A beautiful option for compression care!
The story of LympheDIVAs began in Philadelphia when two young breast cancer survivors developed lymphedema, a side effect of breast cancer treatment that can cause permanent swelling in the arms. Their physicians and lymphedema therapists recommended a compression sleeve as the most effective way of controlling the swelling. When they researched the options for the sleeve they found that the only ones available were rough textured, heavy, hot, beige, and bandage-like. Frustrated and dismayed over the lack of options they had for compression sleeves, they met with a fashion designer, to discuss their idea of creating a more elegant and comfortable lymphedema Arm sleeves .
LympheDIVAs’ hope is that their compression apparel and lymphedema Arm sleeves will continue to inspire breast cancer survivors everywhere to feel beautiful, strong and confident.
