| Control Top |

A. - If you are looking for a medium control top you should try Carezza 70 Slip-Up,
Carezza 70 Tripple Effect, or Antistress 70 Slip-Up.
These are sheer and elegant tights with high cut print panties.
If you are looking for a very strong control we would recommend Lift Up 40 or

Graduated Compression
Hosiery |
Q.- Could you explain what characteristics should Support or Graduated Compression
Hosiery have? |
|
| A.- Other than special knitting and special yarns that are used to achieve different degrees of compression on ankle, knee and thigh areas Support Hosiery must have - reinforced heel and toe, CE certification and models must be tested on the Hatra machine. |
| |
|
| Q.- Do I need to wear support tights? |
|
A.- If your legs get swollen or tired by the end of the day, or you have varicose veins or prone to have it, or you have poor blood circulation then you should consider wearing support-graduated compression hosiery. If you have serious medical concerns we recommend
Elly-Antistress Collection.
Models from this line provide maximum support so you'll get best results.
If you are looking for support hosiery for preventative measures then all hosiery with light or medium graduated compression will help Massage, Riposanti and
Salute collections by Franco Bombana and most models from Elly-Carezza has either light or medium compression. Consider wearing graduated compression hosiery during pregnancy (look for maternity styles). |
| |
| |
Q.- I tried to put on my new support tights and they were very tight and seemed to be too small. The size on the box indicates exact size that I usually wear. Is there anything wrong with my tights? |
|
| A.- There is nothing wrong with your tights. Support hosiery are usually more tight than regular ones. If you get the right size they will look a little bit small, this way you can get the support you are looking for. You should widen the toe area, position toe and heel areas properly on your feet and then pull them up so tights snuggle your legs from ankles to thighs without spinnings and folds. If your size falls right in between sizes on the size-chart, we recommend to go with a larger size. |
| |
| |
Q.- I used to wear support tights, and I hated them, they were rough to the touch and very far from fashion and elegance. Is it still true? |
|
A.- Oh, no, those days are gone. Thanks to the advanced technology, now women can wear elegant and very trendy tights and stockings and still get the benefits of the support hosiery. For example look at Jolie70 Stay-up Stockings, they are very fashionable and at the same time have graduated compression feature.
Sophie and Graduated Compression Collections by Elly-Carezza is a combination of elegance and wellbeing. |
| |
| |
Q.- What's the difference between Elly-Carezza collections and Elly-Antistress collections? |
|
| A.- These are two groups of collections made by Elly company. Antistress group of collections target people with medical concerns like varicose veins, feet swelling, or people who are in post surgery rehabilitation and need special support hosiery. Most of these models are sold in pharmacies and special orthopedic stores. Some models in these collections are unisex. On the other hand Carezza group of collections offer you the wide variety of hosiery (classic, everyday, maternity and fashion) including support items. Though these support hosiery don't have such a strong compression as Antistress models, that would be the right compression for most people. Because some women need just light or medium graduated compression not the strong one. Beside its medical benefits Antistress line also offers you some very elegant models. For example Antistress-Fashion collection which guarantees the well being of your legs and enhances the femininity and the elegance. |

Q.- Can you suggest any high Denier tights that look as natural and sheer as possible? |
|
A.- Lots of people are looking for High Denier tights because they are very durable and long lasting but the back side of the high-denier tights is lack of sheerness (the higher the denier, less sheer or even more opaque tights are). We'd like to offer you new
Sophie Collection by Elly-Carezza.
It's unique because of the special highly breathable yarn that has “feather-light effect” and also has graduated compression features that massage the legs and ensure proper blood circulation. Soft to the touch, much silkier and less opaque than regular graduated compression hosiery. These 70 and 140 den tights look like 20-35 Den, great for the summer especially their “keep moisture out” effect. They also come in maternity style. |
