I am a 52-year-old woman with a demanding job as human resource manager. Naturally, I have to look the part, and have always felt most confident around the office when I wear high heels, short skirts and jackets. A few years ago, I started to develop bulging veins on my calves and became very self-conscious about the appearance of my legs. I stopped wearing skirts to work, but I thought, “this is silly.” Surely there was something I could do about my varicose veins.I talked to a pharmacist and he told me about varicose veins stockings, which help prevent legs from aching and swelling, and also slow down the development of new varicose veins. These support socks work by applying pressure to the legs and getting the blood circulating properly. Since discovering this easy way of managing varicose veins, I’ve been wearing Jobst support socks and stockings, and I wish I had discovered them sooner. My favorite varicose veins stockings are Jobst’s UltraSheer Thigh High Closed Toe stockings, which come in sun bronze, silky beige and black. They relieve my aching legs when I’m at work and stop the swelling, and best of all, they look sheer and elegant—just like the regular stockings I used to wear. I’m back in my short skirts and managing my staff with confidence.
