What "Graduated" Actually Means
Not every sock labelled compression is graduated, and plenty labelled 15-20 mmHg have never been tested. Here is the specification ours is built to.
AnkleFirmest point15-20 mmHg
Mid calfEasing~70%
Below kneeLightest~40%
Graduated means the pressure changes as it goes up your leg. Firmest at the ankle, easing through the calf, lightest below the knee. A sock with the same pressure top to bottom is not graduated, whatever the listing says.
15-20 mmHg is Class 1, the standard everyday range worn without a prescription. It supports circulation and helps ease the everyday swelling and heaviness that build through the day.
The wide-calf part is where most maternity socks fall down. Ours is cut to hold its profile out to a 22-inch calf rather than relying on stretch to get there.
Wearing Compression Through Pregnancy
Graduated compression is a common everyday comfort measure in pregnancy for tired, heavy-feeling legs, used alongside resting with your legs up, staying hydrated and gentle movement.
Swelling that comes on suddenly, affects one leg noticeably more than the other, or appears in your face or hands is worth raising with your midwife or doctor rather than managing at home.
This is general comfort guidance, not a claim about this product. We are not a registered medical device and we do not make medical claims. What we can tell you is how the sock is built and how it fits, and that is above.
Comfortable right through the evening
In the third trimester, your feet and ankles often swell and start to ache by the end of the day.
These stay comfortable from morning to night, soft and breathable rather than tight, so you can keep them on without watching the clock.
Easy to put on by yourself
By around week 30, reaching your own feet gets hard, and a lot of compression socks turn into a two-person job.
These have a wide, stretchy opening that slides over the heel instead of gripping it. Sit on the edge of the bed with your knee up, and they go on easily.
Questions Mothers Ask Before Ordering
What kind of compression are these?
They are 15-20 mmHg graduated compression, the standard everyday range you can wear without a prescription. Graduated means firmest at the ankle, easing up the leg. If you would like the detail on how they are made, just ask and we will share what we have.
Are these a medical device?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. We are not registered as one and we do not make medical claims. What we can tell you is how they are built and how they fit. If you have been prescribed compression at a specific pressure, follow that.
Can I get these on by myself at 34 weeks?
It is the question we get most, and it is why the sock is knitted the way it is. Sit on the edge of the bed and bring your knee up rather than bending forward over your bump. Most mothers manage first try.
What if my calf is bigger next month?
It probably will be. Email us your order number and the size you need and we will send it free, through your pregnancy and the first eight weeks after. Keep the original pair.
How tight should they feel?
Like a hand resting on your leg. Firmest at the ankle, easing upward. If they pinch, hurt or leave a mark, they are too small and we will swap free.
When should I start wearing them?
Whenever they start feeling useful, which for most mothers is somewhere in the second trimester. There is no right week. For a view specific to you, ask your midwife or OB.
How long is delivery?
Five to seven business days. We ship direct from our manufacturing partner. Past 37 weeks, buy locally instead. We would rather say so than have them arrive while you are in hospital.
Where our expertise stops
These are comfort socks built to a stated specification. We are not a registered medical device, we make no medical claims, and we are not a substitute for your care. Swelling that comes on suddenly, affects one leg more than the other, or appears in your face or hands is worth a call to your midwife or doctor rather than a pair of socks.
