Sigvaris Cotton Support Hose

These support hose are made by physicians in Switzerland, but of course you can get them anywhere in the world.

The Beauty of Support Hose

If your blood tends to pool in your feet and legs throughout the day, you know it can be a scary and even painful experience. It can leave you dizzy, lethargic and uncomfortable overall.

The "beauty" of support hose may sound like an oxymoron, but they're not all thick and gaudy as you may fear. They even come in a variety of colors. Some are sheer and look like normal hose. The real beauty, though, comes with the relief they can offer your legs and feet. And they do it while allowing your skin to breathe well through a variety of different materials, from cotton to rubber.
