Perfect for me!
I recently had liposuction on my arms. I wore the garment the physician ordered for me the first 2 weeks which had elbow length sleeves. I felt I needed longer sleeves because I had some forearm swelling as well. I tried a few different garments with 3/4 length sleeves that didn’t work out because the fit was odd. I then ordered this garment. I’m very pleased. My arms currently measure 13 inches. I ordered the L/XL. It’s a good fit so it’s true to the size measurements the chart indicates. Even with tenderness persisting, I can put it on. I agree with others that it can be a bit uncomfortable in the armpit area. For me, I only felt it was a little tighter in the right armpit area because that arm is slightly more swollen. I problem solved that by placing breast pads in my armpit area between my skin and the garment. It worked! Some people mentioned an odor to the garment. I too can smell a faint fragrance. It seems like a therapeutic type scent more like eucalyptus rather than cologne or detergent and I like it. The garment overall feels soothing and is helping to reduce my post surgical lymphedema. I hope this helps others.

Helps My Lymphedema So Much!
I am so glad I took the chance on this instead of ordering the one twice the price! I was able to order two! The fit was perfect, and immediately my arm began to feel soothed. I have lymphedema in my right arm, but chose the bilateral sleeve because where the unilateral ones end is right where I need support. I had been having severe shoulder pain and inflammation along with the swelling. Within a few hours of putting it on, it is almost completely relieved. There is a heavy seam down the sleeve, I was worried this would irritate me, as I also have nerve damage in my arm that causes itching, but it hasn't bothered me at all. This was worth every cent and more. You won't regret it!

Style and treatment in one!
I have Lipedema. My arms now have it and in order to give compression to my arms, I was using a product that looked like a bandaid. Always explaining why I wore them. I saw this product, by chance, ordered it because it looked stylish and I thought it could possibly provide compression I needed. This product has fit the bill! I can wear one of my stylish tanks with the bolero and look great, feel great and get back into my life! I’ll be ordering again and recommend! Thank you!

Comfortable, True-to-size, Durable, Pain-relieving and worth every penny!!
I have adiposis dolorosa (Dercum's Disease) and it causes a slowed lymphatic system, neuropathy, muscle weakness, and generalized pain. I've been suffering from moderate to extremely severe arm and shoulder pain for months. The chiropractor recommended a brace for my posture, but I decided to research and found that compression garments are necessary for this disease. I am so glad I bought this. I received IMMEDIATE RELIEF as soon as I put these sleeves on. I wish I would have bought them sooner. My mother also has this disease, but uses a compression shirt. I have large, unbearably painful tumors on my abdomen and ribs, so that's out of the question for me. These are perfect and I don't find the underarms to be an issue at all, like others have mentioned. I even have very large lipomas and tumors, some the size of grapefruits. I normally wear a 3x and I purchased the 3x. It's the perfect amount of compression, without being too much. I wear compression normal stockings sometimes and they really bother me. This unique weave/pattern somehow works without causing the discomfort that other compression garments have caused me. I highly recommend this to anyone experiencing pain! Since wearing this, I haven't cried from the pain! Definitely a great improvement in my quality of life. My husband, who is normally extremely thrifty, has encouraged me to buy a few extras, and to buy them in both colors. That's how amazing they are!

Better options out there. Bioflect could improve the design.
I have used Bioflect leggings after surgery on my legs and abdomen, so I am familiar with this product. I ordered based on the chart and found the item to be a little big and lacking compression. The shrug that goes around the back of your neck is uncomfortable and the armpit area is irritating. I think there are better options for arm compression. I also noticed white spandex fibers pulling through the fabric, after on a couple of wears. I will not be be buying this again or recommending it.
