Thank you for this video . Very well explained
Two things:
First, compression garments should fit snug (but not tight). That means no loose fabric. Typically you purchase a size up. Although manufacturers differ greatly.
The tops or pants may look like they were made to fit a kid, but compression wear has a great deal of stretch in them
Second, make sure you reserve the time to put it on, and more important, take it out. Bunch the fabric, then wiggle it on/off slowly an inch at a time. In fact, some tops may require an assistant to help remove it without damaging it.
You also need to make sure your skin is cool and dry. If its even the least bit moist, forget about removing garment until your skin is completely dry. Otherwise, you risk breaking the treads, and lowering compression function, and shortening the life of the garment.
They actually look good on men I have no shame saying that in the comments 🌝☺️.
Never mind I’m going for a snack
