Basic knowledge of sock selection

As a beautiful scenery in summer, socks, especially stockings, give women a seemingly translucent elegance and sexiness. They not only beautify the leg lines, but also better protect women's legs. So, how to choose a pair of thoughtful stockings?

Smell it. First, smell for any pungent odor. Some low-quality stockings may have excessive formaldehyde levels, which can easily cause symptoms such as skin allergies and eczema. So, it's best to rinse stockings with clean water first after buying them home.

Take a second look. Qu Jing, Deputy Secretary General of the China Knitting Industry Association, reminds consumers to pay attention to the following points: looking at brands. The quality of stockings produced by large manufacturers is more guaranteed. Look at the ingredients. High gloss material stockings have poor breathability, which can affect sweat evaporation and lead to skin inflammation; Polyester material has poor sweat absorption performance and can easily cause foot odor when worn for a long time; Relatively speaking, stockings made of nylon and spandex are the most comfortable to wear. Look at the workmanship. High quality stockings have a smooth surface with no exposed silk heads, and the top, heel, and upper cuffs are flat. Otherwise, the stockings are prone to tearing due to uneven force when worn.

Three pull. When purchasing, you can stretch the socks vertically to feel their elasticity. Director Wang Zhi of the Expert Committee of the China Knitting Association reminds people not to choose stockings with tight cuffs to prevent additional pressure on the ankles, legs, and even the heart. Generally speaking, a good pair of stockings has a higher tightness at a distance from the heart, and a lower tightness at a distance from the heart. The recently popular "sequential stress relief stockings" in the market are based on this principle.

How to make stockings more durable? Experts suggest that stockings should be washed separately to avoid tangling or deformation caused by entanglement with other clothing. When washing, soak in cold water with detergent for about 30 minutes and gently rub with your hands. Finally, placing it flat in a well ventilated area to dry, hanging it to dry, or directly exposing it to sunlight will affect its elasticity.
