Lymphoedema Sleeves
I don't have lymphoedema but in my internet noodling today I came across these. Thought they looked rather fun. No idea if they're any good but the woman I saw wearing one has had cancer three times and seemed pretty happy with her sleeve.

- My pleasure, @Glynnis
- Awesome Thank you @lrb_03 😀
- @Glynnis, the ALA (Australasian Lymphology Association) website has some information about what rebates are available for each state, as well as other useful information
Here's a link to the rebate page

- @glynnis The lymphoedema rebates vary from state to state. I live in SA and I believe that it is the only state that currently has no rebate.
- They are sold in Australia under the name Lymphedonna
The website is:
lymphedonna.com.au
My lymphoedema physio recently took over management of this product in Australia. They are said to be class 2 garments but certainly they are not as strong as my jobst garments. They certainly couldn't replace those. Liz has said it may be ok for me for occasional wear only, but not as a replacement for my usual garments.
There are some great designs - My lymphodema physio measured me and worked out which was okay for me. I don't always have lymphodema but have experienced it after traveling so have one for then.
- @Flaneuse free public health one?? I’ve had to pay for both of mine
- Which is why I haven’t bought one yet! And the ones I like best won’t match anything I own!
- Very expensive for a special occasion. Think I'd rather spend it on an outfit and wear my free public health flesh-coloured one.
