Applying Your Flexitouch Plus Trunk Garment
These instructions apply to the trunk garment pictured in Figures
5.2.a. and 5.2.b.
Preparing Your Trunk Garment
1. Unfold and place your trunk garment on a bed or sofa so the
thigh flaps and pocket closure are facing up and the hose is
coming out to the right. The pocket closure is at the top of the
garment in the front and the thigh flaps are at the bottom.

Applying Your Trunk Garment for Daily Treatment
2. Sit down and open the pocket closure to slide your garment on
as you would a pair of shorts. Bring the inside flap of your trunk
garment across your waist (#2 in Figure 5.2.c.). For best results,
bring your trunk garment up as high as is comfortable – at least
as high as your belly button.
3. Secure your trunk garment using the pocket closure (#3 in
Figure 5.2.d.).
4. To get a well-contoured fit, undo the thigh flaps and wrap the
garment snugly around your thigh (#4 in Figure 5.2.d.).
You are now ready to begin your treatment session. See Chapter 9
for further instructions.
Removing Your Trunk Garment
5. To remove your trunk garment, simply open the pocket closure
and slide the garment off as you would a pair of shorts.
