A recent social media post from Doja Cat on TikTok has sparked conversation after she shared that she has lipoedema, which has helped raise awareness of a condition that is often misunderstood.
Lipoedema is a chronic condition that mainly affects women and involves an abnormal build-up of fat and connective tissue, most commonly in the legs, hips and sometimes the arms. It typically affects both sides of the body.
Symptoms can include:
• pain or tenderness
• swelling
• easy bruising
• a persistent feeling of heaviness in the limbs
At Daylong, we offer compression solutions, including the Lipocare range.
Lipocare Light can support earlier-stage lipoedema with a soft, breathable circular knit design for everyday wear, while Lipocare Strong provides higher containment through a flat-knit structure for individuals who need more structured support.
While there is currently no cure, compression therapy is commonly used as part of conservative management.
Compression garments apply graduated pressure to the affected areas, which can help support the tissues, manage swelling and reduce discomfort.
