I have a Vulva verrucas vein but also have some on my legs so I need a strong good quality compression tights or leggings but ideal would be if I could find a gym compression legging but the only good quality I can find cost £110 and I’m slightly sceptical about the cheap ones on line!
I bought a pair of compression shorts from pebble but realised they need to be longer and slightly more tight.
Any recommendation please

Good morning! I just got my compression tights this week, so I thought I'd try to help. My mum suffered terrible varicose veins from her pregnancies so she strongly advised I tried to prevent the same. I was told by my doctor that for them to do their job properly you need the compression tights that are the correct size, so I actually had to go and have my legs measured in three different places to make sure I had the right ones. I'm in Belgium and they cost 96 euro!! Shock

I also thought about getting them online, but I figured that I'd rather know they were really doing what they're supposed to do. They're not the comfiest things, but at least I know they're for a purpose! The ones I tried from high street shops are nothing in comparison.

If you're in the UK, might it be something the NHS can help you with if you've already got the varicose veins?

Here I had to go to a "bandagiste", but maybe the pharmacy would be able to help you? But my doctor said make sure they measure you for the proper ones!
