The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) is responsible for ensuring that therapeutic goods available for supply in Australia are safe and fit for their intended purpose.
TheRY compression products have been properly assessed and are listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). They may be eligible for health rebates with many private insurance health funds, it is best to check with your provider as it may depend on your level of cover.
Products that do not have an ARTG number and have not been assessed by the TGA may not be providing you any compression benefits, and in the worse cases, could be restricting circulation and creating more issues.

Order has arrived quickly and the product looks good. I bought these socks to wear on a plane as I am pregnant. Haven’t tried yet as we are flying next week but they feel comfy and soft
Would probably be very good if I ordered the right size.
Hi Emily - we’d be happy to help you get the right size so you can benefit from these. We’ll reach out to you directly to sort this out. There’s no problem to get you the right size. Thanks
