BIOFLECT® Compression Leggings with Far Infrared Therapy and Micro-Massage Knit

I have lipedema, and this is my third try at getting compression leggings -- finally hit the jackpot. My first, Juzo soft, were awful -- got a run in them the first time I put them on, scratchy, and the ankles roll up and leave painful red lines in my skin. My second, Rainbeau Curves, are comfy and cheap, but they don't compress above the calves. These are the sweet spot -- comparatively easy to put on, sturdy, supportive all the way up, but not constricting. I could wish they were less high waisted and came in more colors, but I am relieved to find something that I actually feel more comfortable wearing, not less.

I bought these in black XL... I have Lipedema and bought them to wear under jeans/pants to provide compression during the day. After I started wearing them I learned that this is the brand my Lymphedema clinic recommends most; my therapist correctly identified them by the pattern they left on my legs! Snug and a bit awkward to get on (especially with Lipedema thighs) but they seem durable after all the tugging and have really made an improvement in how achy and uncomfortable my legs feel at the end of the day. They are very opaque and the wavy pattern isn’t very noticeable but if you have large thighs the fabric can become slightly see-through so I have so far chosen not to wear them without something over them. I soak mine in the sink in cold water with detergent and hang them to dry. I plan to buy another pair + the bicycle short length for use under skirts at work.

I have Lipedema and was told to wear compression leggings. These were recommended by a friend. I like them, but there should be a way of counting the calories burned by putting them on and pulling them up after using the bathroom. They do tend to slide a bit after wearing them for a few hours but that's the only thing I can say against them.

My occupational therapist recommended this brand to me. I ordered these leggings as well as the bolero. These have undoubtedly helped a lot with the swelling and pain that I experience with Lipedema, and I have no issue with the tightness- my therapist explained that it is compression after all so they should be tight. However I am pretty short (5'3") with short legs and these bunch up like crazy around my knees creating a bit of a tourniquet effect. I am constantly having to even them out, as with compression it is important that the compression is even across the entire limb.The other thing that affects the comfort is that the waist band (which hits be right below my bust) does not have any silicone trim or anything to keep it in place so it is constantly rolling down. I don't think I would buy another pair of these (unless they came in petite lengths) but I only took off one star because they do help with pain and swelling. My only other complaint is that they got a hole in them pretty quickly after purchase, but that appears to be the only damage they have sustained.As others have mentioned they can be a chore to get on, but from my experience that is the way it is with compression garments- they are meant to be tight and squeeze you- so to me these are pretty standard in that regard.

Best customer service I've experienced since being an amazon customer. Truly great product. I'm seeing results in stamina after wearing only a day or two. Absolutely indispensable garments for me now. I am young and recovering from a horrid inflammatory condition. These garments are helping with pain, aching, and lymphatic drainage. I am increasing water intake to promote the liver and kidneys as more lymph is now circulating. I can feel the action of the garments on my lymph system as I move. I have been inactive, so these garments seem to be helping my body make the most of any movement in terms of lymphatic drainage stimulation. I was not paid for this review and am truly glad to have begun using the biofir products. They are helping my body.

I was diagnosed with a-typical vericose veins and veinous reflux disease about a year ago. It's a slow, painful killer. They said I would probably end life when I was old stuck in a wheel chair, with sores on my legs that wouldn't heal. They said the only treatment was to seal all the major superficial veins in my legs. I turned down the surgery and have been hunting alternative medicine and holistic treatments. I've had success with veinaid supplements, weight loss, antioxidants, daily compression, and raising my feet every night, hot to cold showers, topical cream, and it all helped. But. No one thing did as much as these leggings. You can FEEL the tingle from the IR weave in them working. They leave faint impressions in your skin, but they don't leave your limbs itching as they 'squeeze' out the excess lymph. Instead, the grooves direct lymph to flow naturally, and there's success without discomfort or itching. Today, at the end of the day, after being on my feet for hours, my legs look... just like they used to. These leggings can't cure veinous reflux, but they are a powerful tool in getting ahead of it as you fight back. Worth. Every. Penny.
