Tips on Applying Compression

Put it on in the morning when any swelling is minimal, rather than part way through the day.

Get yourself in a comfortable position before you start

Find out about applicators such as the medi Butler/Valet, the Ezy-As, and the Easy-slide. These will all make application easier and make you more likely to wear the garment.  It can take time to get used to using these but you will become quicker over time

Wear a pair of household or gardening gloves that help to grip the material, minimising the risk of tearing

Break yourself in gently; garments can feel tight when first used. Wear them for a shorter time to start with and gradually increase the time.  They will slacken over time and wearing.
