Tommy Copper clothing

I have had restless legs my whole life although I didn't know there was a name for it until this year (and I'm 63 years old!) Someone mentioned "Tommy copper" compression pants that helped with RLS. Has anyone heard of this or tried it?

Never heard of Tommy Copper pants. However, a number of people report success with compression tights and socks ( the type you buy from chemists for air flights).

Never heard of them but I take it you would wear them 'not like that like this!' :)

As Joolsg says compression tights are meant to work for some so tight trousers might as well.

I tried another US brand of copper compression "socks" ankle to below knee. They may be good for long trips, but did nothing for RLS.

Can't wear tight trousers as they bring on my RLS quite dramatically.

Not what you're looking for?
