How to do it
- Wear the garment your doctor or therapist fitted for you.
- Check for folds or rolling at the knee and ankle.
- Note any pinching or marks at the end of the day.
- Wash and dry it as the label says.
A morning routine
- Keep your garments and any donning gloves by the bed.
- Sit down and turn the garment inside out to the heel.
- Slide your foot in, then ease the fabric up in small sections.
- Smooth out any wrinkles.
Easier version
Use a donning aid or rubber gloves and pause halfway. On difficult days, ask your therapist whether a lighter or shorter garment is an option.
Safety note
Ask your doctor or lymph therapist which compression class and technique suit you.
Why women include it
Many women with lipedema wear compression during the day, often as advised by their care team. Some say it helps their legs feel more supported. Notice how your day goes with and without it, and log it.
