Alternative to flat knit compression: Which compression clothing is right for me?

JUST! Before you think, “Compression alternative? How bidde? And what about medical compression care? What is this here now?”, please take a quick breath.

We all know them, the moments in life when you just don't jump into your compression gallantly and skillfully like you usually do, but instead give up in frustration after several attempts and then don't wear one. After Swimming, on one lazy Sunday, if you have one Injury tightened on one finger, you at Yoga simply can't breathe any more if proper compression care is still in place in the laundry is bobbing around or is still stuck in an adjustment loop.

To be honest, I, Caroline – the power sprat, also have moments like that. Rarely, but I should go swimming more often anyway... and before you end up with no compression at all, it can Bankl, the "Besser als nix”KcompressionLeggings, the Silver Wave Skin compression bra or the Anita Sport Tights Massage (available up to size 60!) give you at least a little support until medical care can take over again.

As the name suggests, they are still better than nothing. But how do you know which one is the right choice for you? Here you get the answer.

It is also important to me to emphasize once again that... in the case of lipedema/lymphedema or pure lymphedema I just give you that Bankl K2 recommend. Not only because of the stronger compression, but also because of the foot part, which limits storage on the back of the foot. However, I ask you to rely primarily on flat knit compression, otherwise you risk a significant deterioration in your circumference.
