What are stockings for?

Trim your legs.

Some small flaws and shortcomings in the legs can be covered up with stockings. In addition, the softness and smoothness of stockings can increase the aesthetic feeling of legs, which can be displayed by wearing stockings.

It gives people a sense of solemnity, beauty and elegance. Therefore, female employees in many industries must wear stockings when going to work.

Sunlight resistance

Going out in summer, sun protection is everyone's concern. If you don't take protective measures, your exposed face, arms and legs will be easily sunburned by the sun, so many people should wear sunscreen skin care products (such as sunscreen) before going out. But sunscreen is a chemical product, which has a certain influence on the body to some extent. If you wear a pair of stockings on your legs, you can greatly reduce the intensity of sunlight on your legs and play a protective role.

Prevention of varicose veins

People walk upright. Because of the gravity of the earth, the pressure on leg veins is much greater than that on other parts of the body, so many people are prone to varicose veins in their legs. Applying a certain external force to the leg artificially can prevent or reduce varicose veins in the leg. Wearing stockings can play this role.

Prevent edema

People who have been standing for a long time, such as greeters, hotel waiters, mall waiters, soldiers on guard, etc. Because the legs are in a low position for a long time, they are prone to edema. Wearing stockings is equivalent to exerting a certain pressure on the leg from the outside of the leg, which can greatly reduce the pain, swelling and fatigue of the leg. People who fly for a long time can also avoid leg thrombosis by wearing tight pantyhose or stockings. Therefore, flight attendants wear stockings not only for beauty, but also for health.

Cold and warm

When the weather is cold and you don't want to wear too thick clothes, you can choose a pair of stockings with the right thickness to wear on your legs (of course, you can also wear them in your pants), so as to keep warm and not make your legs too bloated.

Prevent pants from sticking when sweating.

Wearing pants in summer, when the legs sweat, the pants will stick to the legs, increasing the friction between the skin of the legs and the pants, which brings great inconvenience to the action. If you wear a pair of smooth ultra-thin stockings under your pants, the situation will be very different (stockings should be breathable). At this time, regardless of whether the legs are sweaty or not, the pants and leg skin will not stick together, and any movements will not be affected.

You should wear stockings when working in an air-conditioned room for a long time.

In summer, people often wear very few clothes. If they work in an air-conditioned room for a long time, they will feel a little cold. After a long time, it is easy to get arthritis, rheumatism and other diseases. Wearing a pair of stockings on the legs can reduce the occurrence of the above phenomenon.
