Wearing elastic stockings is a good way to prevent venous thrombosis and varicose veins in the lower extremities, and they are often used for fat management in the legs and for shaping the leg muscles. However, elastic stockings should not be worn for too long, and it is best for women to wear them for no more than 12 hours a day. If this time period is exceeded, it is not good for lymphatic reflux and for local blood supply, and there are relative side effects such as itchy skin, skin discomfort and poor skin permeability. It is usually not recommended to wear elastic stockings for more than 12 hours a day, and if you must wear them for a long time, you can wear them intermittently. That is, relax after wearing elastic stockings for four hours, and then relax again after wearing them for a period of time, so that the effect is better alternately.
