Travel Compression Socks For Men
Compression socks for men who travel are invaluable. Not only do compression socks add comfort during your travel, they also help reduce pain in your legs after a long flight. It is important NOT to use compression socks if you are a diabetic, as they are designed to circulate blood flow through your legs if they are stiff or cramped.
There are a variety of styles for men who travel. You can get compression socks at the calf, knee level, or up to the thigh (which comes in handy if you are hiking in high altitude areas, as it keeps your warm, and the blood flowing).
Generally, you can obtain compression socks over the counter, though it is possible to get stronger ones with a prescription. If you are a businessperson who travels extensively, you may be able to get a prescription from your doctor, though I would recommend giving the lower pressure ones a shot beforehand. These are between 10-20 mmHg (millimeters of mercury), though the prescription strength alternatives often exceed 40-50 mmHg.
You can purchase men's compression socks at your local pharmacy, or purchase them online at providers such as Docortho.com Compressionstockings.com
I have used these personally and swear by them. Many men enjoy compression socks for travel, while others use them throughout the day. I have found them to be a little too restrictive for day to day use, but if the sock fits.
