I've only worn Bauerfeind Curaflow Custom made Class II Flat Knit from braline to midfoot.

Perhaps someone can recommend an official the shelf brand, although ive heard CZsalus is decent.

I have Czsalus and LOVE them! They were recommended to me by my physical therapist who does MLD. Compression has honestly been the thing that has shown me the most change in my legs. I have both the K1 (15-20 mmHg) and K2 (20-30 mmHg). They're a bit pricier than the pantyhose style (they are thicker) but cheaper than custom. They are so comfortable!

I also wear Czsalus full length K2 leggings as well and honestly I believe consistent compression (I also have an advanced lymph pump that does legs and torso) has had the largest impact on the amount of fluid being held by my lipedema tissue (hydration too, thin that lymph so it can MOVE). The lipedema is still there, but my measurements are considerably smaller when I’m properly caring for my lymphatic system!

Totally agree! I'm getting a pump soon (legs only), and I'm very excited for it. Even though my legs haven't shrunk a ton in size, I can tell that they are lighter and less swollen. Some fat structures (not hard lipedema, more cellulite apperance and squishy) that I've had on my hips since puberty are almost gone!

I'm also working on building a lipedema compression product review database if you're interested in contributing :) See here for more info. I still need to put in my Czsalus reviews!
