WHAT ARE COMPRESSION GARMENTS?

Compression garments are post-op, therapeutic aids designed to help you recover with comfort, speed and confidence. No matter your body type, gender or surgical procedure, compression garments can benefit you! When it comes to choosing the right garment, it depends on what you want to accomplish. Do you want to just smooth out lumps and appear thinner? Or, are you recovering from a surgical procedure or recently had a pregnancy?

Choosing the right garment is important.  You should feel comfortable and be able to move freely. You never want to hurt yourself by constricting your nerves or organs.

There are 3 levels of compression. Level 1 is intended to flatten hips or stomach. If you want to highlight curves, a Level 2 is recommended. This garment moves with your body while adding contours to your silhouette. The highest compression is level 3 and should be reserved for special ocasions where looking your absolute best is the priority.

If you just underwent surgery, the level of compression depends on the type of surgery and will vary based on your stage of the healing process. Your doctor will most likely advise a type for you and how often you need to wear them. If you need to wear them all the time, it’s a good idea to buy 2.

Garments come in various lengths and styles and with different closures, some with zippers, some with closed crotch, and others with slit crotch.   No matter what your requirements are, we’ll help you choose  the right garment to meet your needs and compliment your shape.
