Tynor Compression Stockings (Below Knee) are premium, medical-grade vascular support garments. Made from high-quality, dermophilic (skin-friendly) spandex and nylon yarns, they are designed to provide specialized graduated compression starting from the ankle and gently decreasing up the calf.
Worn daily as directed by a physician, they are used to manage varicose veins, prevent Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), reduce lower leg swelling (edema), and relieve tired, aching legs caused by prolonged sitting or standing.
When you stand or sit for long periods, gravity makes it harder for your veins to push blood back up to your heart. This can cause blood to pool in your lower legs, leading to swollen ankles, bulging varicose veins, or blood clots. Tynor Compression Stockings assist your circulation through physical support:
Graduated Compression: The stockings squeeze most tightly at the ankle (100% compression) and gradually ease the pressure as they go up the calf (70% compression). This pressure gradient acts like a pump, pushing pooling blood upwards.
Supports Vein Valves: By gently squeezing the stretched-out veins, the stockings help the tiny valves inside your veins close properly, stopping blood from flowing backward.
Reduces Swelling: The physical pressure prevents excess fluid from leaking out of your blood vessels into the surrounding leg tissues, keeping your ankles and calves slim and comfortable.
🚨 Critical Wear Warning: You must strictly put your compression stockings on first thing in the morning before you get out of bed.
Once you stand up and start moving, gravity immediately pulls fluid down into your lower legs, causing them to swell.
Trying to pull tight compression stockings over already-swollen legs is extremely painful, highly difficult, and can cut off your circulation. If you have already been up, lie down with your legs elevated on pillows for 15 minutes before putting them on.
Severe Arterial Disease: You must strictly never wear compression stockings if you have severe peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Because stockings squeeze your blood vessels, wearing them when you have poor arterial blood flow can completely cut off oxygen to your feet, risking tissue death (gangrene).
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): If you have uncontrolled heart failure, consult your cardiologist before use. Pushing pooled fluid from your legs back into your bloodstream all at once can overload a weak heart.
Skin Infections and Open Wounds: Do not wear the stockings directly over active skin infections, oozing eczema, or unbandaged open leg ulcers.
Never Fold or Roll Down: Do not fold the top band over or roll the stockings down if they feel too long. Folding them creates a tight, tourniquet-like ring that will trap blood in your lower leg and increase your risk of blood clots.
Choose the Right Size: Compression stockings must fit perfectly to work safely. Use a tape measure to measure your ankle circumference (narrowest part) and calf circumference (widest part) in the morning, and match them to Tynor’s size chart (S, M, L, XL, XXL).
The Normal Wearing Schedule: Put them on in the morning and wear them throughout the day while you are active, sitting, or standing. Always take them off before you go to sleep at night, unless your doctor has explicitly instructed you to wear them in bed.
Washing Instructions: Hand wash your stockings daily or every other day in cool water using a mild soap. Gently squeeze out excess water—never wring, twist, or put them in a dryer, as high heat and stretching will instantly destroy the spandex elastic fibers. Let them air dry flat in the shade.
1.Turn the stocking inside out down to the heel:The Pocket.
Slide your hand into the stocking all the way to the heel pocket. Grab the heel from the inside and pull the leg portion inside out, leaving just the foot portion right-side out.
2.Slide your foot in up to your heel:Foot Placement.
Slip your foot into the foot portion, ensuring your toes fit comfortably and your heel is placed perfectly into the stocking's heel pocket.
3.Gently pull the leg portion up over your calf:The Roll Up.
Slowly roll and slide the folded fabric up over your ankle and calf. Smooth out any wrinkles with the palms of your hands as you go. Never pull or yank the top band.
While highly beneficial, wearing compression stockings can occasionally cause minor skin or physical updates:
Mild skin dryness, itching, or temporary red indentations on your skin after taking them off.
A feeling of tightness or mild muscle aching during the first few days as your legs adapt to the pressure.
Note: If you experience coldness, pale skin, blue toes, sudden tingling, or total numbness in your foot, take the stockings off immediately. This is a sign that the stockings are too tight or your arterial circulation is restricted.
Can I wear below-knee compression stockings while flying on a plane?
Yes, absolutely. In fact, wearing below-knee compression stockings is highly recommended for long-distance flights (over 4 hours) to prevent "Economy Class Syndrome" (Deep Vein Thrombosis). The inactivity and cabin pressure can slow your blood flow, and the stockings keep your circulation active.
How often do I need to replace my Tynor compression stockings?
With daily wear and correct washing, a high-quality pair of Tynor stockings will maintain its medical-grade compression for about 3 to 6 months. Once the fabric begins to feel loose, wrinkles easily, or slides down your leg on its own, the elastic fibers have worn out and you must replace them to keep receiving therapeutic benefits.
Should I buy open-toe or closed-toe stockings?
Tynor offers both. Open-toe stockings are highly popular in warm climates like Nigeria because they keep your feet cool and allow you to wear open-toed sandals or slippers easily. They are also ideal if you have long toes, bunions, or ingrown toenails. Closed-toe stockings feel more like standard socks and provide full-foot coverage.

Notice: This guide is for educational and general tracking support only. Chronic leg swelling, non-healing skin ulcers, and severe varicose veins require a physical clinical evaluation by a vascular specialist or doctor. If you experience sudden, severe swelling in only one leg accompanied by sharp pain, heat, or redness (classic signs of an active DVT clot), do not put on a stocking; instead, seek emergency medical attention at the nearest hospital emergency department right away.
