Varicose Veins Stockings in the Office

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.

Jobst Support Socks Keep Me On My Feet



I’m a bouncer at a night club and when I'm standing on my feet for hours on end, it can be tiresome. I mean, I’m a pretty big guy, and my poor feet at the end of a shift are all red and swollen. I’m only twenty eight, and I already have varicose veins, for crying out loud! And every week it’s like this. After eight hours of standing, it really was pretty bad. That is, until I decided to get support.

No not support like, “Hi everyone, my name is Benny.” “Hi Benny!” But support like for my feet. After googling around I went to www.SupportSockShop.com and liked what I saw price wise, since, after all, I am a bouncer, not a stockbroker. I found some Jobst Support Socks and decided to buy them.

When they came in the mail after a couple of days, I was pretty eager. During my Saturday night shift I felt much more relaxed and comfortable. My feet didn’t hurt at all, and the pain before that began around midnight. But with these Jobst Support Socks, I really didn’t have to worry.

So if you have pain from standing for long periods of time, check out www.SupportSockShop.com. They helped me, and I’m sure that they can help you.

Maternity Support Belt Vs. Maternity Support Girdle: Which One’s For You?

With all the millions of things you have to worry about as an expectant mother, thinking of your spine safety probably hasn’t even registered on your radar. But think about it--while your belly grows, the strain on your back from carrying the weight can be tremendous. Many women find relief in wearing a maternity support belt or maternity girdle, which can take some the pressure of your lower back. But which one is right for you?

If you’re looking for lighter support that is more breathable, the maternity support girdle could be your best bet. The girdle is basically the same as regular underwear, but with handy bands of elastic sewn in the right places.

If you’re looking for more adjustability and more support, the maternity support belt could be the right answer for you. The belt differs from the girdle in that it’s comprised of a wide elastic band and Velcro to secure it. Although these can be great support for your back, many women find them uncomfortable because they can get hot.

All in all, if you’re having back pain during your pregnancy, it is recommended to try a maternity support belt or maternity girdle, before taking any medication. They are known to be a serious pressure reliever and quite affordable.

For a great selection of maternity support girdles and pregnancy belts, visit SupportSockShop.com!
