It's true, nurses are at an incredibly high risk of developing varicose veins. A study from Dhulikhel Hospital suggests nearly 1 in 2 nurses will develop varicose veins.

And once you have them, they don't go away.

Well… There is one way.

And that's to get expensive and painful laser treatment surgeries called “Vein Stripping”.

$1,500–$3,000Cost of vein stripping surgery

Not CoveredInsurance considers it cosmetic

Yeah, it sounds pretty painful and costs between $1,500 to $3,000. And the worst part is, insurance doesn't cover that cost because it's considered a “cosmetic” problem — not something that's life threatening.

⚠️

Real Risk, Real Consequences

There was a 42 year old woman that reported through DailyMail how this vein treatment procedure led to a flesh-eating bug that ‘ate’ both of her legs.

That's why there's a Vascular Surgeon who makes ALL of his nurses wear compression socks.

“Your legs will look like a million bucks when you're older.”
— Vascular Surgeon, Vein Specialist

And it's true. Prevention is always better than cure. Especially with the high stakes of getting them along with their tendency to get worse and worse over time.

✅

It's not too late if you already have some veins forming…

Compression socks can help prevent them from further worsening and if it's in its very early stages it can even effectively treat them.

“Compression socks offer a minimally invasive treatment for vascular disease. Wearing compression socks can be an effective treatment for vascular conditions, like varicose veins or chronic vascular disease. They can help relieve symptoms and improve blood flow to your legs.”
— Dr. Orlova, Vascular Surgeon, Geisinger Medical Center

But it doesn't end there.

Most people think varicose veins ONLY impact your appearance. But that couldn't be anything further from the truth.

🔍 The Hidden Dangers of Varicose Veins

⚠️

If left untreated, Varicose Veins can be life threatening.

When varicose veins are neglected for a prolonged period of time, it reaches a stage where it can actually be life threatening through blood clots.

The medical word for this is “Thrombophlebitis” — which occurs when blood clots up in a varicose vein. The vein becomes painful, hard and warm to the touch.

This blood clot cuts off oxygen supply to the heart and creates an extremely high chance of a heart attack.

⏰ Recognizing varicose veins early on is VITAL.

Once they reach a certain stage, even compression socks can do you no good. They continue to get worse and worse through different stages.

The pain associated with vein problems will cause the average sufferer to slow down. In more severe cases, you can lose your ability to move around completely — forcing you into a wheelchair.

Whether mild or severe, it disrupts and decreases your quality of life.

Real Nurse Story

Night shift nurse shares her story of developing varicose veins

“

I knew compression socks were important to wear as a nurse, but just couldn't stand how my expensive ted hose stockings kept slipping down during my shift. When I stopped wearing my stockings, I started to notice these bulgy dark blue veins forming.

At first it was not as noticeable, but over time it became VERY disgustingly noticeable. The embarrassment and pain associated with it was unbearable. I stopped wearing shorts and decided to only wear pants because of how noticeable these veins were.

At this point, even my stockings were no help as the severity of the veins had gotten to a peak.

So I had to get 2 (very painful) vascular surgeries to treat my varicose veins. After my surgery I knew this time I had to prevent varicose veins at all cost.

But I didn't want to wear those same stockings that keep slipping down. Luckily, my doctor had told me that the more athletic compression socks for runners have a perfect fit that don't slip down.

And boy oh boy was he right! My compression socks don't slip down anymore and I have bought multiple designs of them!

What Sets Us Apart

What makes our compression socks the BEST in the market?

Product Details / Feature Image

🏥

Medical-Level Compression, Lighter Fit

Most big brands like Bombas and Comrad offer 15-20 mmHg — good for the average joe, but not for nurses.

Vascular Surgeons recommend 20-30 mmHg for nurses — which is what we offer. This level is the best to prevent and even treat varicose veins.

Our 360° stretch material balances out the “tight” feeling — giving you just enough support without cutting into your legs.

Best of both worlds: Medical-grade support + all-day comfort

💰

Why Pay a "Medical Markup"?

Real medical-grade compression stockings can run you $60 to $100 a pair. Popular brands charge 55% more than we do for a single pair.

We use a premium 80% Nylon / 20% Spandex blend — the exact durable, high-elasticity fabric needed for true 20-30mmHg graduated compression.

95% of the medical benefit for 25% of the price

The "Air-Conditioning" Effect

Most cheap compression socks feel like plastic bags. They trap heat, create sweat, and by hour 4, you're itching to rip them off.

We engineered a Ventilated Nylon Weave — naturally hydrophobic fabric that pushes moisture away from your skin where it evaporates instantly.

✓Zero “Soggy Foot” feeling

✓No itch mid-shift

✓Prevents odor-causing bacteria

What Nurses Are Saying

Nurses were going absolutely bonkers over it…

Got the socks yesterday and wore them at work. I work 12 hour shifts and on my feet all the time. Let me tell you— they feel comfortable. I'm a plus sized nurse and got the 5XL, they fit perfectly!!! They are comfortable and my legs felt good after 12 hours of work. Thank you!!!!

A***s

The stockings are spectacular, they arrived within 3 days of placing the order. The material is very good. They reach the knee and do their compression function. I recommend them 100%.
