BIOFLECT® Compression Arm Sleeves Wrap with Far Infrared Therapy and Micro-Massage Knit - for Support and Comfort - Lipedema, Lymphedema, Inflammation - Black S/M

Love these Bioflect boleros for my Lipoedema and Lymphoedema. The material is different to the last one I ordered 2 years ago and has a nicer feel to it.

These work well from the compression standpoint. I would say the product is durable and high quality. I personally cannot stand the “waffle” texture of this fabric. I thought it would be smoother like spandex, but it left itchy dents all over my arms. Had to return.

A friend of mine handed down all of her compression garments after her plastic surgery, knowing I would be undergoing some of the same procedures. Initially, I was skeptical about trying them on since she is a smaller size than me (S/M), while I usually wear a large or extra-large. However, after growing tired of wrapping my arms in bandages with Velcro, I was determined to give the garment a try. Let me tell you—it was a total game changer. The amount of compression it provided, along with how it perfectly compressed even the incisions in my armpit, was invaluable. At first, I wasn't sure if I was wearing it correctly. There was a lot of trial and error; I think the first time I wore it, I had it inside out, with the smooth part on the inside and the side with the raised bumps on the outside. During those crucial weeks 2-4 post-arm lift/brachioplasty, this was very helpful because there was no tugging to get into the sleeves—it slid right into place. The downside of having the smooth side against my skin was that I struggled to move freely in any long-sleeved clothing. Imagine the bumpy side clinging to soft fabrics. This was only temporary because eventually, I got brave enough to wear it with the bumpy side against my skin. Now, depending on how swollen I am, I decide which side will go against my skin. This just goes to show how versatile this garment can be. One thing I will also mention is that if it feels uncomfortable on your shoulders, you probably have it upside down. It took me a while to learn how to wear it correctly since there are no tags on it. I quickly had to do a deep search to find out who made this wonderful garment because, unfortunately, my friend couldn't remember where she got it from. One day, in my Amazon suggestions, I saw compression sleeves from Bioflect. Immediately, due to the scaly-looking pattern, I knew this was it. I purchased it in black so I could have a backup while one was being washed. If you've had brachioplasty, get this!!

Good compression. Saved me money from going for the Marena. However it does have a pattern it’s not a smooth pattern. I interchange it with my old smooth sleeves with less compression

So I have smaller arms so I got a s/m but they are 3 inches away from where my wrist meets hand so I don’t know if the size has to do with arm length or not
