What Should I Do If My Compression Garment Slips During the Day?

Persistent slipping may relate to size, style, garment length or changes in body measurements.

Why Might a Garment Slip?

Slight movement during activity differs from persistent slipping up or down. Repeated slipping may indicate that the garment no longer fits adequately.

Body measurements can change as postoperative swelling reduces, making a garment that initially fitted well feel looser later.

Reassessing Size and Style

If you constantly need to pull or reposition the garment, new measurements may help. Moving straight to a smaller size solely to prevent slipping may be inappropriate.
