The materials
The yarn quality is our major focus and passion. All materials are carefully selected to provide the best comfort and durability. The knowledge of yarns and their features and advantages is essential to us, when we develop new products.
COTTON
Cotton is a natural fiber that has been spun and woven since prehistoric times - and not without a reason. Cotton is strong, long lasting and thermally conductive. Because of the high content of cotton in our stockings, they feel much softer and more comfortable against the skin than other compression stockings. A great choice for everyday use.
ORGANIC COTTON
Our organic cotton (EcoCotton) is made from natural seeds and is produced with minimal waste of resources, 75% solar energy, 0% water consumption, 0% pesticides and chemicals and 0% CO2 emissions. Just as regular cotton, our organic cotton is strong, long lasting and thermally conductive. The environmental savings per 1 KG EcoCotton produced are:
3485 liters of water
1.62 Co2/kg
6.77 kWh energy
GOTS CERTIFIED COTTON
The newest member of our fiber-family. To carry the GOTS certificate, you most meet some very strict requirements and the product must contain min. 90% cotton. Compression stockings needs a high amount of elastic, meaning GOTS is not an option. Developing our underwear line the GOTS certificate became possible. The result is an ultra soft material, that is both durable and comfortable. Exactly what you need your underwear to be.
BAMBOO
Bamboo is know for its absorbency and amazing softness against the skin. SupCare compression socks with bamboo are no exception. The fibers can contain up to 55% more moisture than e.g. cotton, which makes it better at keeping your feet dry and fresh. Bamboo is a natural material that is historically used only for structural elements, but in recent years a range of technologies have been developed allowing bamboo fibers to be used for textiles.
WOOL
Wool is the most breathable natural material available. Our wool products are soft against the skin and machine washable. The wool helps regulate the body's temperature and keeps your skin warm in the winter and cold in the summer. From nature, the material is antibacterial.
