Class I Medical Device — 15–21 mmHg
Solidea BE YOU Wave Leggings
Micro-massaging compression for lower limb
management
Graduated compression with patented 3D wave fabric technology. Designed to improve patient concordance through comfort, flexibility and a lifestyle-friendly finish.
Compression leggings designed for concordance
Solidea compression garments combine graduated compression with patented 3D micro-massaging wave fabric technology to support lymphatic and venous return.
- Graduated compression (15–21 mmHg) supports venous return and reduces fluid accumulation
- 3D wave fabric delivers continuous micro-massage during movement, stimulating superficial lymphatics
- Alternating compressive and decompressive forces enhance clinical function beyond static compression
- FIR (Far Infrared) yarn supports tissue metabolism and thermoregulation
- Opaque, lifestyle-friendly finish improves concordance through reduced aesthetic barrier
- Standard and Curvy fit options address disproportionate body shapes common in lipoedema
Clinical application
BE YOU Tonic is indicated for use in the conservative management of lower limb lymphatic and venous conditions.
Indications
- Lipoedema
- Lymphoedema (lower limb)
- Lipo-lymphoedema
- Venous insufficiency and fluid retention
- Patients requiring supportive compression for long-term condition management
Therapeutic goals

Instructions for use
Intended use
BE YOU Tonic garments are Class I medical devices designed to:
- Support lymphatic return
- Assist in the management of lymphoedema and lipoedema
- Improve venous circulation
- Reduce fluid retention and associated symptoms
Application guidance
- Apply to clean, dry skin
- Ensure correct sizing before use
- Smooth garment to avoid folds or creases
- Wear as directed by a healthcare professional
What patients may experience
- Gentle compression and light support
- A subtle textured sensation from the wave fabric
The micro-massage effect may leave temporary
skin impressions, indicating active tissue stimulation. This is expected and not a cause for
concern.
Care and maintenance
- Remove daily for hygiene and skin inspection
- Wash according to instructions (avoid fabric softener)
- Replace garments as clinically advised (typically 4–6 months)
- Two garments in rotation is recommended
Clinical outcomes — lipoedema
Clinical evaluation of micro-massaging compression leggings has demonstrated measurable improvements across pain, limb volume and patient experience.
~7%Limb circumference reduction
LessPain and discomfort
LowerSubcutaneous tissue thickness
HigherComfort and adherence
| Outcome | Finding | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Pain and discomfort | Reduction reported across participants | Supports quality of life improvement |
| Limb circumference | Approximately 7% reduction | Objective volume reduction |
| Subcutaneous tissue | Decrease in thickness | Indicates tissue decongestion |
| Patient adherence | Improved comfort and willingness to wear | Linked to better long-term outcomes |
Mechanism of action
| Mechanism | Action |
|---|---|
| Graduated compression | Supports venous and lymphatic return |
| Micro-massage fabric | Stimulates superficial lymphatics during movement |
| Movement activation | Enhances fluid mobilisation during daily activity |
Patient outcomes: Improved
adherence is directly linked to better long-term clinical outcomes. BE YOU Tonic addresses
the concordance barrier through comfort, breathability and aesthetic acceptability.

Clinical questions
How does this differ from standard flat-knit or circular-knit compression?
Standard compression garments provide static graduated
pressure. BE YOU Tonic adds a dynamic component: the 3D wave fabric creates alternating
compressive and decompressive forces during movement, actively stimulating superficial
lymphatics and microcirculation.
Is this suitable for patients with lipoedema?
Yes. The Curvy fit range is specifically designed for the
disproportionate body shape common in lipoedema. Clinical evaluation has demonstrated
reduction in pain, limb circumference (~7%) and subcutaneous tissue thickness.
Can patients purchase without a prescription?
Yes. At 15–21 mmHg these fall within the moderate
compression range. Patients with qualifying chronic conditions are eligible for VAT
exemption via self-declaration.
Is this available on the NHS Drug Tariff?
Not currently. Direct purchase via Daylong with VAT
exemption is the most accessible route. Contact sales@daylongdirect.co.uk for bulk
ordering.
What is the expected garment lifespan?
With daily wear, compression effectiveness is maintained
for approximately 4–6 months. Two garments in rotation is recommended. Avoid fabric
softener.
