The Importance of Wearing Compression Hosiery on Flights
Share
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."
