My personal experience: I've been on a compression lymphatic drainage & lipedema swelling support buying spree! I bought multiple sizes of these Celsior leggings & absolutely love this brand. 💕 I struggle with leg pain, swelling & lipedema. I am always looking for high waist leggings as I dislike waist band digging into my lower abdomen. These are by far my favorite leggings! The waistband goes up to my rib cage. These have been great for daily activities, workouts & have helped reduce swelling! I wear my size 2X daily! I only wish they came in extended lengths to cover part of the foot. Description: Celsior leggings are high-waisted, compression-focused activewear designed to reduce the appearance of cellulite using 3D textured, honeycomb-like fabric. They feature a butt-lifting scrunch design, tummy control, and four-way stretch, making them suitable for yoga, workouts & daily wear. For me the compression has been great for lymphatic drainage or lipedema.
