Compression Tights In The Uk

[miranda]

Hi , I am looking for some compression tights for my orthostatic hypotention ,

so wonder if anyone can recommend any suitable for this.

I have a pair of compression stockings which I got prescribed by the NHS - local nurses should be able to prescribe them and a pair of 'skins' footless compression tights designed for runners/athletes.

Have you tried asking your GP for some?

Hello,

I am trying SPANX (ordered from next) they cover the thigh and abdomen area.

I really don't know if they have enough compression power but they are very comfortable and described as control garments so I think they must give some help.

Alternatively I have been told a GP can prescribe proper ones on NHS prescription.

Thank you for the ideas , I did have some prescribed by my gp and they were so uncomfortable and kept rolling down my leg. So I tried a suspender belt which felt so uncomfortable.

As its now summer , today I have a pair of white linen trousers on (pants)

and want to wear my open sandels , its so diffiuclt knowing what to wear with it.

I have found this site on ebay and the compression pants are alot cheaper than the shops here ,

BUT the sizes make no sence to me , I am a uk size 12 - 14 and think the sizes on here might be

American ?
