What the AI looks for in Women's Compression Leg Sleeves
- Sizing
- Measure calf circumference at its widest point and follow the brand chart Compression only works at the intended circumference.
- Graduation
- Pressure should be highest at the ankle and decrease upward Graduated pressure is what aids venous return.
- Coverage
- Sleeves stop at the ankle; choose socks if your feet swell Sleeves can push fluid into an uncompressed foot.

Questions
Sleeves or socks?
Sleeves leave the foot free to use your own socks; socks are better for swelling or long travel.
