Solidea Hosiery FAQ

What makes Solidea compression garments different?

Simply put, they’re stylish! For too long, compression stockings have been designed with only science in mind, with no consideration to how the wearer will feel having to wear them out and about. Solidea is turning that on its head by creating medical-grade compression wear that looks just like regular hosiery. From lace-top fishnet compression stockings to colourful or patterned compression tights, these Italian compression stockings and pantyhose can be elegant, sexy, fun, or understated, but never boring.

Are compression socks or leggings better?

Wearing cropped compression leggings for swelling in the ankles may prove a little less effective, since they only apply pressure above the affected area. However, either style will help since they both work in the same way: by pushing blood upwards in the veins, they allow ‘new’ blood to flow down the arteries into the legs and feet, hence boosting overall circulation in the lower limbs. The most important thing to bear in mind when choosing compression tights or stockings is not the style so much as the level of graduated compression included (mild, moderate or firm).

What are the best compression leggings for cellulite?

Solidea offers a variety of leg compression leggings and tights that fight cellulite in different ways. All use graduated compression to boost your blood flow, while some combine it with textured fabric that ‘massages’ the fat cells to break them down, and others combine it with the power of infrared to ‘melt’ fat cells instead. The Red Wave Solidea compression shorts incorporate all three technologies!

What are the benefits of Solidea Maternity?

During pregnancy, blood has a harder time returning from your lower limbs back up to your heart which can lead to swollen, heavy-feeling legs. Solidea Maternity compression stockings, tights, leggings and underwear help to ‘squeeze’ blood upwards inside your veins, boosting circulation and relieving those symptoms. All Solidea Maternity compression designs also come with bump support, to take some of the weight off your lower back.

Pantyhose vs tights vs leggings – what’s the difference?

Pantyhose and tights both cover the whole lower half of the body (feet to waist), with the difference being that pantyhose offer a more delicate, sheer look while tights are made from a thicker yarn that provides solid coverage. Leggings are usually opaque but can be sheer too, and stop at the knee, calf or ankle. Leggings designed to be worn under clothing are sometimes called footless tights.
