About 60% of expectant mothers will have swollen feet especially when they are about to have a baby. Especially in the days after 40 weeks of pregnancy, your regular socks and shoes may be difficult to wear. This condition can result in moms-to-be not having proper socks to keep themselves warm, which can cause a lot of inconvenience during the fall or winter months. More often than not, it is the shoes that are the problem. Because of foot edema, it is difficult for mothers-to-be to wear their usual athletic shoes. Not having the right shoes makes it less convenient for moms-to-be to do the right amount of exercise, but these exercises are necessary and they help moms-to-be stay in good physical and mental shape.
Hospital socks can be a great help in such times. Because hospital socks are very loose and have a very good elasticity. High-quality hospital socks can be more than 8 inches wide at the maximum, and the ankle part is much more elastic than normal socks. Such a sock construction is compatible with any ankle and calf with edema, and they can perfectly replace the warmth of everyday socks.
Of course, high-quality hospital socks can do much more than that. On the bottom of these hospital socks there is a non-slip rubber with excellent anti-slip properties. High-quality hospital socks are very stable, with the anti-slip rubber at the bottom of the socks arranged at a 45-degree angle, they have a good positive anti-slip ability while also preventing side slippage. The bottom of these socks are thicker than normal socks, so even if you walk on the floor wearing them, the anti-slip rubber on the bottom of these socks will not cause any irritation through the bottom of your feet, and in general, you will hardly feel the presence of these anti-slip materials except for the stable grip.
For moms-to-be, staying comfortable is of utmost importance. High quality hospital socks must be made of cotton, not polyester. These thick cotton hospital socks are usually knitted with long-staple cotton and they are very soft, even softer than regular socks. They are thick, but not particularly thick, and are warm enough not to sweat. The reason they are more comfortable than polyester socks is not just because they are softer, but the cotton socks are so breathable and sweat absorbent that wearing them all day won't make your feet smell.
Hospital socks are definitely great inventions, and the high quality cotton material gives these socks the perfect balance of performance and comfort.
