Over the past few months, many people have written asking for advice about lipedema compression garments for hot weather. The standard K2 CzSalus compression leggings have been my go-to for years, but when I planned a vacation to Florida I decided to try the CzSalus summertime compression. After wearing several pairs for over two months, I review them in this video. One of the biggest benefits is that the summertime version is ankle-length so it doesn't cover your feet. This makes it possible to wear them discretely with sandals and get a nice breeze on your feet. They are also about half as thick as the standard leggings. Things to keep in mind however, are that the compression leggings are more delicate so might not last as long and you may experience more swelling in your feet and ankles. All in all, though, I will buy more pairs and I do recommend them.

After 40+ years of telling my doctors my body/legs are not normal for what and how I eat i got the diagnosis of lipedema today. I'm relieved and devastated all at the same time. I will be binge watching your videos. Any links of how to get involved and bring more education to doctors would be helpful. Thank you for all you do. ❤

Thank you for this. I considered the summer weight but will stay with the regular. I run a farm and am really tough on my clothing. I wear an outer layer of really tough leggings I was tickled to find and have stocked up on them. My 1st CzSalus leggings are +60 days old worn every day. I got a hole at the leg and crotch seam where they V together. I put a paper towel between my leg and the legging where the hole was and applied some 1 second nail glue, waited a moment then added another piece of paper towel on the outside so the glue wouldn't stick to me or the other pant leg. Peeled off the excess paper towel at the end of the day and that left smoother edges than just the glue. Worked great. 😉❤

@milkmaid4077 I'm glad it was helpful! There is definitely something about that place on the upper thigh that seems to put stress on the seams. The few times I've had problems it is always there! I rotate through 2-3 pairs at a time and usually get six months of good wear out of them. I think the summertime compression could work if you wore it under something. You'd only need to be careful when putting it on. Super clever way to do a patch job!

Hi! Do they not have ANY styles with the feet in them? I cannot do those toeless ones...I have too much swelling in my feet. I just checked Amazon for CzSalus merchandise and didn't see anything but the toeless ones.

I have an idea as you said the summer leggings are see through.....a fashion I like thats popular for a few years now is a short dress/long blouse that is worn over leggings.. I wear quite a long top down to my knees..I have not yet worked out i I have lipedema and I am TRAUMATIZED.. Literally your channel is keeping me sane and hanging on to hope that I can cope if I have it...I defo had lymphedema and cured it after 5 years of a health routine overhauling my life, diet and exercise.

Please share how you cured it. I thankfully only have it in one leg, however its in my foot. Summertime is hard because I want to wear sandals and I have to wear the open toe. It's tight on my foot and causes pain. I'm not overweight so its not due to my weight. What did you do???

This is all new to me, undiagnosed but obviously have had Lipedema for over 20 years. I am overwhelmed (and mostly in denial for the last year) and I don't know where to start but surgery is not an option and I appreciate your approach. I'm rambling. Thank you for these videos.

I love the summertime czsalus leggings. I wear the med with 25mg compression. The dig into skin as well but I really like the tight feeling and wear them out with long t shirts or sun dress. I just find I can't wear for longer than 4 hrs. When I get home and back in ac, I typically switch to the regular czalus pairs.

@CuteAnne100 that sounds like the same experience I had! The higher compression ones gradually got painful as the day went on. After maybe 10-12 wears they are loose enough that I can make it through the day, but the first day was rough. I was traveling and couldn't easily change. I have worn CzSalus for years so I didn't expect that at all! Your solution sounds like a happy medium or at least a way to stretch them gradually

Thank you. I was just diagnosed with lipedema , but I also have multiple sclerosis and have intense heat sensitivity and live in the south. Heat will actually power down my brain. I'll try these but I also struggle with spacicity, especially with my hip flexor, so I'm not sure compression is going to be for me. Gonna try tho!

I haven't tried compression yet because lupus makes you very heat sensitive and I have that. I am learning so much from this channel. I thought everyone had painful legs and that it hurt when everyone got a blood pressure reading. When she had a video about TSA stopping you each time and checking your legs a lightbulb went off for me.

@charlestonscnative9083 lupus and ms have much in common, and none of it is fun. ❤️ I was surprised too to learn that everyone didn't experience excruciating pain when their cat walked across them. I only received my ms diagnoses last year. I think because I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and endometriosis in my early 20s, so I was not alarmed by my fatigue and general feeling of being unwell because of course. I thought I was clumsy and just had ADHD to explain away my bruises, scrapes, and scattered brain. I was depressed because of my health and crappy childhood. I was chunky and lumpy because I worked a desk job, and taking care of a family left me too tired to work out. Truth is, I forgot about myself. I stopped checking on my own health and well-being for DECADES. Women, we got to do better for ourselves. Self recognition and self advocate!❤️

What to do if you're shorter than you, and the small will probably be too tight? How can I wear them even higher than my ribs, lol, or if I get small, they may be to small and/or too short? Is it ok if compressions don't cover your ankle completely? The Bioflect ones I have now leave a couple inch gap between the bottom and my ankle bone, but I can't deal with the over the foot ones in summer.

I have a question about the venous insufficiency u mention. Is this the same as lipidema or is it a separate thing. 5 years ago I was healthy and suffered a sudden double occlusion in my left eye blinding me in it overnite. they never got to the bottom of it but assumed it was vasculitis secondary to undifferentiated connective tissue disease, inflammatory autoimmune they guessed. I HAD NO SWELLING AT ALL IN MY BODY THEN APART FROM DURING ALLERGIES FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER I ATE ALLERGENS. they shoved me on buckets of steroids for years all thru Covid. now I am menopausal and think I have lipidema, which I know sounds funny but I got it after 1 pill as an allergic reaction to a calcium channel blocker for neck nerve pain from an impinged disc. The lymphoedema was also set off from again 1 pill called Adalat (a calcium channel antagonist) here in Ireland for severe life altering Raynauds 15 years ago... 1 pill .. both times....and the swelling never ended for 5 years after the Adalat. I tried UNSUCCESSFULLY to sue the doctor that gave me the same pill again that now over 2 years later my thighs are still swollen after that 1 pill did as I guessed it would do. I was petrified the 2 pills sounded similar and I was in agony with many allergies I chanced the calcium channel blocker as I was reassured that this calcium channel blocker was a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PILL....i see a vascular specialist ever since my eye....could my leg swelling (my upper arms are quite bad swelled hanging skin with little stones very painful) be connected to my eye.....I have possible vasculitis.. whats vascular insufficiency in the legs? I've only public healthcare here in Ireland.. my treatment is delayed.. I cannot get appointments for years.. I CANNOT even get diagnosed... I am TERRIFIED I will be so bad with swelling by the time I am diagnosed it will be too late to control it. I am not even using compression. I need a diagnosis and advice. THE DOCTOR IS WRONGLY DIAGNOSING ME WITH UNDISTRIBUTED WEIGHT GAIN FROM THEIR OVER-PRESCRIBING OF STEROIDS TO ME FOR YEARS.. i threw most in the bin and stopped using them a year or more before they took me off them officially.

Thanks so much... thinking about ordering compression garments... My active wear with compression is some of my most comfortable clothing and does help with pain. Question about the czsalus short vs regular: does it just adjust the leg length or the body length too? I have a very long torso and rise, but short legs. Typically items labeled for short/petite become low waisted on me! Just wondering what to order....
@sturdywoman
@sturdywoman Ай бұрын
@leahholland6272 that's a great question. I've found them very responsive by email if you wanted to ask them directly. Here's their website www.cizeta.it/en/contact-us Here's what I can say from my experience. I'm 5 foot 5 inches and usually buy my pants with about a 28 inch inseam. The short leggings are just barely too short for me in a Medium or Large but perfect in the longer lengths. Watch the size chart carefully as short/regular isn't the same for every size! I hope this helps
