Stovepipe socks are used to thin legs and beautiful legs.
2. The materials of compression socks and stovepipe socks are different:

Compression stockings are divided into units according to pressure, and compression stockings are generally divided into
The primary pressure is mainly to prevent varicose veins;
The secondary pressure is mainly the treatment of mild varicose veins and the recovery treatment after varicose vein surgery;
The third grade pressure is mainly the treatment of severe varicose veins.
The unit of stovepipe socks is Deny number (D), such as 180D, 240D, 280D, 360D, 420D, etc. In theory, the higher the Danny number, the greater the pressure. But it is not that the greater the pressure, the better the effect.
