1. What makes Aerys different from regular socks?
Aerys socks are designed with gentle graduated compression that supports circulation, reduces swelling, and relieves tired legs — something regular socks can’t do. Each pair combines medical-grade effectiveness with a soft, breathable design that looks and feels good all day long.
2. What materials are the socks made from?
They’re made from a premium blend of 85% nylon and 15% spandex — smooth, durable, and breathable with just the right amount of stretch for lasting comfort and support.
3. How tight should the socks feel?
They should feel firm and supportive, never painful or restrictive. You’ll notice a gentle pressure that eases tension in your calves and ankles. If they feel uncomfortably tight or leave deep marks, you may need a different size.
4. Are they suitable for all stages of pregnancy?
Yes — Aerys socks are safe and beneficial from early pregnancy through postpartum recovery. They help prevent and reduce swelling, cramps, and vein pressure at every stage.
5. How should I use them / when to put them on?
For best results, put them on in the morning before swelling starts, and wear them throughout the day. They’re especially helpful during long periods of standing, sitting, or travel.
6. Are there certain occasions I should use them or not use them?
They’re perfect for work, travel, errands, or light activity — anytime your legs need extra support. Avoid wearing them during high-intensity workouts unless advised by your doctor, as the compression may be too firm for vigorous movement.
7. How should I take care of the socks?
Wash them in cold water on a gentle cycle or by hand, and air dry to maintain compression strength. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying, as these can weaken the fibers over time.
8. How long should they last?
With proper care, each pair should maintain its compression and comfort for 6–12 months of regular wear — similar to other medical-grade compression garments.
9. Can I wear them every day?
Absolutely. Many women wear Aerys socks daily throughout pregnancy to reduce swelling and fatigue. They’re designed for everyday comfort, even on long shifts or travel days.
10. Can I also wear them if I’m not pregnant?
Yes! Aerys socks are loved by travelers, nurses, teachers, and anyone who stands or sits for long hours. The gentle compression supports healthy circulation for all women, not just moms-to-be.
11. Can I wear them while I’m sleeping?
It’s generally not necessary to wear compression socks while sleeping, as your legs are already elevated and resting. However, some women find it soothing during late pregnancy or postpartum recovery — if you do, choose a lighter compression and make sure they feel comfortable.
12. Are there any medical conditions for which I should avoid wearing compression socks?
If you have severe circulation problems, advanced diabetes, peripheral artery disease, or skin infections, consult your doctor before wearing compression socks. For most healthy pregnancies, they’re perfectly safe and highly recommended.
