    I don't know which is the better part of your picture
    The LympheDIVA "tattoo" sleeve is truly fabulous -- I mean seriously, who says breast cancer means you can't still rock a little bada** look?

    But I'm completely distracted by that beautiful, beautiful little person in your arms....who is your handsome new man -- a grandbaby?

    (New Flower, I think you should consider one of those LympheDIVA sleeves -- you could totally rock that look!)

    Traci, sorry to say the
    Traci, sorry to say the beautiful baby in my arms is not a grandchild...but his father is my son's best friend and we have known him for 30 years and took him on many family vacations. He had been trying for a family for years.......inverto etc....and finally nature prevailed! Now, if my 37 year old son would just settle down....nah, not likely I guess :-)

    Awwwww
    A new baby like that really is awe-inspiring, isn't it? And that LympheDIVA sleeve is hysterical- I've never seen anything like it! With that kind of spirit you can beat anything! :)

    So you are a
    Cavediver,
    So you are a fauxma too. That's how I got my name. Daughter's best friend's baby. Her mom is my best friend. And how great that your son's best friend finally has his baby.
    I have to go and look at the picture and will comment there as well.

    Have several different DIVA sleeves....tie dy look, florals, etc...but the tatoo one is my favorite for sure. But they are all fun and better than that 'medical' look of a standard compression garment.

    I am so happy that there are creative sleeves for you 'gals' out there. Makes life a little more fun, and after care ==== bearable.

    Hi Cavediver, Loved your
    Hi Cavediver, Loved your photo, what a beautiful baby. Where do you get your compression sleeves and how much do they cost. I only have one and its stretched out so I need a new one but I paid almost $100 for it and it has only been a few months.

    Sunrae............
    The pretty sleeves are from lymphediva.com They run 70-90 for just a sleeve whether class I or II...but discounted if you buy sleeve & gauntlet as a set. They also have seconds and sometimes 'specials'. I also had Jobst standard med look sleeve. I have heard that some of the knock-offs stretch out too quickly but I have been extemely happy with my LympheDiva sleeves.....no seams, beautifully made and to look at. Let me know how you make out.

    Perhaps I mis-read -
    but it seemed to say that they do not have custom made available. There is no way that a 'standard' glove will fit my hand - I have very weird hands with some 'webbing' between fingers.

    The Divas have gauntlets and sleeves only....no gloves. I use either a custom Jobst or I have a few std. Jobst gloves....or I use the Kinesio Tape with the gauntlet.

    My point is that if 'you' NEED custom (and some of us do) - it's not an option with 'Divas'.
