When I was pregnant with both of my sons, I experienced significant swelling in my ankles and my feet. Since I continued teaching throughout my pregnancies, and stand on my feet all day, I would find myself extremely uncomfortable by the time I got home.
Most of the compression socks that I found at the time were not very fashionable and not particularly comfortable. Thankfully, pregnant women and everyday people today don’t have to worry about that because VIM & VIGR brings the benefits of compression socks to more people who need everyday relief.
In my case as a teacher, being on my feet daily puts greater strain on my circulatory system and on my legs and feet, which can cause fatigue and varicose veins. People in professions where they have to be on their feet all the time, such as healthcare providers, teachers, hair stylists, flight attendants and servers, are at an increased risk of suffering these conditions.
Additionally, pregnancy increases blood volume and pressure, which can inhibit blood flow and lead to swelling, fatigue, and varicose veins. In fact, about 30% of all expectant mothers will experience varicose veins during their first pregnancy. After a second or subsequent pregnancy, the odds increase to 55%.
VIM & VIGR compression socks are also great for increasing the tissue oxygen recovery rate and reducing muscle soreness after working out. Additionally, people who spend extended amounts of time sitting at their jobs or travel frequently can decrease their chances of getting blog clots in their legs by wearing these compression socks.
The best part is that this line of compression socks is not only functional, it is also fashionable. They come in a variety of colors and styles that have attractive designs and are made with multiple fabrics such as nylon, wool and cotton. These are certainly not your grandmother’s compression socks!
It’s time that you upgrade your socks with a pair that is going to work harder at making your more comfortable throughout the day. You won’t have to compromise looking great for feeling even better. As a matter of fact, you will be the only one who will know that you are wearing compression socks while everyone else will just think that you are fashion savvy!

I have bad circulation in both my legs and swelling never really ever goes down. I have tried those compression socks the doctors tell you about but they cause more pain then they are worth! AND I can’t get them on or off–so guess who does not use them. I will have to try these–maybe I will be able to get them on and off!!
I could see where that would be a problem, perhaps this brand would be different? I do like the styles and designs.
Oh I needed these when I was pregnant. I had HELLP syndrome.
Love the styles! Nice to see they are making more comfortable choices. I think they’d be very helpful when for teaching or volunteer work. Standing all day certainly does take its toll!
For factory workers too. My mom could use a pair of these standing on hard concrete floors all day!
I’m trying to conceive and am going to have to remember these socks. I had such a rough pregnancy last time and these would have been awesome. The hospital gave me some compression socks, but they were ugly. These socks are much more stylish!
I’ve known people that have had to use compression sock and they were so UGLY! These are so fantastic and cool and fun. I must show my compression sock wearing friends!
I would have never guessed these were compression socks! Times have changed from the utilitarian ones my Grandmom wore.
I imagine these are very comfortable and stylish. I could use some for my forearms and wrists, maybe they will come out with a whole line of them?
My doctor recommended I get some compression socks to help improve circulation! I love how stylish these are!
I am a runner and love these. I will definitely be adding a few pair to my collection. I love that they are full compression socks and not just sleeves.
Wow! They look great! I wouldn’t have known they were compression socks at all! I love the styles, very cute!
I’ve never used compression socks, but thinking about it it might be useful having a pair, I do suffer with swelling to my ankles. x
Those are so cute and look so comfortable!!! So much better than the “Grandma” versions!! 🙂
Those are the cutest compression socks that I have ever seen. Usually they are ugly and not terribly stylish. These ones are the opposite!
Those are so cute! I had terrible swelling with my first child and these would have been so handy.
I could have used some of these when I was pregnant. Also, I had a leg injury that causes my ankle and lower leg to swell at times. I’ll have to get some of these!
I remember my feet swelling with all of my pregnancies. I wish I would have had some of these type of socks.
haha these are simply adorable – I actually want to have those myself!
