Super interesting conversation on ITV’s This Morning today, where Josie Gibson spoke openly about living with lipoedema, including how her legs can feel heavy and swell when she’s on her feet for long periods.

Lipoedema is a long-term condition (predominantly affecting women) involving an abnormal build-up of fat and connective tissue, most commonly in the legs/hips and sometimes the arms, usually affecting both sides symmetrically. Symptoms can include:
o pain/tenderness
o swelling
o easy bruising
o a persistent feeling of heaviness.

Josie also mentioned she’s always leaned on compression gym wear and felt it’s helped her over time. Compression is a recognised part of conservative management and may help reduce limb heaviness and discomfort, support affected tissues, and help manage swelling, particularly where fluid retention or secondary lymphoedema is present.

Compression therapy works by applying graduated pressure to support the affected areas, helping to manage pain and discomfort. It can also help support the shape of the limb and, in some cases, encourage the movement of lymph away from the area to reduce swelling and help prevent symptoms from worsening.

At Daylong Direct, we offer a wide range of lipoedema-specific compression hosiery, including Lipocare, a compression solution designed for lipoedema and lymphoedema, with options to support patients across different stages and clinical needs.

o Lipocare Light can be a great everyday option for earlier-stage lipoedema, helping to ease symptoms such as leg pain and heaviness. It uses circular knit technology and a rib pattern to create a soft, breathable fit while delivering the right level of compression for comfort and mobility.

o For more complex needs, Lipocare Strong offers higher containment with a flat-knit structure to provide extra support and help improve mobility. It also includes a lightened weave in the groin area and reduced ankle compression to help avoid the tourniquet effect, plus an adjustable velcro waist strap for a more personalised fit.
