Other functions of stockings

1. Modify your legs

Some minor flaws and defects on the legs can be covered by stockings. In addition, the softness and smoothness of stockings can increase the beauty of the legs. Wearing stockings can give people a solemn, beautiful and elegant feeling. Therefore, female employees in many industries must wear stockings when working.

2. Prevent varicose veins

People walk upright. Due to the gravity of the earth, the pressure on the leg veins is much greater than that on other parts of the body. Therefore, many people are prone to varicose veins in their legs. Applying a certain amount of external force to the legs can prevent or reduce the occurrence of varicose veins in the legs. Wearing stockings can play this role.

3. Prevent edema

People who work standing for a long time, such as receptionists and waiters in hotels, waiters in shopping malls, soldiers on guard, etc., are prone to edema because their legs are in a low position for a long time. Wearing stockings is equivalent to applying a certain amount of pressure to the legs from the outside, which can greatly reduce leg pain, swelling and fatigue. People who sit on airplanes for a long time can also avoid blood clots in their legs by wearing tight pantyhose or stockings. Therefore, stewardesses wear stockings not only for beauty, but also for health.

4. Keep warm

When the weather is cold and you don’t want to wear too thick clothes, you can choose a pair of stockings of appropriate thickness to wear on your legs (of course you can also wear the stockings inside your trousers). This way you can keep warm and avoid your legs being too bloated.

5. Prevent sweating and sticking to the body

In summer, when you wear trousers, your legs will sweat and the trousers will stick to your legs, increasing the friction between your leg skin and the trousers, which will cause great inconvenience to your movements. If you wear a pair of smooth, ultra-thin stockings under your trousers, the situation will be very different (the stockings should be highly breathable). At this time, whether your legs are sweating or not, the trousers will not stick to your leg skin, and any movement will not be affected.

6. Wear stockings when working in an air-conditioned room for a long time

In summer, people often wear very few clothes. If they work in an air-conditioned room for a long time, they will feel a little cold. Over time, they are prone to diseases such as arthritis and rheumatism. Wearing a pair of stockings on your legs can reduce the occurrence of the above phenomenon.
