FAQs

Lymphedema is chronic swelling caused by a buildup of lymphatic fluid, often after lymph nodes are removed or damaged — for example, following breast cancer treatment. Wearing medical-grade graduated compression garments is one of the most common ways to manage and control this swelling. LympheDIVAs makes graduated compression sleeves, gauntlets, gloves, and socks designed to help you manage lymphedema and lymphedema risk in comfort and style. Always follow the guidance of your doctor or lymphedema therapist.

LympheDIVAs was founded in 2006 by young breast cancer survivors who wanted a compression garment they would actually want to wear. Every garment is made to order in the USA and comes in 75+ colors and patterns, with seamless, breathable, moisture-wicking fabric and 4-way stretch — plus our latex-free, silicone-free DIVA Diamond Band to help keep sleeves in place. You get true medical-grade graduated compression with the look and feel of a fashion accessory.

LympheDIVAs offers compression arm sleeves, gauntlets, gloves, and socks. All are made to order in the USA with medical-grade graduated compression and a wide range of colors and patterns.

No, you don't need a prescription to purchase LympheDIVAs garments online. We do recommend consulting your doctor or lymphedema therapist to confirm the right compression level for you — and a prescription may be required if you plan to seek insurance reimbursement.

Measure with a tape measure rather than going by your usual clothing size — compression sizing differs from brand to brand. Our Sizing Guide walks you through every measurement and size range so you can find your just-right fit. 💜

LympheDIVAs sleeves, gauntlets, and gloves come in 20–30 mmHg and 30–40 mmHg, and compression socks are also available in 15–20 mmHg. The right level depends on your individual needs and should be recommended by your doctor or lymphedema therapist. If you're not sure, give us a call and we'll help point you in the right direction.

If you're between sizes, reach out before you order and our fitting experts will help you land on the perfect size. For the most accurate measurements, it helps to have a lymphedema therapist, fitter, or a trusty friend lend a hand. 💜

For sleeves and socks, "short" means under 43 cm and "long" means over 43 cm in length. Our Sizing Guide shows you exactly where to measure so there's no guesswork.

With regular wear, LympheDIVAs garments typically last about 4–6 months, and rotating several at a time can extend that even further. It's time to replace your garment when it no longer snaps back into shape after a proper wash, or when it no longer feels snug — those are the real signs that the compression is wearing down.
