How does the V2 Supporter work? The V2 Supporter provides compression to the vaginal area. To increase compression, move the tabs in the back down for more support. For less compression, move the tabs in the back up for less support. By increasing and decreasing compression you are applying pressure to the varicose veins thus relieving the aching and throbbing in the vagina. The V2 Supporter provides compression therapy for women who have swelling from varicose veins in the vaginal area. During pregnancy, vulvar varicosities can occur for many reasons. Increased weight of the enlarged uterus sometimes creates pressure on veins in the pelvic area and interferes with the flow of blood returning from the legs. At the same time, naturally higher levels of estrogen promote growth, while increased progesterone tends to relax the smooth muscles of the vein walls. Coupled with greater blood volume, the "relaxed" veins can become distended and "pop out" as vulvar varicosities. Standing for long periods of time can worsen this condition. How to wear the V2 Supporter: The V2 Supporter should be worn over cotton underwear or bike shorts. Put the V2 Supporter when rising, before beginning the day's activities. This is when the veins are their smallest and will help prevent excessive swelling. How to care for your V2 Supporter: Make sure Velcro tabs are secure before washing. You may choose to use a garment bag so Velcro does not attach to other clothing. Machine wash with like colors and line dry.
