Makes you daydream, doesn’t it? But traveling to a faraway destination comes with a catch: a long-haul flight. Tight spaces, dehydration, and pressurized aircraft cabins can have the effect of dropping your blood’s oxygen levels. The result? Poor circulation in your lower limbs can cause a fair amount of discomfort, making a plane ride difficult to bear. These symptoms shouldn’t be taken lightly, as the risk of phlebitis or venous thrombosis is greatly increased while on a plane.

 

Compression Stockings to Counter the Effects of Altitude

In addition to good hydration and in-flight stretches, wearing compression stockings is a great way to prevent the damaging effects of altitude on the legs. These stockings gently exert pressure from the feet to the knees, or even the thighs, improving blood circulation and preventing discomfort!

Discreet and practical, compression stockings are ideal for long flights. You can wear them under casual pants, a long skirt, or any other garment of your choice. Because there are multiple levels of pressure available depending on your tolerance for discomfort or risk of poor circulation, we highly recommend that you consult our guide before making your purchase.

Before jetting off on your next getaway, discover Supporo compression stockings and choose from our wide selection of colors and styles.

 

Have a great trip!
