Medical Shapewear: Girdles

Lymphedema Products stocks a comprehensive array of medical shapewear girdles. Choices run the gamut from simple briefs for gentle control and support of the lower tummy, to girdles with compression panels that help target selected problem areas, such as the tummy, thighs and buttocks. In between, you'll find everything from Labia Support Briefs, for women who have undergone delicate vulva surgery, to the Zippered Rubenesque High-Back Full-Body Girdle, to the Zippered Below-Knee Bodysuit, all by leading manufacturer, Design Veronique.

Some garments are zippered for enhanced donning ease. Zippers are backed by cotton guard tape to protect delicate skin. Made of highly breathable Powernet fabric-which provides high compression and limited stretch-and featuring cotton panty liners for comfort, many of these garments also incorporate nylon and/or Spandex for stretch and figure-flattering compression. Powernet is a high-end fabric with two-way stretch. It is most often used in the construction of quality compression wear. Powernet fabric provides superior support without surrendering elasticity, despite heavy, repeated use.

Choose the garment that best fits your needs based on your specific body shape and the type of silhouette you'd like to achieve. The Zippered Rubenesque Below-Knee Girdle, for instance, is recommended for women with a smaller waist and fuller thighs and hips. You'll get targeted compression in the areas where you need it most, to achieve a sleeker silhouette, with panels to gently compress the lower abdomen, hips, and thighs to below the knees at the back of the legs. The overall effect is slimming and confidence-building.

Some garments incorporate a bra, while others leave the bust unsupported, allowing you to wear a separate bra of your choosing. Some designs feature an open crotch design, for your comfort and convenience. This handy feature makes it easy to answer the call of nature without fully disrobing. Satisfied customers have commented on the "perfect fit" and comfort of these garments, and have even suggested that you buy two of your favorite design, for the ultimate in convenience.
