Regular washing helps address this, but I’ve heard a couple other people mention its “bagginess” at the top, too they’ve spoken with the lovely people over at Jobst about it, as have I, so the team is aware of that as they continue to improve and develop the Relax!Ĭhillin’ out, maxin’, Jobst Relaxin’ all cool!
The fit has been good, although sometimes it slips down to about mid-thigh during daytime wear and I find myself having to pull or tug it back into place. I haven’t worn the Relax out of the house yet, but I imagine it’d be great for travel, especially if you’re sitting on a plane or in a car for hours. Just got back from a late night class? Get that Relax on, STAT! Spending a lazy weekend morning with a cup of coffee and my cat? I’m Relaxing, in every sense of the word.īecause it isn’t bulky, I’ve found it fits comfortably under lounge pants, sweats, or any loose-fitting pants I can also wear it with my tennis shoes. I wear the Relax whenever I’m around the house: Working from home? Wear the Relax. Like I said before: it’s a lifestyle garment, adaptable to whatever you need it to be. The Relax, though, has proven much comfier and way less restrictive - its lightweight, breathable material makes it so I almost forget I’m wearing a compression garment at all! After spending long hours at my desk, regular daytime compression tends to get really pinchy and uncomfortable, to the point where my leg goes numb with painful pins and needles. You know when you get home from a long day, and you kick off your shoes and swap your constricting work clothes for comfy sweats? Wearing the Jobst Relax is like that: it’s the sweatpants of compression, and I mean that in the best way possible.īecause I work at a computer and am a full-time student, I sit a lot. Currently, the Relax is available in both upper and lower extremity styles (armsleeve with or without gauntlet knee high thigh high) and offers the option to include an integrated zipper for easier donning and doffing.īecause it’s flat-knit, it provides consistent gradient compression that’s available in both compression class 1 (15-20 mmHg) and class 2 (20-30 mmHg), making it a great option for patients with mild to moderate lymphedema in the maintenance phase.Īn informational sheet on the Relax. It’s a custom garment, which means you’ll need to be measured by a garment fitter before ordering. Just one look at the Relax and you can tell it’s different from most custom garments out there because of its unique material.įlexible, lightweight, and thin, the Relax is flat-knit with COOLMAX® yarns that encourage air flow, giving the material a refreshing breathability that I haven’t felt before with other garments. Its soft but textured surface creates a micro-massaging effect to stimulate lymphatic flow, and its monofilament spacer layer provides cushiony comfort. Getting measured for my Relax! The Product
