"Recently diagnosed with Lipedema, (a genetic disorder that causes all-over lymphedema-type water retention) I went in search of compression garments as prescribed by my physician. Since I am required to wear compression for arms, legs, and trunk year-round, I needed something functional, versatile, and affordable. My first experience was with custom-made garments that looked atrocious and were so painful to wear. When I found this product, I LOVED IT!!! Because they are so understated, they do not draw undue attention and are easy to incorporate with most outfits--casual to professional. I wear the capri pants for leggings under dresses and with jean pants and capris. The stretch and breath-ability of the materials create comfortable compression support without causing pain or overheating like Lymphedema products can. After a few months of wearing these, I have been able to see a decrease in the measured circumference of my thighs, knees, and buttocks, as well as a marked difference in the firmness of my skin and a lessening of stored lymphatic fluids, resulting in a drastic decrease in pain. I have tried others on the market and these are as high of quality, but better priced and non see-through. The only drawbacks of these compared to the other brand I tried is that 1.)these are not currently covered by insurance for therapeutic compression, and, 2.)you better get your size right because there are no returns. Being compression garments, they are great for workouts and provide a cooling effect on hot days when misted with water. I highly recommend these capris for any type of Lipedema or Lymphedema compression garment needs. Sizing was spot on".
