Your favorite lymphedema garments

Wised

Hi I was diagnosed with lymphedema this morning although I have been suspecting that I have it for at least a couple of weeks. I had a really huge hematoma in my breast after surgery and I think that is what caused it. It's mostly in my breast and trunk area wrapping around to my back. However when the specialist measured my arm this morning it was a whole centimeter larger than my right arm. And my right arm should be bigger because it's my dominant arm. Anyway she is going to have me fitted for different lymphedema sleeves gauntlets and maybe a camisole or bra. Can you guys tell me what are your favorite garments, and why are they your favorite? Thank you

Hi,

I have a compression camisole top that is scoop neck, sleeveless, and fairly long. I've got one in pink and one in white. The pink one just looks like a regular compression tank top that people wear around these days so sometimes I just wear it as my shirt. It's made by Wear Ease brand. It was very expensive but my insurance paid 100% of it.

For my arm: I love my custom Elvarex gloves. I'm meh about my sleeves (I think I might need custom ones bc they are all too lose around my wrist), I really dislike my night time garment (Juxtafit). For me it's been trial and error and still working on getting the right compression. For my trunk:I've tried a bunch of compression tops and none compress enough so working on that too. Amazon has a great selection of compression tops, I think if you're an M or bigger you should be able to find something that works (I'm an S on top which sucks for off-the-rack trunk compression)
