Are your compression stockings still doing their job? 🧦❌
Even if they look perfectly fine and have no holes, compression stockings need to be replaced every 5–6 months (or 7–8 months for high-quality medical-grade ones). After this period, the elasticity wears out, the compression drops, and the therapeutic benefit is lost.
💡 4 Golden Rules to make them last longer:
🧼 Washing: Wash by hand or machine at max 30–40°C (gentle cycle).
🚫 The Enemies: Never use fabric softeners or bleach—they destroy the elastic fibers.
🔥 Heat: Air-dry them away from radiators, dryers, or direct sunlight.
💅 Handling: Put them on carefully—watch out for rings and long fingernails.
If you can't remember when you bought your current pair, it’s probably time to replace them to keep protecting your leg health!
