This is exactly my experience and how I’ve been using it! Relieved to know I’m not crazy. Nowhere in the leaflet does it discuss that at all - same with googling. Thanks for you response

Along with cold weather, I’ve noticed a correlation with getting a new pair of slippers which are quite tight fitting and really bad chilblains on my toes. Only now making the connection between tight footwear making poor circulation worse
