The Hugger Prima is a compression garment designed to provide HIGH to MEDIUM compression in order to support your recovery post-surgically or help with lymphedema management so it may feel tighter than the non-compression bras you are used to, but should not be painful - compression by definition is “the state of being compressed; to press together; force into less space.”
Always wear your HuggerPRIMA over a tank top for at least 30 minutes first so that your body can adjust to the feel of the compression and you can feel confident that
you are in the right size Hugger.
If you need to add some additional “breathing” room or would like to moderate the compression of your HuggerPRIMA during extended use (and/or once your body is through key recovery times per your medical professional), you can simply purchase the Extender for your existing size Hugger or upsize your Hugger for even more room.
If you have any questions about the level of compression as it relates specifically to your body's recovery, please consult your medical professional.
