When I'm shopping, mischievous Easter bunnies smile at me everywhere. It's spring. The long Easter weekend is approaching! My heart starts jumping up and down joyfully. And my dear lipedema legs say: “Let’s go somewhere!”
Do you know that, too? As soon as it gets warmer, I feel an overwhelming urge to go out. And by getting out I don't just mean taking a walk to the lake, but getting out of familiar surroundings. For me, spring means new life and new experiences. Hiking, excursions, vacations, visiting family and friends – the main thing is to be on the go!
However, especially if you have a lipedema or lymphedema diagnosis or a venous disease, it can't hurt to tell you before your trip a packing list to ensure that everything important is included. After all, you don't want to go looking for care products during the Easter holidays. So that you can optimally prepare for your next excursion, visit and vacation, we have put together a few favorites. One or another By the way, little things are also suitable for the Easter basket the older children. 😉

In addition, Duckhead, like POWER sprat, is a women-run company. Last but not least, they just look damn good AND ensure that you, dear flat knitting hero, stay dry. What if this isn't a win-win situation?
Bring on the lipedema swag
You love the sprat swag, right? Correct. Of course, you can't take everything with you on vacation, as your suitcase is always full.

Wash compression daily – but how?
You may have asked yourself this question several times in the last few months and weeks. At home, this can usually be easily done in the sink, or you can do a load of laundry at the end of the day anyway. Whatever can be easily solved in the hotel will become a reality at the latest on a camping holiday or medieval festival more difficult. That's what it's for foldable bucket in the POWER Sprat Shop! You can take it with you anywhere and Simply wash your compression (and other items such as period underwear) in it. After use, simply hang it up and let it dry. But the foldable bucket can do much more. Alternatively, it can also be used spontaneously Carry bag be converted or, what I personally find brilliant, on particularly hot days it becomes a... Mini pool.
Shine is my favorite color – and yours?
You actually don't need a coffee-to-go cup on vacation. At least not on an all-inclusive beach holiday, where you can help yourself to the coffee bar all day long. But for all those who... City or camping trips do and travel economically want to be, is that “Shine is my favorite color” coffee-to-go mug an ingenious invention.

Mindfulness on vacation
And speaking of wellness, Then why not integrate a little mindfulness into your vacation day?

It also contains a longer introductory section with additional Exercises like the “Wheel of Life.”“or a chapter on Topic “Values”. If you've been thinking for a while that you want to be more mindful of your needs and find yourself lacking focus in everyday life, then simply take the mindfulness planner with you on vacation. And if you just read a few pages, that's a start. The point is not that you should start “perfectly” with the planner. Simply starting is enough. As the saying goes? One day or day one. You decide.
Also: If you have lipedema and lymphedema, go swimming in the morning
They are a true miracle weapon Morning laps through the swimming pool. They not only cool down your body, but also work through movement in the water almost like lymphatic drainage and refresh you for the rest of the day. The water pressure has an even stronger effect on your body than the compression stockings and you can take advantage of that. But remember that the effect only lasts about 3-4 hoursif you don't put the compression stockings back on afterwards.
This is also an important note for your vacation. If you feel like wearing compression during this time, Get in the water at least every few hours and swim persistently, kick your feet and give your rubber!
