“I really wanted to love this, but I think maybe it should come with directions, for how to get it on. I know the company really wants to support those who have gone through breast cancer, but when we have all that built up scar tissue and restricted movement, it really makes putting this on difficult. That being said a couple things are bothersome, the perles align on the inside of my elbow, which means when my arm is bent for any period of time, it ends up getting irritated (picture is the next day). I also feel like the back perles don't really touch my back securely, so I'm not sure if I'm getting benefit from that. I mainly bought it to use for travel when I have to fly to give a little extra lymphatic drainage for the side I already have to wear a sleeve for (when fly). If I can manage to get out of it, next time I try it on I will see if there's an easier way to get it on, and that might alleviate some of my issues.
For a normal person who doesn't have my physical awkwardness, I would still recommend it. For reference, I bought a medium which is the same size that I wear in the tank tops.”

“This shirt is a wonderful complement to my other pieces. I love wearing the shirt and stirrups together when I'm working at my computer. The gentle massage during the workday really helps my skin texture.”
Dear Elissa, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that the tank is such a great complement to your other pieces, and that pairing it with the stirrups during your workday provides that gentle, supportive massage.
