Why This Exists
If you have POTS, you already know: compression socks aren't optional — they're a lifeline. They help manage blood pooling, reduce heart rate spikes, and make standing bearable. But finding the right pair? That's a different struggle entirely.
Most compression socks on the market are built for athletes, nurses, or air travelers. They're not designed around the specific needs of someone with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. The compression levels are often wrong, the fit doesn't account for all-day wear, and the options are limited and clinical-looking.
PotsSocks was started to fix that. We're building compression wear from scratch, with input from POTS patients, caregivers, and clinicians, so you get the right compression in something you actually want to wear.
The POTS Problem
POTS affects an estimated 1 to 3 million Americans, the majority of whom are women between 15 and 50. Despite its prevalence, it takes an average of over six years to get diagnosed, and even after diagnosis the available products rarely cater to this community.
Compression garments are one of the most widely recommended non-pharmacological treatments for POTS. Yet patients are left to sift through generic brands, guess at compression levels, and settle for products that weren't made with them in mind.

Our Mission
We're here to build the compression brand that the POTS community deserves — one that puts patients first, offers the right clinical-grade compression levels, and creates products people feel good wearing every day.
We're not just making socks. We're building a resource hub, a community, and eventually a full line of compression wear designed around the realities of living with dysautonomia.
