A day in my support pantyhose

Went to the Singapore Garden Fest at Suntec Convention Hall today. Spent the entire afternoon walking around the exhibition halls . Luckily I was well prepared, or else my legs would be aching while I typed this post.

I was in jeans and polo t-shirt, but I had my support pantyhose on my legs. This support pantyhose has good firm compression and are very smooth, so they glide over the jeans easily. My legs never felt more energetic in the support pantyhose.

The floral exhibits were very well done. There was one by the Singapore Floral Association, I think. It was a very innovative display. It depicted an underwater world with careful use of bubbles and the ceiling of flowing water. Very nice. By simply looking at that display, one could feel that you are actually under water looking at the underwater city.

Leg Health and Pantyhose

All of us probably know that long hours of standing or sitting can result in leg fatigue, leg aches and in the long term will lead to having vericose veins and other leg/vein related problems.

It is also said that support pantyhose can assist in blood circulation in legs and helps to relieve leg fatigue due to better blood circulation.

My job is desk bound and that means long hours of sitting at the desk ... and I tell you .. my legs do ache at the end of the day sometimes. Did not know what to do about it until doctor advise me to wear support pantyhose/socks.

At first, i thought ... men in pantyhose??? But thought I gave it a try ... Initially, it does feel uncomfortable, but after a few days ... it does feel quite comfortable, if the size is right. My legs do feel less tired and less aching with the support pantyhose.

Since then, I have been wearing pantyhose under my work pants. Been 2 years already. Will keep wearing them.
