Im 5 months pregnant and suffering badly with vulva varicose veins, they are so painful. I've been told that compression tights would help. Could anyone recommend where I could purchase them please.
TIA

I suffered terribly from vulval varicose veins in my 4th, 5th and 6th pregnancies. I didn't try tights, but soaking a sanitary towel in witch hazel (kept in the fridge), then placing it against the veins helped a lot. Make sure you rest enough.

I had them in pregnancy too, and yes, compression tights did help them. Mine didn’t cause me much pain though- I was just worried they’d be there for life! Thankfully they vanished as quickly as they’d appeared!

I was blighted with this when I was pregnant, but mine went away after the birth, too. They drove me mad at times and were sometimes painful, so I got a good pair of compressing tights from pebble uk. Surprisingly, they gave me great relief, they were a bit pricey, but worth every penny for me. My puffy ankles disappeared as well :-D The charms of being pregnant.

I had this too. Bought compression tights from Pebble UK, but only wore them a couple of times as the weather was too warm. They did work well when I did wear them

Thanks for the info. I contacted Pebble UK and they were so helpful. Placed an order with them ...they have already been dispatched cant wait to receive them.
