: Easy-pull tabs and stretch fabrics make socks simple to put on, especially for elderly or disabled users.
• Durability & Warranty: Reinforced heels and toes for long-lasting wear; Soxy Toes offers a satisfaction guarantee on every pair.

How to Measure for the Best Compression Sock Fit

Choosing the right size is essential for comfort and effectiveness. Use a flexible tape measure to record:

• Ankle circumference: Measure just above the ankle bone.
• Calf circumference: Measure at the widest part of your calf.
• Leg length: Measure from the heel to the top of your calf (for crew or knee-high styles).

Compare your measurements to the sizing chart provided on each product page. Soxy Toes offers unisex, free-size options designed to fit most leg shapes comfortably.

Compression Ratings Explained: Selecting the Right Support Level

Compression socks are available in different pressure ratings, measured in mmHg. Mild compression (15-20 mmHg) is suitable for early-stage lymphedema or mild swelling. For moderate to severe symptoms, higher ratings (20-40 mmHg) may be recommended. Always consult a healthcare professional before choosing firm compression, as these may require a prescription.

Choosing the Right Style and Features

• Length Options: Crew and knee-high socks offer varying levels of coverage and support.
• Designs: Select from classic neutrals or vibrant patterns to match your personal style.
• Care Instructions: All Soxy Toes socks are machine-washable; gentle cycle and air-drying help maintain compression and shape.
• Replacement Guidance: Replace compression socks every 3–6 months or when elasticity declines for continued effectiveness.
