Improved Circulation
Compression shapewear can improve circulation in patients. These garments apply gentle pressure to the ankles and legs, which helps blood flow from the legs more easily. The pressure of the garments increases blood flow volume and speed. Clothing can help prevent blood pooling on the legs and improve lymphatic drainage.
Patients with lymphedema or varicose Veins may be prescribed compression socks by their doctors. Shapewear leggings or shorts may also provide relief for patients with these conditions. Compression arm sleeves can help to improve lymphatic drainage. Shapewear for the abdomen can also help. On long trips, travelers often wear compression garments and shapewear to avoid blood clots. Only wear shapewear during the day. Before going to sleep, individuals should remove their shapewear.
