Is anyone currently using a cross-body strap on your LE sleeve? My LE therapist wants to extend my coverage up over my shoulder, which would mean I'd need a cross-body strap to keep it up. Is it comfortable for you? I'm wondering how it would go from my LE shoulder over my chest. Thank you.

    One of the images on this page shows a cross-body sleeve.

    I've been wearing one for about a year and a half now. I'm a uni so the strap is usually (barely -ha!) held in place by my remaining A cup side. When I wear a compression bra for the gym I pin the strap to the center zipper to keep it from riding up into my armpit. I think it's pretty comfortable, as sleeves go. I tried regular sleeves for a while but I back up in my arm with any elastic to hold a non-strapped sleeve up. Let me know if you have any other questions about it :).
