Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming our incredible lipedema ambassadors - #lipedemaheroes, as we call them - from the UK, France, Benelux, and Germany to the LIPOELASTIC headquarters in Valasske Mezirici. And it wasn't just a company event; it was a celebration of resilience and the power of community.
What Brings us Together: A Day of Connection and Courage
Our day began with a presentation about LIPOELASTIC's ongoing commitment to supporting people living with lipedema. We discussed our #lipedemahero concept and initiatives that are already active across several markets, including Germany and Austria, the UK and the US. The Benelux ambassadors are now preparing to launch their platform, and we can't wait to see their voices come to life.
What makes us especially proud is that many of our ambassadors aren't just faces on a campaign - they're part of the LIPOELASTIC team working with us day-to-day. Their personal journey brings invaluable insight to our product development, messaging, and patient support.
We shared perspectives on how lipedema is perceived in each country, discussed the challenges of getting a diagnosis, and gathered honest feedback on what women really want from their compression garments.

Our guests then enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour of our production site, seeing firsthand how every garment is crafted with precision and care. Later, we captured some beautiful moments in a professional photo shoot - both in our studio and out around the town. We also took the opportunity to shoot our newest FLOW leggings, designed with a 3D massaging structure to support lymphatic flow. Already a best-seller within the lipedema community (While our planned hike was rained out, we still finished the day with smiles, drinks, and a cozy group dinner back at the hotel.)
Together, We Define What Lipedema Looks Like
These are the moments that remind us why we do what we do. Lipedema is often invisible to the outside world, but it shouldn't feel invisible to those who live with it. At LIPOELASTIC, we're committed to listening, evolving, and creating products that offer more than just support - they offer dignity, comfort, and confidence.
To all the women who joined us - thank you for sharing your stories and being part of our incredible #lipedemahero community.
And if you're reading this and living with lipedema yourself - whether diagnosed or just starting to ask questions - we'd love to hear from you. Your story matters and you just might be our next Lipedema Hero.
