The best tips for hot days with lipedema and lymphedema
Yikes, summer again. But don't worry, here's what you need to know about summer in flat knit and circular knit compression.
SPF of compression
Did you know that flat knit compression has a sun protection factor between 20 and 80? So you don't necessarily have to apply cream under the compression, but you do have to apply more cream around it.
heat build-up on the feet
I am a big advocate of open shoes, even with closed toes. Now let's be honest, there is no fashion bible that says you can't do that and our compression socks aren't tennis socks either. So put your feet up and into your sandals! Create a climate zone for yourself and enjoy the fresh wind blowing through the knitted fabric.
"For a cool down in between, you can use this funny and handy spray bottle, fill it with water and an essential oil of your choice, and spray it on whenever needed. Don't worry, the compression can handle that!"
Beware of mosquitoes
"Do you also have no mosquito bites, but mosquito sting volcanoes? These huge patches are not so harmless, because excessive scratching can lead to inflammation and in the worst case trigger erysipelas. We don't want that, so it's best to take this helpful gadget in hand. The bite away heats the sting and neutralizes the itching goo of the mosquito. A blessing, I tell you. The sooner you use it, the better."
Here you can find the perfect tools for your summer in compression!
