The pants increase circulation, reduce swelling and provide even pressure that facilitates the blood's return to the heart. They can relieve the feeling of heaviness in varicose veins, help pregnant women with swollen legs, provide stability for athletes with groin problems and counteract fatigue if you sit for long periods at work. In the case of lymphedema and lipedema, compression is part of long-term self-care.

The graduated pressure helps blood to be transported upwards, which reduces fluid retention and fatigue in the legs. Many people experience lighter legs during the day, faster recovery after exercise and more stable support over the hip and thigh for groin problems. For medical conditions such as varicose veins or lymphedema, compression pants are often included in the treatment as prescribed.

People with severe arterial circulatory failure, advanced heart failure, untreated skin infections or open wounds under the garment should refrain from wearing the garment unless their healthcare provider has given clear advice. If you have diabetes with pronounced neuropathy or reduced sensation, use needs to be assessed by medically qualified personnel. If in doubt, contact your healthcare provider for advice on compression level and size.

The wrong size or compression level can cause discomfort, pressure marks or skin irritation. Pants that roll up at the waist or bunch at the knee create local pressure points. Measure the length and circumference of your legs in the morning, put on the garment with dry hands and make sure the fabric lies flat. Discontinue use if numbness, severe pain or discoloration occurs and consult your healthcare professional.

Each product has a unique size guide on the product page that clearly shows how and where to take your measurements for that particular model. As fit and measurement points may differ between different models, it is important to always follow the size guide for the specific product.

Most supports can be hand-washed at 30 degrees and should then be air-dried. It is important to close the Velcro straps before washing to reduce wear. You can always find exact washing instructions on the respective product page and on the information sheet that comes with the packaging.
