I liked the result so well that I have purchased some from the mobiderm.com.au site. https://mobiderm.com.au/collections/mobiderm-bandage-system - I prefer the 5mm x 5mm stuff but accidentally ordered the 15mm x 15mm, which seems to work ok too, just lumpier. I have also bought several different bras but anything very compressive seems to set the swelling off. I have been recommended someone to try who specialises in fitting bras for lymphodema so I’ll give that a go too. Not sure if others have had good results with mobiderm or not.
