Swollen Feet? Let's Fix That
Pregnancy often brings edema—swelling in the feet, ankles, and legs caused by increased blood volume and fluid retention. It can also raise the risk of varicose veins and even DVT (deep vein thrombosis). That’s where Comrad comes in. Our compression socks help reduce swelling, support circulation, and keep you feeling more like you.

How Comrad Helps
Our knee-high compression socks gently hug your legs to boost circulation, helping blood flow back up toward your heart. This increased circulation can reduce swelling, ease discomfort, and lower the risk of blood clots. That’s why so many medical professionals recommend compression socks during pregnancy.

What POTS Customers Say
Chief Medical Officer Holly S. Ryan
“One of the most common questions I hear as a vascular surgeon is whether compression socks are really necessary—or if they’re only meant for medical recovery. Compression isn’t just about treating discomfort—it’s about supporting your legs before discomfort becomes part of your routine.”

POTS + Compression FAQs
Do compression socks really help with POTS?
Yes, for many people with POTS, compression socks can make a meaningful difference with symptom management. POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) causes blood to pool in the lower extremities when you stand up, triggering a rapid heart rate as your body tries to compensate. Graduated compression socks apply gentle pressure from the ankle upward, helping push that blood back toward the heart and reducing the cardiovascular strain that causes symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, and fatigue.
Can I wear the all day?
Generally, yes — compression socks are designed for all-day wear and are most effective when put on first thing in the morning, before you get out of bed, since that's when blood pooling is most likely to occur upon standing. That said, you should take them off before sleeping. If you notice any discomfort, numbness, or skin changes, remove them and consult your doctor.
What if I'm new to compression?
If you've never worn compression socks before, a moderate compression level (15–20 mmHg) is a good entry point — it provides noticeable support without feeling overwhelming. You may want to begin by wearing them for a few hours at a time and gradually increasing wear as your body adjusts. Some initial tightness is normal, but pain or tingling is not. When in doubt, talk to your healthcare provider about what compression level is appropriate for your specific needs.
What's the difference between knee-high and thigh-high?
Knee-high socks compress from the foot up to just below the knee, which addresses the most common area of blood pooling and works well for most people with POTS. Thigh-highs extend compression all the way up the thigh, covering a larger surface area and providing more robust support — particularly useful for those with more severe symptoms or pooling that extends higher in the legs. Thigh-highs can be harder to put on and keep in place throughout the day, so many people start with knee-highs and move to thigh-highs only if they feel they need more coverage. Your doctor's recommendation and your symptom severity are the best guides here.
