Choosing The Right Support Products: From Jobst Support Socks To Pregnancy Belts

By: Mark Etinger Home | Health-and-Fitness


If you feel like you need extra support, you might be wondering where to begin. There are so many options out there, including pregnancy belts, varicose veins stockings, and Jobst support socks, and each addresses a different set of needs. Read on for details to help you discover which support products are right for you.

Jobst Support Socks

Some support products make you choose between style and support, but not Jobst support socks. Available for men and women, Jobst products provide support in a variety of formats, from knee high trouser socks for women to ribbed athletic socks for men. No matter which product is right for you, one great feature of Jobst compression socks is that they look just like standard products — no one is going to notice that you're wearing "special" socks for added support.

Best of all, Jobst support socks have multiple health benefits. They work wonders at soothing tired or painful calves, while increasing circulation and decreasing the likelihood of swelling. When you're wearing Jobst support socks, you'll feel the short-term benefits, and know that your compression socks are also helping to ensure that you have healthy legs for years to come.

Varicose Veins Stockings

Manufactured by Jobst support socks and other brands, varicose veins stockings can help prevent varicose veins by boosting circulation. The best varicose veins stockings are tightest at the ankles and become gradually looser as you move up the leg. Although typically associated with women, men are also vulnerable to varicose veins, and can receive protection by investing in Jobst compression socks.

For women, choosing compression hose for varicose veins doesn't have to mean giving up on style. Available knee-, thigh-, and waist-height, most varicose veins stockings come in a variety of colors like black, blue, white, and beige, and are available opaque or sheer, with closed or open toes. Jobst support socks and compression hose come in a variety of different increments of pressure, including 15-20mmHg, 20-30mmHg, and 30-40mmHg.

Without varicose veins compression hose and socks, your likelihood of developing varicose veins increases — a painful condition that sometimes requires surgery. Your risk goes up even higher if your job requires you to stand or sit for long amounts of time, or if you have circulation problems.

Pregnancy Belts

To prevent back pain during pregnancy, many women rely on a maternity support girdle or belt. These products provide support underneath the belly, thus taking some of the pressure off your back. A maternity support belt can also relieve some skin stretching, thus reducing the risk of pregnancy stretch marks.

Pregnancy belts are available in multiple support levels and can be further customized with adjustable Velcro and pulls. This way, you can continue to wear your maternity support girdle throughout your pregnancy, even as your belly grows. Additionally, each maternity support belt is extremely discreet, allowing you to wear it without a trace under most outfits. That way, you're getting the support you need, but no one has to know about it!
