Hosiery – Luxurious Legs

Hosiery is luxury personified for legs. And one of the most famous hosiery manufacturers in Australia is Voodoo.

Voodoo Hosiery is one of Australia’s premium brands for stockings and pantyhose. They have supplied Australian women with hosiery for many years that is both innovative and stylish. Voodoo is renowned countrywide for high quality, great wearability, and sensual style.

Voodoo Hosiery was created for the first time in1972, when the company was launched by Leon Worth. Worth, at the time known as Australia’s “hosiery king”, had been involved in the stockings and pantyhose manufacturing and marketing industry since the 1950s.

Voodoo introduced the comfort brief to their pantyhose range in 1974; this was much more comfortable for women for everyday wear than the traditional stockings and suspenders that women had endured for decades. It also offered a much better line under clothing and suited the shorter styles worn at the time.

The Voodoo brand grew and evolved in the following decades. The first control top pantyhose range was released in 1999, eliminating the requirement to wear separate shape wear and facilitating a slim and smooth silhouette underneath clothing.

Opaque tights came onto the market in 2001 – and this was followed in 2002 by Voodoo’s first fashion colour and patterned range for enhanced personal style.

Voodoo is a pioneer in innovative pantyhose and stockings. Ladder control technology, which was invented and first marketed by Voodoo in 2009, minimised the ever-annoying tendency for sheer stockings to ladder, and allowed women to look polished and classy despite a snag in the pantyhose.

Voodoo Glow was launched in 2010; this was the ultimate in sensual, nude leg wear, which affords a sun kissed, and bare but perfect look.

Another landmark design for Voodoo was the introduction of the Voodoo boot tight in 2011. A sewn in ankle sock for warmth and extra comfort when wearing winter boots was a real innovation. 2011 also welcomed the popular Voodoo Voluptuous – designed to fit and flatter plus-size girls.

Voodoo has something for everyone: sexy stay-ups, sensuous sheers, opulent opaques and simple everyday basics. Pantyhose, fishnets, boot tights, vibrant fashion tights, stay ups, knee hi’s and stockings. Invite some Voodoo into your wardrobe!

Why You Need Flight Socks

Compression stockings, otherwise known as “flight socks”, are specifically designed for long-distance travel, specifically on planes. By gently compressing the leg from the knee down, flight socks have been proven to reduce the risk of conditions such as deep vein thrombosis by up to 90%. 

These socks are also great for reducing the risk of blood clots, and just help to keep your blood flowing in your lower leg while you travel. So, while you may not have ever thought about investing in a pair of flight socks for your next trip, they could very well help you get through your flight safely and comfortably.

While flight socks are most often recommended for people who are at a higher risk of developing conditions such as DVT, anyone who is going to be sitting still for a long period of time (i.e. on a flight or even just driving long distances) should be advised to own and wear a pair. The reason for this is that when you are travelling and sitting still for such a long time, the circulation to your legs is affected. If you’ve ever gotten off a plane and have had your legs feel stiff, now you know why! By wearing flight socks, the circulation is improved by putting positive pressure on the veins.

When wearing your socks, remember to also keep your legs moving, whether it’s through small exercises while sitting down or even getting up during the flight to walk around a bit – this just reduces your risk even more.

There are numerous factors that increase your risk of developing deep vein thrombosis, and therefore also increase the need for you to wear flight socks. If your journey if over four hours long, most doctors will recommend flight socks. Similarly, being over forty years of age, being overweight, being on the contraceptive pill, pregnancy, and a family history are all factors that will increase your risk. However, whether you consider yourself to be at risk or not, DVT can affect anyone, so make sure you stay on the safe side and invest in a pair of flight socks.
