BIOFLECT® Compression Shorts with Bio Ceramic Micro-Massage Knit- for Support and Comfort - M/L Sand

Last fall I was diagnosed with lymphedema in both legs from thighs down into toes. My lymphedema therapist specifically recommended Bio Flex compression garments as part of my long term treatment program. I was on the border line between a 3xl and a 4xl and bought one of each size. After trying both on I opted to wear the larger size. My initial purchase in early spring 2023 was the leggings but found the combination of 20-30 mmHG knee high compression socks and the leggings was uncomfortable. I switched to the shorts and it was a good solution. Overall the garments are comfortable and for me a better solution than thigh high compression stockings which I tried. I wear them every day but do not sleep in them. I would like a little more support in the inside upper thigh. They are well made and holding up well. I have not had any issues with weak seams in the crotch. One pair has a few pulls on the side from where I snagged it. I consider that normal wear and tear. The garments are easy to care for, just throw them in the washer on delicate cycle with a small amount of soap and hang them up to dry. I usually wash 4 pairs at a time and have found they dry quickly. I have 6 pairs of the shorts in black, one pair of black leggings, and one pair of the flesh colored leggings. I do not like the flesh color because it is too pink. Since my spring purchases, I have lost 22 pounds and am solidly in the 3xl range. The 4xl continue to provide good support and I am holding off buying the smaller size because I need to lose about 20 more pounds before hip replacement surgery. When I meet that goal I should be down to the 2xl size range.

Wish I'd bought these sooner! I've been buying cheap imitations for years, meanwhile my lipedema got worse. To the point it is now painful. These are comfortable and long enough to cover my entire thigh. Pain is gone. They look smooth under dress pants. Just bought another!

These do offer medium to snug compression which is what I wanted post thigh liposuction. Takes some effort but not too difficult to put on and take off. No open crotch area. I am 5'6" about 165 lbs. Bought XL, might have been able to use a L. Definitely high waisted up to almost my bra-line which I didn't want. Very stretchy and the weave does leaves marks on my skin which is what keeps lymph fluid moving. Quality is sturdy. It is knit material and quite warm so don't wear it running around in the summer heat. Moisture does not wick away quickly.

Hip and pelvic pain almost completely gone while wearing these! Truly life changing!

I bought these because I have lymphedema after cancer treatment. WARNING -- If you have short legs like I do, these are not shorts. I have the leggings, and they have to be rolled up. The capris go to my ankles. The shorts hit a few inches below my knees. BUT... they are SUPER comfortable, give great compression, I love the massaging action of the fabric, they control tummy and thigh jingle, and are light and breathable despite their thickness. They are perfect!
