When is the best time to wear elastic stockings? It is best to wear elastic stockings before going down in the morning after getting up. The use of elastic stockings should be regulated: First, they should be insisted to be used every day; second, they should be started at the above mentioned time. Take off and cast wash with water every night before going to bed so that the elasticity of the elastic stockings can be restored and continue to use them the next day. When using the elastic stockings, you should choose the elastic stockings that are suitable for your leg thickness and elasticity level in order to make the elastic stockings have the maximum effect. For prevention, a level 1 stocking is sufficient, but for treatment, a level 2 or higher is usually required. After a few months of use, the elasticity of the stocking starts to decrease, so it should be replaced by a new one after half a year to maintain the original elasticity for the best therapeutic effect.
