The Importance of Wearing Compression Hosiery on Flights

The Importance of Wearing Compression Hosiery on Flights

Tights, Pantyhose and Hosiery.

I have been traveling for years and I just realized that every time I fly and I am wearing tights, I don't get jet lag! This was the spark for the Walcing brand. 15% Spandex and 85% Nylon. Comfortable compression and run resistant.

Men and women can benefit. We wear so many things day-to-day and we forget that when we travel we can wear something fashionable that helps us be more comfortable and ready for your travels.

I flew to Melbourne, Australia from LAX. I wore a sample pair from our Ohio based manufacturer. I am so happy we have that 15% of spandex in our tights and pantyhose because it makes all the difference after a 18-20 hour flight.

From Mayo Clinic:

"Benefits of Wearing Compression Socks While Flying

Reduced Risk of DVT: Compression socks help maintain blood flow, reducing the likelihood of blood clots forming in your legs during prolonged immobility.
Prevention of Swelling: Sitting for long periods can lead to fluid accumulation in the legs and feet. Compression socks help prevent this swelling, keeping you more comfortable.
Alleviation of Discomfort: Compression socks can reduce leg pain and fatigue, making the flight experience more pleasant.
Enhanced Recovery: Wearing compression socks can help you feel better after the flight, as improved circulation promotes quicker recovery from the stress of travel."

We look forward to seeing where you travel in our tights, pantyhose and hosiery. Gender inclusive, comfortable and feels like a hug on your legs.
