Hints and Tips

Wear disposable gloves

If you have access to disposable gloves, wear those over your compression glove while out of the house to prevent your compression garment from becoming contaminated. Carefully remove and dispose of the gloves once you’re at your destination. Source Lymphie Life.com

Wash exposed garments daily

It’ s best to check your garment’s w ashing instructions, although most can be machine-washed and dr ied on the gentle cycle, or air-dried.

Moisturize

Frequent handwashing can lead to dry skin. Continue to moisturize with a PH Balanced lotion to avoid dry, cracked skin and minimize the risk of cellulitis.

Beat the heat

Walking in the morning or evening to avoid the highest temperatures of the day means you will reduce uncomfortable sweating while wearing your garment and may reduce the amount that you need to wash it.
