I've been absent for a couple years, mostly stable with LE. I'm now returning to get an update as to our options for compression for the complicated combo of truncal/armpit/arm LE. I've worn Underarmour compression shirts, which are not made anymore. I've trialed the mens' small sized compression shirts, but it's got too much room in the biceps and armpits. I recently saw some super smooth bras at Kohls which I need to go try on, as there are no binding spots. What else have you found helpful for daytime compression? I cannot wear any item which has a binding spot, as it will be too painful within an hour.

    I think some gals have had good results with the WearEase product line. They have sale prices on occasion.

    I Love WearEase and they are great to talk to in person. I wear the SYdney Bra 24/7.

    Here's a copy from an old thread about a shirt that was originally developed for BCO ladies.

    RE: Go Shirt - another old 2015 reference - Ask for Margaret and tell her the BCO shirt if you can't find it. Some of us have tried a new shirt that you can find here: http://www.gotravelwear.com/shop (look at bottom right of the page; this product is new, and they don't have a photo of it on a model yet). Six or seven women in this forum tested the shirt for design, size, and compression fit vis-a-vis LE needs. I know that one person was not happy with the fabric and hopes for a deeper neckline and shorter sleeves, to better hide under other wardrobe items. But most liked the shirt and its fit.
