Dr Scholl's QTTO Sleeping Socks (寝ながらメディキュット) Review Part 2

I promised to return with the review on the socks.. and here I am! Sorry for the long wait....


This is how one of my calves looks like when wearing the sock



Before I started wearing the socks, I had the vision that wearing these socks will make the fattest part of my calves slimmer. Hence, before I even started wearing them, I measured the fattest part of my calves. After wearing for weeks and even months (although not daily. Some days I was just too tired and dozed off before I even put them on.), I measured the same part of my calves and did not see drastic reduction in the measurement. I am not sure if it is due to human errors or that I did not pay enough attention to the previous measurement, there seems to be around 0.5 cm reduction in the fattest part across my calves.

I was slightly disappointed as I was expecting a drastic reduction in the calves size. At least that was what I thought the sock would have done to my calves. But well, after thinking for some time, it just does not seems to make sense for the calves to reduce a few inches by just wearing the socks for a few months since December 2009. Thus, I decided to do a second test and even took photo of the measurement on my right calf. I shall post a 3rd part of the review if there is any further improvement!!

Putting aside the slimming effects by the socks, I probably should mention some of the benefits the socks brought to my daily life. Everytime my leg was aching and tired after I did my jogging, swimming, shopping or badminton, I will put on the socks and go to sleep (provided I did not dozed off immediately after lying on bed). Each time I put on the socks at night, they give a tight and firm feeling (just like how you feel when you put on your normal tights but it was around 3 times tighter). When I wake up the next morning and took off the socks, the calves seems to have really 'slept' well and is not aching as badly as it was from the previous day's workout. The legs also feel 'lighter' just like what was mentioned in most reviews I read online or even in magazines.

Whether did the socks reduce my calves measurements or not, at least (so far) I am assured that it have prevented my calves measurements from increasing in the past 2 months plus. =)
