Admittedly, some thigh high socks are "firm" and they rely on very tight top bands to achieve this, which can quickly create thigh muffins and even cut into the thighs, blocking blood circulation. They are not comfortable, not at all! The firmness of these socks loses the meaning of existence.
There are also thigh-high socks that are comfortable, they put only light pressure on the thighs, and if you just keep sitting or lying down reading a book or watching TV, these socks are perfect. The bands at the top of these socks don't cut the loop, but they don't hold up either. If you stand up and walk, they slide down very quickly and you have to adjust their height from time to time. When these socks are washed, they can slip on your knees even before you step out of the room. (Not an exaggeration)
It's very difficult to juggle "firmness and comfort". Kayhoma made a lot of attempts, and finally improved from three directions to achieve thigh high socks that are both firm and comfortable. First, the designers replaced the latex elastic thread used in the old version with a super elastic thread with a spandex surface. The pressure release of these super elastic threads is very uniform, and their elastic recovery under almost any tension is linear and controllable, with no sudden tightening. What's more, their surfaces are all wrapped in spandex fibers, which are virtually immune to detergents, they age slowly, and their elasticity returns like new even after multiple washes.
Kayhoma increased the band at the top of all thigh high socks from 2 inches to 3 inches. All of Kayhoma's thigh high socks have more than 3 inches of band, because the wider band relieves the pressure on the thighs so that the thigh high socks don't create muffin thighs or cut off blood circulation.
Kayhoma also adjusted the gap of the super elastic threads for these bands, increasing the number of elastic threads distributed, making the elastic release of these bands more uniform and comfortable.
With the three adjustments above, the band at the top of these thigh-high socks is soft and comfortable, while being elastic and shrinking linearly. They neither slide down nor make thigh muffins or cut off circulation, they just stay on the thighs in a very comfortable way.
