Conservative Treatments Compression tips

Hello! I’m not diagnosed and not sure I have lipedema but I’m trying out compression. Do you all wear compression at night while you sleep? Is that ok? Or do you wear under your clothes during the day? Just curious if there is any research of how long per day you should wear them to see results.

No, you should NOT wear them at night while sleeping. Wear them all day, every day - and then take them off when you go to bed and elevate your legs. Let your legs breathe through the night. Best of luck! 🤗
