Socks (below the knee), stockings (and thighs), pantyhose (and waist)
If the wearer only suffers from varicose veins below the knee, he can wear medium varicose socks; If the wearer has symptoms above the knee, he needs to wear long or pantyhose varicose socks.

When buying pantyhose, choose the number according to the height and weight of the wearer.
