Liner stockings can help reduce friction against the skin and protect it, helping reduce frictional heat that leads to blisters.
Bridgedale Everyday Merino Endurance Liner Socks can be worn as either a layer under other Bridgedale socks or alone to provide light compression and help soothe tired, achy legs.
Comfort
Liners worn underneath compression stockings or socks provide medical-grade stockings with added comfort on your legs. Made of breathable and moisture-wicking materials, these lightweight liners provide 10mmHg compression to promote better circulation in your feet and reduce fatigue and swelling. They can even be combined with open- or closed-toe styles of compression hosiery for use.
Essential to keep in mind is that these stockings should only be worn with medical-grade compression stockings, not over-the-counter varieties. Your doctor will prescribe medical-grade compression stockings according to the severity of your condition; make sure they fit appropriately sized since incorrect-sized ones won’t provide therapeutic benefits and may become uncomfortable and even painful over time.
These stockings should fit snugly around the foot and ankle before gradually loosening as you progress up the leg. Compression forces stretched vein walls together, helping close valves and enhancing blood flow up your leg. This reduces venous reflux while improving overall flow to your heart more easily.
Medical-grade compression stockings can be found in specialty hosiery retailers and many drugstores, with health insurance often covering them as well. You can select your ideal size and strength from an assortment of sizes and strengths depending on your unique needs; some stockings feature calf bands to help them stay up and prevent rolling down; these garments may be helpful to people suffering from venous disease, varicose veins or chronic venous insufficiency.
Liner stockings are typically crafted from cotton, making them soft against your legs while being machine-washable and convenient to wear. As with anything you wear daily, washing these liners regularly can ensure they look their best and maintain freshness. Using lotion on your legs before donning the stockings is recommended; you could try using something called a stocking donner to help smooth them on more quickly. Also, remember to bring them gently out after each wear, as this will prevent wrinkles and prolong their lifespan.
Fit
A liner stocking is designed to fit inside compression garments such as leg ulcer care compression hosiery. It helps keep wound dressings in place and makes the hose easier to slip on; additionally, it protects it from dirt, oils, and bodily fluids that could shorten its lifespan and shorten its lifespan over time. British Standard’s Activa Stocking Liners 3 Pack 10mmHg comes in three different sizes to meet patients with varying lengths of leg and compression needs.
These lightweight liners feature gentle gradient compression that begins at the ankle and gradually decreases up the leg for improved circulation, reduced fatigue, and the prevention of varicose and spider vein recurrence. Perfect for day or night wear on most skin types.
Layering compression stockings to achieve higher levels of compression (e.g., two liners providing 20 mmHg) or wearing over firmer compression stockings when gradient compression (e.g., 20-30 mmHg) cannot be worn can provide additional levels of support. For optimal results, please consult with a nurse or doctor prior to purchasing compression stockings and socks to ensure they fit well and can provide gradient pressure as required by their condition. You should also be advised on which pressure grade would best meet your comfort needs since choosing something too stiff could lead to pain or discomfort from wearable compression garments – should we have any questions, we will be more than happy to assist.
Durability
Liner stockings protect from dirt, oils, and bodily fluids that could otherwise cause the outer sock to tear or rip over time. They’re usually made of soft cotton material for maximum comfort.
They’re intended to be worn beneath ulcer care compression stockings or wraps to help the garment stay on, hold wound dressings in place, and provide light compression. Available as a pack of three, they can even be layered up for increased levels of compression.
Liner stockings can be quickly and easily made from cotton quilter fabric or lining material. Trace the stocking shape onto the fabric, adding 1/4” around its trace mark, cut, and sew. Alternatively, for a reasonable option, use Hem Tape between both pieces of fabric, then iron. While this method won’t create strong seams, it may be suitable for those suffering from severe edema who want to avoid needles and sewn seams; it is, however, not advised for those diagnosed with DVT/VTE as these seams won’t create strong enough bonds.

To create your liner stocking, take a piece of 100% cotton quilter’s fabric, lay it mirror image onto another piece with liner side down, trace, cut, and sew, or use hem tape instead (woven fabrics tend to shred when sewn) around all four edges, fold top edge down 1/2” pin in place then sew or iron along all edges (if using hem tape iron first! ).
