I went to order some new Under Armour shirts at the UnderArmour.com website last night, and I found that the $35 black V necked Women's Heatware Compression shirts are currently priced at $25, which is amazing (also can get free shipping).  Just passing it along.  I've yet to find these shirts at a reduced price at any time during that past 18 months that I've been wearing them.  As an fyi, I usually wear a L/XL shirt, but for compression I do best with a Medium.  Men's styles are crew neck, women's are V neck.

    Thanks for the info. I have one UA black long sleeve compression that I use at the gym and I love it. The only time I can bring myself to wear the sleeve out of the house is when I'm driving, which seems to be a huge trigger for me.

    I have sleeves and gloves, but have found the shirts to address the truncal issues well.  I usually do need to wear a glove with the shirt or my hand gets puffy and uncomfortable.  Mostly, I layer it beneath something else, which is not the greatest fashion statement, but it works.  I usually have about 4 at a time that I am cycling in and out. When I go sleeve-only, I have extra swelling along the sides and back, which then turns me into a crabby(er) individual.  So far so good.

    kc- I couldn't find Heatware on their site.  Could it be the HeatGear Compression?  It shows the short sleeved for $24.99 and the sleeveless for $18.99.  Which one do you wear?  I definitely want to order some of these though not sure how small I should go.  My LE PT said I have mild LE in my back.

    Sorry to intrude (not a lympadema sufferer), but Sportchek has a great selection of UnderArmor stuff and you can usually find 25- 40% coupons on line somewhere that you can use in their stores, in Canada anyway. Might be worth your time (and wallet) to check it out.

    Kate - You are right - it's HeatGear, I remembered incorrectly.  I wear long sleeves.  They are wicking, so they aren't hot in the summer, as you may think they would be. I've never tried the sleeveless, and have tried the short sleeve only once, adding it to my Juzo compression sleeve.  I found it simpler to just to long sleeves with Juzo gloves.  I think we often have to experiment a bit to see what works.

    I wished I liked these tops, but they just don't fit my body well. The women's cuts in the axilla - are there just two styles, short and long sleeve? I ended up with a men's small crew in the heat gear, but it's really too loose around my abdomen and the neck isn't great. The youth sizes didn't fit right either - are those unisex? I also don't care for the feel of the fabric much. I think I wanted this to work since everyone seems to like them. I feel like Goldilocks with this garment - nothing is just right!

    Tina- They showed a tank top but not sure about the cut in the axilla.  I'm going to check their return policy just in case.  Have you found any tops that work for you?

    LOL, Kate, not that many! Especially one dedicated to exercise. One I used to wear was discontinued or updated. I am actively pursuing trying on in stores, ordering and then returning, etc. I think I deserve to have a few choices in my wardrobe. I have been doing the same with workout tops and bathing suits. Glad I was forced to take a break from it, as it really irritated my trunk and axillary area. I have a couple of tops waiting for me when I return home. I am willing to be a compression top guinea pig!
