What are "support tights"?

Support tights, also known as support hoses or compression stockings, are a type of hosiery designed to provide graduated compression to the legs. They are typically made of stretchy and breathable materials that offer varying degrees of pressure to help improve circulation, reduce swelling, and prevent varicose veins. Support tights can also provide relief for people who spend a lot of time standing or sitting, as they help to stimulate blood flow and prevent blood from pooling in the legs. They are available in a range of styles, colors, and compression levels, from light compression for everyday wear to stronger compression for medical conditions.
